New characters don't even spice that up anymore. They released the Puzzle Gauntlet mode this year. That introduced a new reward structure that finally gave out a access to supports (guaranteed L3 support if you can complete, plus support tokens).They also added boosted 5* for PvE/PvP something that's been long asked for. That could be either a new mode or QoL change depending on your point of view.There has also been a bunch of UI updates too. Not all well received of course but at least we are getting regular UI updates that hopefully give QoL changes.The point is the game is hardly 'just releasing new characters'.KGB

Say what? There is some grumbling about certain nodes in certain months of Puzzle Gauntlet being too random and everyone whines about duplicate supports but overall I would not say it's massive universal negative feedback. In fact I'd say the response was overwhelmingly positive and excited about a new game mode and access to supports.No one said anything bad about boosted 5* in PvE. Boosted 5* PvP on the other hand had a lot of chatter on the Forum more because it wasn't officially announced ahead of time so players would have time to prepare (say a month or so heads up would have been nice since they clearly knew they were going to do or at least try it). Plus players weren't sure if it was temporary or permanent. It's been a long time since anyone's posted anything negative about it beyond the 'I don't have that character'.The UI changes that were the new gameboard and the flashing debacle were universally reviled. But the others that Hound mentioned above (saved teams, better sorting etc) were most definitely met with positives. So UI wise it's been a mixed bag.KGB
JHawkInc said: The expansive 4*/5* roster would be interesting with Heroic events. The problem is that they were removed because they were difficult and not friendly for newer rosters. Not exactly sure of the best way to reimplement them, either as they were or as a new game mode.

All 4*s are or will be used by everyone in the game. Most of them as champ reward bags but still.
