We're pretty well set on our release plans for April at this point though, so the next 5-Star will be coming out around month end as per a "normal" two character per month schedule.Past that, we're not 100% sure on the release schedule. A certain film that was planned around set up one thing and the delay there has kind of messed around with near future character release plans. We've got options, so there shouldn't be any content release issues, but nothing set in stone for May quite yet. So we are at the point of 4/5/4/5. This is terrible and not a good step. It is hard enough for some that play at a high level to get them champed before they leave LL without dumping a ton of money into the game. Couldn't agree more. The game wears more and more on me.

I'll say it in every thread if I need to. 4/5/4/5 every two weeks with no boss events is one of the worst developments I've seen in my 4 years of playing. I guess it's a case of be careful what we wish for. We've been asking for a solution to dilution in the 4* tier for years now. Well, this seems to be part of the answer. Release fewer 4*s because more 5*s are getting released instead. 🤦♂️

The mistake with the tier in the first place was having F2P players like myself being able to keep up if I chose. No one except the whales should have been able to keep up. As has been proved him and time again through every tier the game is stale when everyone has the meta characters all the time. The most you should have been able to realistically cover for free should have been 2 out of 3. We should all have been making a choice which ones to fully cover to suit out play style or existing champs.But yeah I get now after being able to do that for so long why it might be upsetting. Just pick the bad ones get one cover and let them slide away. It's not hurt my game one bit doing that.

Just pick the bad ones get one cover and let them slide away. It's not hurt my game one bit doing that. That's nice. For you. It's been my goal for the past 3+ years to eventually champ everyone. I've been playing my butt off to do it, especially the last two years after becoming a T10 hybrid player, and was getting fairly close. My only two Classics with fewer than 10 covers are Black Widow (2/4/3) and Doc Ock (3/2/3). And now the rug is getting pulled out from under me yet again.Look, I have no issue with whales getting 500+ versions of each character. Most of my 5*s end up between 450 and 460 before cycling out, and that's pretty reasonable for how much I play. And all this ignores the fact that the dilution problem just gets spread to the 5* tier as well now. Heck, Classics was already pretty much an inefficient black hole to toss your CP into. Let's just go ahead and make it worse while we're at it. 🤦♂️

Whale territory should be 500+ covers on small group of 5* charecters It’s easy to see no real variation in pvp has come by almost everyone having the ability to champ the meta all the time. I would much rather it was more of a compromise to get those characters and switch the meta up more frequently. People constantly complain all they ever see if X and Y, well that’s because they are meta and everyone has them.All that does is then calls of nerf X and Y because that’s all we see.

Let's just go ahead and make it worse while we're at it. 🤦♂️ The devs are in a position with no good options (sound familiar?).They layer in more 4's that matter less and less.....they annoy and frustrate people who are trying to maybe, possibly think about moving up into and through the 4 tier. And make each 4's covers less and less important to players as a reward.Or they add more 5's and now they are frustrating the top players who feel less able to keep up and frustrated by a rapid pace of release, meaning you have less flexibility to finish each one. Which could mean bad things down the road if one that was previously kind-of dismissed (Iceman) becomes an important tool when a new one comes along with synergy.The game is 6 1/2 years old and has over 200 characters so they are just trying to keep doing what they have been doing as long as humanly possible and as long as we all login everyday and some people toss money at the game. Dilution is a feature when you push a new bundle out every other day or so.
