    Are the fights in the new character Shield Training events meant to be winnable by everyone or are they meant to be gated to certain roster levels?

    With character ascensions a thing now, will 1* Venom's Devour power reverted to its original form?

    Why are there still limited characters? You made it obvious that you can change them with the 1-Star Yelena.

    With Affiliations now becoming possible Milestone quests can we expect them to be upgraded to characters who are missing them? For example Namor and Silver Surfer not being Defenders and Thunderbolts seem all over the place. Many thanks!!!

    Now roster slots are "common" in vaults and many have dozens or more unused slots, are there any plans to give us alternate uses for them?
    For exemple, things like giving us the ability to sell unused slots, or to use them to send more than 5 teamup

    When a node is finished in PvE, what is the point that the timer starts? A) After the final hit? B ) After pressing Continue? C) When you navigate back to the main screen? Or D) something else?

    God boosts brought variety to the game. Now we have ascended they seem to do the opposite. We have far more characters to use, do you think the game still needs it? I feel if it was removed there would be far more variety.

    Given that y’all have this here official forum, why are you using Google Docs (that require a log-in with a Google Account I neither have nor want to have) to collect feedback like these monthly Q’n’As and Classic Legends votes?

    The new 4-star Dr. Doom mentioned "feedback damage." Is it the same as Thanos's Court Death where his allies take "penalty damage" when downing an enemy? What is feedback damage? Will there be a distinction between such terms?

    For those in the blank, this is with regards to the newly released variant and his power Technomagical Mastery, which deals direct damage, plus 25% boost for each Supernatural or Technologist ally on your team. These allies will also take some damage, but they can be reduced by protect tiles. Compare this to Thanos's Court Death where, after you down an enemy, Death's presence deals damages to everyone in the battle (except for Thanos), with his enemies getting a bit more than the allies. Unlike Technomagical Mastery, Court Death's damage cannot be reduced, hence why I call his power as dealing penalty damage. What I'm basically asking is will there be a distinction between moves that deal damage to your allies as part of its power but can be reduced, or even negated, by protect tiles, trap tiles, or other special means.

    I'm curious how you choose the supports offered for the pick 3 reward for alliance events, and if there's a planned rotation? Helps me to know where to target my red Iso

    I may not be understanding how the odds work specifically here, but have you considered increasing the "debut" odds for 3* characters as the tier gets larger and larger? I feel like I'm drawing roughly the same amount when they come but getting less of them because of dilution in the tier.

    Can you add timers to both the Latest Legends and Support stores?

    Can you please add other language support on Search box? Some of Affiliations are translate in other country language. (ex - Champions , fantastic four , Xmen , etc... ) so type in english, search box doesn't work... can't find anything. If type in other country language, serchbox is blank. Literally can't type anything except eng or esp.... so... could you pls add other language on search box or just remove translate stuff?

    Like the Character Vote and Costume Vote, is it possible to one day do a Support vote? Maybe even have the vote be for specific affiliations instead of set items. It would be neat if players were able to choose what affiliation got a new support.

    I'm still having trouble understanding how the budget for 5* powers works. Could you show how say, sebastian shaw or angela would look if they had been released as 5s? Or even a 3 like May or Magik. How their ability numbers would be?
