This is going to go for exactly one event, then the poopstorm will be bigger than the one from shardsgate

Boosted 5s are AMAZING. they are literally the best thing that's happened to PVP.
Honestly, I'll wait to see how this works. at least the opponent can't get AP bonus at the start as well, so.... we'll see.

They've said that supports will be on defensive teams, and there's a screenshot in the post of supports on defensive teams. The AI will be starting off with free AP.

does this meant a new engine is coming soon?
more chances for 5 star supports?

Whoever thought this was a good idea for PVP is in for a rude awakening. Experimentation is fine, so long as there is adequate response when feedback is given. Waiting for an entire season, or likely longer, until adjustments are made is just adding insult to injury
The Supports with free AP will wreak havoc across the PVP landscape. Were there any serious inputs solicited from the player base? Because the writing is on the wall for this one

Disliked PvP before supports and didn't play it much, will be playing it even less. Will be very unhappy if they end up nerfing/destroying supports for PvE due to PvP.

One concern I come back to is that supports add more RNG to the matches. Even the best supports that give AP only do so about 3/4 of the time at most. So you could mirror supports and characters and miss getting AP, but about 3/4 of the time you miss the AP, the AI would get it and be able to use their power against you.
I don't look forward to losing because my support didn't give me AP while the AI's did.

It's not only the free AP, but the abrupt losses that will create confusion and distress among players. More wipes & more health packs without a clear understanding of why creates a bad experience. Very, very bad experience

I’ll be taking a break next season, then.

I'm happy for that rebalanced banner.

I think this is a terrible decision, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
I wonder what the knock-on effect will be for PvE when they start to rebalance some of the widely used supports.

so intersting how negative people think it will be, but forgetting how powerful we may be instead.
there's some supports where you can win on turn zero (along with AP boosts). that means PVP will be insanely quick.
I'm cautiously waiting to see. i don't think it'll be better, I'm not 100% sure it'll be worse.

So...I guess that lv550 Aunt May just increased in viability.

Not really sure what to think. I do appreciate that it will probably speed up matches, but with turn 0 kills being a thing in PvE, I don't think a lot of players will be happy losing matches within the first or second turn with increased frequency.
The dev team should consider having two or three types of supports:
PvP exclusive: for example Refreshment Cart
PvE exclusive: for example Atlantis
Universal: for example Kamar-TajI guess a general rule of thumb would be to keep AP generating supports PvE exclusive and supports that aren't very meaningful for PvE PvP exclusive.

Looking forward to the next season. It’s going to be like the Wild West!

Man I don't even know what most Supports do...

They got ***** running MPQ apparently. What a terrible idea. Feel like the end of an era.
Mod edit: removed political reference.

This is a bad idea.
Perhaps you should test out a few bonus PVP+supports events first to see how things work out and how many people actually want to step into this nightmare before inflicting them on the normal cycle?
