Stated before, players will ask. So might as well, ask again. How about players with ascended X-23, will retro be given ?
I know the player base with ascended is small, but kinda blows using the ascend feature and lose out on a nearly covered 5*. In my case, I ascended X-23 and still have another copy as a 4* ... like how ? Just apply rewards to the 4* and not use ascension ?
I completely disagree, it has been stated it was a one time exception what happened with Nico and hunter. I would be pretty annoyed if they go back on this once again.
I’m glad I ascended X-23. I already have several covers for a new 4*, and between the 200 - 300 LTs & 1400 CPs I’ll have next month (more if the next batch of ascension arrives), I should have her championed by March, April at the latest.

I'm not pretty annoyed at the loss of 12 covers. I'm honest-to-goodness angry. She was the boosted 4-star in a PVE not two months ago!!!! That's the only reason I ascended her. She's not a great character and I knew that the chance of me ever using her again was unlikely, but I figured, "Hey, she already feeds 5* Daken, whom no one else feeds and there's no one really good to feed, so they won't change her."
Wow, what a mistake that was! So basically, here's the rule, ascend a character only if:
Otherwise you really should give the whole system a miss. Would it be fun to try a new combination? Too bad, it's far too risky, don't do it. Ignore the whole thing, the possibility of losing out on future rewards (big future rewards,) is too great.
Now who had "angry because I've ascended and want to have what everyone else gets" on their mpq bingo card? I knew this was coming weeks ago and I've stocked up popcorn ready for this armageddon. I'm gonna enjoy this

Once it happened with Nico, I knew this was coming.

I would argue that if you have several ascended 4 stars you are miles ahead of the vast majority of the players and just because you don't get a cover isn't going to cause catastrophic game ruining shenanigans However I'm also aware that everyone on the Internet is right and anyone else who disagrees is an absolute tool. And people wonder why I've slipped into the shadows of late.
Wow, what a mistake that was! So basically, here's the rule, ascend a character only if: they feed a 5* version of that character you are certain you're going to use them in the future, and probably use them often (e.g. Coulson, Nico.) Otherwise you really should give the whole system a miss. Would it be fun to try a new combination? Too bad, it's far too risky, don't do it. Ignore the whole thing, the possibility of losing out on future rewards (big future rewards,) is too great.
There another solution, have 3 copies of maxed champed before ascending. That way at a minimum you would get 6 retro rewards if changed like this.
I really, really thought she was safe to ascend. I hate this game sometimes.

We'll come back in 15 years and see how well everyone is doing trying to make this a thing lol
I'm gonna be bummed if my ascended X-23 doesn't feed the new one, but I'll somehow get over it. This is not incentivizing ascending folks...
Although in this case, folks may have Ascended X23 since she was a feeder for Samurai Daken.
This no retro feeders for Ascended is maddening because it discourages players from advancing their rosters. And if a feeder is changed, then you still don't get the retro rewards other players do, then when can you safely Ascend anyone?
Would it impact you in any meaningful way if they did?
I would love to be able to ascend Rocket but with these shenanigans it’s not going to happen until he’s feeding a five. Same with Red Hulk. As others have said, it’s strange to disincentivize a major game feature like this.

Considering they made it clear before ascension started that they wouldn’t give retro rewards for any ascended characters that gave everyone out there the choice of what to do with the character once you get to that point. You made that choice knowing the consequences so deal with it.

Do you think it was fair for them to award player 12 covers of hunter regardless on level of the 2nd Nico? Maybe you want another 12 covers for x-23?
I saw so many ascended nico players complaining about that compensation.sarcasm
Here is a solution maybe get rid of all retro rewards completely.
You knew the rules and you made your choice, deal with it. I would love to join in with ascended Grocket but a feeder is more important to me.
Quite why anyone would ascend X23 because she was featured in pve is beyond my levels of what I consider fun in this game.

I wouldn’t make a stink since the last was a “one time exception” but surely you can appreciate that if a character already was feeding a 5* this is a situation one might not consider while button mashing?
The rule is stupid, I’m hoping that isn’t too harsh for the delicate nature of the conversation. However, removing rewards from people who spent many years to earn them and then chose to implement your new “Roster building” feature makes absolutely no sense.
I can see it make sense as far as “We haven’t figured out a good way to have it implemented and don’t wish to or can’t afford to invest in figuring one out.”
This entirely ignores the fact that anyone with an ascended character is entitled to a minimum of 6 covers. That can be easily implemented and it just makes zero sense to do it any other way.

No because I've seen them time and time again change the direction of the feeder for the 5* to make more sense. This is not the first time and feeder path has been changed and it won't be the last. Sure I wish they were all set in stone but people kept complaining about character A not being the right feeder for Character B.
This game has never rewarded jumping in. Hoarding and waiting always pay off. Even my thousands and thousands of standard tokens paid off in the end! Same for support tokens, CP, LT and so on.
I agree the implementation isn't ideal but the position was still stated on day 1.
