JHawkInc said: But no, the 5:1 trade (that you won't even need a significant amount of the time thanks to the Save cover feature) is evil, and it's totally valid to insult the devs for improving the game for the entire playerbase (including the grumpy Gary's who hate the trade rate). You guys are ridiculous.

You guys are ridiculous. You certainly won this round of the argument against the non-existent people you're talking about. I read this whole thread, not once did I see anyone arguing that this feature was evil or even objectively bad. Comparatively bad when compared to 1:1 LL swaps? Sure.

Seems like more effort than it’s worth to prevent people from banking 5 covers on fully-covered characters -some- of the time. Now it it seems like the “correct” thing to do is get a character to 12/13, then bank 4-5 covers, and then finally fully cover them. The system is designed to ameliorate poor luck in covering characters, not to provide a sort of Champion bank. That portion of the feature is more of an added bonus, since we didn't want you to just lose those covers if you picked up that last color while you stocked 5 otherwise.

For a single character you could've had at most 8 swaps before champing (13/0/0).Say you had pulled for a latest 0/4/9 or 1/3/9 or 2/2/9 (or some permutation). That's only 4 swaps, and you'd be able to champ it and respec as you like, already. But now in that situation, you'd have a 9 cover character with room for just one miss left in the bank before you'd have to gamble whether to risk wasting covers pulling one by one or wasting by exchanging them.I agree this is a positive change overall and in the long run. But in cases where a player was already unlucky with rng, this can make it even worse...Also, this change should be very friendly with 4* feeders, as they give covers evenly in all colors but so slowly. Maybe increasing the number of feeders a little faster and increasing the overall bonus heroes rate for legendary stores or 4* characters can help both with dilution and severely bad rng that would lead to many wasted covers.

Made my day, really.I went back through 5 pages of replies and only saw ONE negative post. The rest were a mix of "this is great" and "this is great except for the 5*s". Maybe I didn't go back far enough.

Maybe I didn't go back far enough. Or, like I said, you skipped over them, since the 5 examples I gave came from the previous 3 pages. Those weren't just theoretical examples of negativity, those were things I pulled directly from posts on pages 7+. I didn't quote individual posts in an effort to not call out and antagonize individual users, but I can do so if you're still having trouble finding the negativity yourself. (also, there is an entire second thread with the same type of negativity, if you'd like more examples)
Kahmon said: All the negativity seems obsessed with the 5 to 1 swapping, but i see it as having a 5 cover grace period before champing. Now you have 18 covers to get the 13 you need before any possible waste.Sure some characters will get champed a little later, but when banked covers get applied and champ rewards kicking in, players will be caught up with less chance of waste.
