It's an odd dichotomy and I'd love to see the metrics, but most of the spenders I know want nothing to do with these things. They make virtually no difference in the game for 5* rosters. Some supports actually slow you down in PVE, so they are in fact UNdesirable.They seem catered toward smaller rosters--folks who likely aren't spending, which appears to be the only way to get these things (if someone actually wanted them).I dunno, I suspect at some point things will (have to) change. The devs seem to think they are extremely valuable while the playerbase is very meh over them.

Twysta said: Yeah the way they've rolled out supports has been terrible.If they really want players to try them out and have a more positive vibe about them they need to either make them a lot more readily available so that people CAN actually use them, or possibly do a quick test run where everyone gets a bunch of supports all at max level for a limited period of time so that they can see the potential benefits they can bring.With the slow trickle that they're releasing supports, their limited availability and the ridiculous overvalued cost of even trying to get tokens; have made them completely undesirable and as you can clearly see, no one even cares about them anymore.
Steve111 said: Personally I can’t see why supports are given priority over character rebalances & 4* feeders (both of which which really help the game have more meaning) other than an attempt to make profit from the paywall. There isn’t enough red iso around for them to matter. The only really desirable support, the infinity gems, go to about 0.0001% of the players.

Part of what's disappointing about Supports is that it feels like such a missed opportunity. If Supports weren't so character-specific, they could add a new layer of meta and at minimum enhance character selection options in PVE. Or, being character-specific, they could function as a form of rebalance for characters who are significantly behind. Spidey isn't nearly as powerful as Gambit, of course, but it still seems silly that he has a specific Support built just for him (Web Shooters) given that he is fairly decent on his own.Meanwhile, a Support that makes Banner more powerful in some way — and only Banner — could've served as a (poor) replacement for an actual rebalance.
HoundofShadow said: I heard that a lot of players don't like 7 day story events. I personally like 7 day story events.The odds of getting Hulkling is 1+3/(26+3)= 4/29 = 13.8% It's slightly lesser than the rate of pulling 5*. It seems like they have stabilized the offerings for support now. There's no change(except token and character cover) in the content of the vault and H4H offers. I like the healing perks. Is it going to be true heal or temporary heal?
Jaedenkaal said: Hah. Hey guys, we rebalanced 5* Banner... and there’s now a 15% chance that you can get this rebalance every time you buy a bunch of support requests? Oh, also, you’ll need to spend more Red ISO than you’ve ever actually seen in your life...

If not, that's disappointing. Don't worry. Being a Support doesn't mean that they're automatically excluded from ever being a character Does that mean there's a chance than current characters have a chance at becoming supports?In fact I'd appreciate if I could attach my 1*'s to someone as a support.At least then they'd have something to do.
