Calnexin said: I think you're starting with a false premise - that you need to fully level supports. As with all things in this game, you can aim for it if you want, but it's not necessary. Node difficulty has not increased, so anything you get from a support is extra power. The only difference they're going to make is on competition for PvE placement, and since everyone has the same access to resources, the most diligent and/or strategic usage of supports will gain an upper hand. There's no need to flood the resource to max everything, because then we're just right back to the old status quo of the haves and have-mores battling it out with the exact same teams (now with added support!)Just let the things simmer for awhile, and maybe the strategy will actually be interesting. Do you level up all your supports evenly to make the most out of the diversity, or focus all your resources on one to get the biggest bang for the buck on one set of abilities? People will try different things, share strategies and opinions, and we'll all have a little more fun.

My level 4 Wong support is up to 45 and its starting to be very noticeable.

When we got championing and you champed a 3*, what was the first thing you got? A legendary token. Costs 7,500 ISO to champ a 3* and most of us had most of our 3*s at 166 already. How many of us saw our 4* rosters explode with 20-40 new 4* covers straight away as we champed our 3*s? Not to mention knowing out 3* covers weren't just 500 ISO any more.And then later when shield levels showed up. Grandfathered ISO gave me something like 8 million ISO to play with. Immediately I could champ some 4*s i'd been wanting to use. Gave me a huge boost forwards. Felt good to gain EXP that trickled towards another ISO reward, too.What has Supports given us out of the gate? Basically nothing. We've had *no* benefit from this system what-so-ever in the week since it launched. If they removed the whole thing I don't know how long it would take me to even notice.

Take a look at some of the other supports, and let me know if you would make the same statement if you had a rank 4 hail hydra or pizza dog or blackbird...Its like comparing a low covered 5* gambit to 5* doc ock. Are the both occasionally useful? Yes. But which one would you rather RNG bless you with, and which is going to have the longer term noticeable benefit?
