I have these wonderful new toys and chimichangas and cannot actually do anything at all with them right now. If it were a new character that I'd acquired, I could play some PVP to see how the powers work, but I can't play anything right now without messing up my placement rank.I've got this great Rank 2 chimichanga and I can't taste it for another twelve hours. This is cruel. On that vein, they should add back the replayable node in the season screen. They used to have a replayable node (no rewards), but at least it let us try out new characters, and in this case supports. Or just a real sandboxed Danger Room thingy where we can select the characters on both sides so we can experiment with counters without the pressure of placement. No rewards need to be given (would be nice, but I think that'd have to be tied to any task based mission rewards that they should bring to the game), but it let's us goof around and try out new things...

Come on man, its like saying Valkyrie is bad because you have her at 0/0/1 lvl 70. These are useless right now, but we're 2 days in with bug and quality of life changes already on the way. Once you get ranks and levels on them, then come back and see how they are.

Especially when you consider how long it’s been since the last decent-sized change. Gone are the days of introducing changes like champ levels and shield rankings.

Yeah, thats the difference between a game thats 2-3 years old and one thats now almost 5 years old. Those changes were to supplement resource management, something that shifted a lot as the game grew. The game is now sustainable with the long running 4* and 5* release pattern, so they did something different. I still think its too early to judge on how much supports will do. Maybe getting your first full rank support will feel as good as getting your first max covered 4. Maybe they will be applied once and never swapped or leveled. But this isn't supposed to be usable at 1 cover, and reaching the support endgame should take a while.
Demiurge_Will said: pheregas said: @Brigby Since there is some confusion as to which max champ character has a support enabled, would you kindly inquire as to what happens if you sell a character with a support enabled? Does the support go back into inventory, or is it gone for good? It stays in your inventory.

I hit 4K every month, place around the top 7th percentile 250/5k, and the rewards for that are like three heroic tokens. It's a pittance. Putting the tokens here will just give more to the few people who are already gobbling up everything.So yeah, I feel like a fairly average player. Generally top 7-15 percentile, consistent daily play, VIP access and a full champed 3*, fully recruited 4* roster, trying to cover them. There's gotta be a lot of other players like me. In my experience, if the new tokens aren't in the progression rewards for story events, then I can pretty much ignore this feature entirely. The random vault token I pull will likely be less frequent than the rate at which new supports get introduced. Just want to point out that you are currently top 7-15 percentile in your season bracket. There are many brackets per season with varied scores. Top 50 in one bracket might not even be Top 200 in another bracket. I mean yeah, of course there are. I'm saying every month for the last few years I am getting near full PvP progression on the season and still only landing 300ish, around 7th percentile. It's pretty consistent. I'm sure once you get near top 50 you're gonna get heavy variance. The point is that with near full monthlong progression, I'm still well outside the range that is likely to see a single token, cuz all the good rewards start at 50th. So if the tokens aren't in progression, I won't see them, and I'm actually playing a lot. The guys with full champed 4s and 5s will be vacuuming them all up. If you're telling me you can hit top 50 with a progression score in the 6-7k, I'd love to know how you're finding that bracket. If you're saying the people in my bracket hitting top 50 would be even worse off in other brackets, then I imagine you're saying so to reinforce my point. And I'd believe it.

If you can hit 6-7k for the season in less events, try joining the season a couple of events into the season. You miss out on a few events (and their rewards) but those brackets may be easier to place higher for better rewards.
