I’m going to Rez this.
I was talking with my new alliance mates, and we would like even to go back to get more 2* supports for certain 3* characters who have no feeders, supporting all of the many, many 4* and 5* characters who have appeared recently.
We’ve got good farms going, sure, but a lot of characters are boosted by shards-only with no way to get more except events and random pulls, which does not a good roster make.
I’d like to see more 2s. I’d rather like to see new characters introduced as 2s or 3s instead of immediately as a 4 or 5. Perhaps when introducing a new 4 or 5, we should simultaneously get that character in a lower 2 or 3. Sunspot comes to mind, I’ve seen an iteration of him as a 5 in these forums but remember him in the early years as more of a 3*. If he were introduced, why not as both at the same time? A 3* Dacosta and a 5* AoA (or a 2* and a 4*). I don’t recall if he was portrayed in AoA, but wherever he’s shown as more powerful than when first introduced.
For the vast majority of the player base, any new 3* or lower character would at best be a distraction, and at worst a waste of valuable resources they desperately need for the current collection.
Any newish players trying to start is already forced to make tough choices to manage their roster limits. More 3* character will just make that worse.
I agree that there is a huge gap in feeders; but adding more characters that will only be used when they are required is not a sustainable solution.
First off all 3* should feed two 4* characters.
After that, what if they each had multiple feeder trees. So as an example 3* Wolverine at level 170 the player is given a choice to go down the Classic path for Sabertooth & 4* Wolverine or an alternative path for let’s say Puck & Legion.
