New Feature Coming - Targeting Heroes

No I think it's just about managing expectations. Something this community has shown it's not great at. Personally I think this teaser is a bad idea. They may as well have waited and dropped it on us. Or said a feature was coming and say nothing more, part details will never work well.1

You see, it's this mat that has a bunch of different conclusions you can jump to.17 -

ThaRoadWarrior said:I could also see this feature being cool if it ONLY helped you go from 0->13 covers, rather than for grinding out champ levels. In that sense it would be a solid catch-up strategy to help stimulate the Middle Class of transitioners, rather than something that just helps the Haves have more.I'd like to have ways to speed up 4* champs too, either those weird ones that have 5* covers as champ rewards or the newer ones which don't work as well with the rest of my roster because of how tanking works, for instance. Other than BH in their current state.
But as a catch up mechanic, I could see a higher rate for the first character (not dupes) that's <13 covers. Something like that would help newer players. Sure, I'm all for it.0 -
The way I look at it, and encourage others to do so as well is anything is better than nothing.
Will it fully address every issue of dilution, probably not. Will it help, probably yes. Much like mentioned by Fight earlier, temper expectations. It will probably not alone solve dilution but as the devs suggested in their post, they viewed saved covers and bonus heroes as part of the dilution solution, and now adding targeted heroes. So expect something along the lines closer to the above features in helpfulness, rather than it being a complete solution to dilution by itself.1 -
That would be interesting; what would happen to existing feeders? Would they get removed from existing champ stacks, or just sit around in partial implementation limbo like Supports?0

I don't know if you're being hyperbolic, but if you actually do have one, please post a pic0 -

For example, one of the biggest things players have been asking for is a way to direct progress towards given characters, especially those that aren't directly featured in a given pack. Both the Saved Heroes and Bonus Heroes systems help with this, but we can go even further. Directed progress is super important for players to feel as if they can get more powerful by playing to have the tools they need to succeed.
By working with this new coming soon feature, players will be able to choose which characters they want to directly go for and get covers to complete. On top of this, the feature is visible and easily trackable, so players will always know how close they are to that next character milestone.
After re-reading this part of the announcement again I'm hoping this is just a 'fixed draw' feature. By that I mean after X number of 4* or 5* tokens you get a guaranteed 4* or 5* character of your choice.For example lets say the X is 9 and you set your 5* target hero to Surfer. So after your next 9 5* covers (from latest, classic, special release store etc) your next 5* cover (again from any latest, classic, special release store) will be a Surfer (presumably random color).The tracking feature will show you how far along you are toward the X value (9 in my example) so it might say 7/9 to show that you have hit 7 5* tokens since your last fixed draw. You'd then would know you are close (in case you want to change your target hero I suppose or just know how many more tokens you might need to open).Perhaps a T10 finish in a PvE or PvP will move you 1 further along without actually opening tokens.KGB4 -

Complete specific activity, get x points. The higher the * level cover is, the more points it costs...

My question is, will this be like Shield Clearance Levels? Remember when SCL first came our we were given a rank based on something....? I don't remember the criteria. Which translated into a bunch of iso. I remember receiving around 300K or more. Will we be prorated with rewards based on some sort of level?.... Not to jump to conclusions....0

I have been thinking about this feature and I am wondering how the targeting will work.
option 1 like shield rank used to work where you gain experience per match that slowly builds up toll you can upgrade a level.
option 2 how shield rank works now with with cover pulls and levels building up points to get a cover.
option 3 directly tying to LT/CP pulls. So every five 5* you pull you get your targeted hero. Every four 4* you get your targeted 4*.
option 4 buying points for targeted hero’s with iso, red iso, or HP0
