Keen to know more about feeders! Been almost a year since last time!0
-
Mass feeding happened during Shardpocalypse. So, we have another 2 months to go.0
-
Anniversary looks pretty much done to me. New 5DP on Thursday is it. Feeders would be a massive shock at this point.

Sadly this year's anniversary is indicative of the current state of the game.
Lackluster and boring5 -

That could be where the disconnect is coming from. Personally, I rarely see kitty teams very much anymore. It's almost nothing but hulkoyes, but maybe blackbolt is in a different MMR or plays in a slice where there are more players still using her.2 -
So, two topics, it seems...
---
Kitty being meta .... Yes. In every sense of the word. Not realizing this is kinda amazing. I mean, you got tile buff power that's ridiculously strong. Board control that constantly removes the enemy's SAP/CD tiles, ending in damage if they don't keep up. Those two points alone are amazing.
Does she have answers for fighting her? Yep. Just like Okoye does! This doesn't make her NOT meta. Other newer 5*s are NOT making her obsolete... in fact, the only new character that's stealing her thunder is Polaris. And to be entirely honest, I'm using Kitty WITH Polaris, and ruining Kitty/BRB and Kitty/Rocket teams.
But -- does this make me NOT want to run Kitty/tile spam character? Nope. Just depends on the fight. Certain teams get my Apoc/halfThor, some get Okoye/halfThor, others get Kitty/Rocket, or Kitty/BRB... or even now, since I champed them both, ProfX/Onslaught (because it's fun!)
----
State of Anniversary...
Yeah, I'd say it's lackluster right NOW... but it's not done yet. I remember in years past that they held things close-to-the-vest until it was wrapping up. So, gotta wait it out, IMO.
However, I think there's plenty of truth to the statements where the more-developed your roster, the more dull it is. This isn't the game's fault, I think. I mean... sure, it IS the game's fault literally, but do you really expect the devs to give MORE rewards to the "rich"?? I know that's what we all want, but that's just human nature -- more more MORE!! These Deadpool Nightly Games are fun -- as long as you play the character they suggest. Because seriously, if you're like any of us in 5* land, you probably have someone that just melts these fights. So, I think the Anniversary celebrations are here to have a bit of fun and keep the non-long-time-vets invested in the game a bit more.
Sure, it sounds kinda ridiculous - i mean, why wouldn't they wanna make us long-timers MORE invested? Well, I think they know the same truth that WE know... we ARE invested. And quite frankly, a few extra things here and there aren't gonna make us spend more than we already are. However, 3* and 4* players may be convinced to up their game a bit more, by showing off some cool stuff on a "limited time" basis. Us 5* players (or long time vets) aren't buying that stuff, because we don't need a thing from 4* land or earlier.... but 3*/4* players may be convinced to bring up their roster a bit more with these "special" stores and vaults.
----
These are just my opinions and views. Maybe I'm wrong... but I'm pretty sure I see Kitty in PvP... I dunno, like EVERY OTHER GAME that isn't Hulk-Okoye, or Apoc-whoever.9 -

Iirc, previous anniversary pve events did not have a pve vault, instead everything was awarded to the anniversary vault, which gave us a descent chance of cleaning out that vault without too much hero point expenditure.
Three days into the anniversary, I feel way behind on this vault than previous anniversaries.I've noticed this as well. Last year and the year before I fully cleared the 100 item vault. I know I bought a 10 pack (or 2) but I easily got 60+ tokens during anniversary.I think I figured it out though. I seem to recall in prior years that all the PvE/PvPs that ran during anniversary gave tokens to the anniversary vault rather than their PvE/PvP vaults. So for instance we just finished Webbed Wonder and we got tokens to that vault rather than anniversary vault so we missed out on at least 10+ tokens depending on how you finished in placement each day/overall. Plus wave nodes gave a vault token instead of a plain heroic etc. This is why we have WAY fewer vault tokens this yearKGB

The Doc Ock node on Webbed Wonder is always a 5k bonus, and under this double-iso, it was still only 5k.The same isin place for the Kalineus node on Strange sights, its normally 3.5k, and I remember the joy of getting 7k for that node under a double iso run.1 -

Bad said:It could be. But remember, we 5* players are invested just until the time that appears that 5* that one can desperately need to champ, one that will make us almost invincibles on pvp. You know, the one for who we are playing and hoarding.Wasp is already there.Pun intented.1

I hope we have another update this Friday. Preferably, it's related to the battle screen UI change. But, I think most would rather hear about feeders. Here's what they said in a recent interview:... However, the player base almost unanimously loved the update and the new filtering features we introduced with the UI update, and as a result it has informed some other changes to other screens that we’re planning, like the pre-battle Team Select Screen...
And these are the future plans:With the success of the UI update to the Roster screen, we’re definitely taking a look at revamping and updating some of the other screens to make them easier to use, more feature rich, and more up to date.Past that, we’ve got several features that we’re looking at introducing to keep the gameplay experience fresh and exciting for players of all skill levels, but most of those are still in the design stages and thus subject to changes. I’d say that things like the battlefield changes in Deadpool’s Nightly Games and the more focused gameplay that it brings are good indicators of ways that we’re looking at to make the game feel interesting outside of more story events and characters, which we’re always doing as well!

To sum up, there will be more UI changes and more interesting board to play with in the coming year. Unfortunately, there's nothing mentioned about feeders. I think if none is announced for anniversary, I will think the next probable date is Shards' Anniversary.1 -
Shards 1st Anniversary comes up in 4 days . We shall see .0
-
Oops, I'm referring to Shardpocalypse Anniversary and it happened in December. I think I would wait until December because that's the month of mass frenzy and mass feedings.
I can't see the exact date on mobile but I think it happened around late December.0 -
The initial feeder update was R192 and that looks to have been announced around mid December, maybe 16th and then rolled out that same week. The subsequent change/upgrade to the feeder rewards was maybe 4 or 5 days after that?

Speaking of feeders though, here is what needs feeding - it seems we have some pretty obvious matches already in game for all but maybe Yelena (who I think would have had Red Guardian if the relewase date hadn't shifted)
4* - 5* feeders
Bishop/Legion – Apocalypse
Cap Worthy – BRB
Red Hulk – iHulk
Polaris – Havok
Venom/Agent Venom/Anti-Venom – Carnage
Domino/DeadpoolXF/Negasonic – Deadpool
Sabretooth/X-23 – SamDak
Kraven – Killmonger
Jean Grey - Mr. Sinister
Juggernaut - Onslaught
(Red Guardian would have been obvious one here) - Yelena
Thanos - Heimdall
