OK, yeah, I admit I’m biased due to already having Kitty champed. Rescue is in the best position for me to finish with a Feeder, but I like Hela better. Of the current Latests, Iceman is really falling behind, and I kind of doubt I’ll get him fully covered without a Feeder or some really impressive luck.
I don’t even care anymore.
I’d just like to know the reasoning for slowing down the feeder releases THIS much.
Did someone decide that 5* feeders were a bad idea in the first place, so they’re trying to kill them alltogether?
Communication sure would be nice on that issue, but who am I kidding.
You can’t say “dilution is bad”, then slow down the one thing you have working against dilution to a crawl.
Well, you CAN, obviously, but it doesn’t make you look good.
They need to sort the feeders out for all 5s at this point. There are that many 5s now that feeders really should be already assigned when a new 5* is released. So what if it means a good number of people get a free cover? It’s like SHIELD Training, it won’t be available to everyone as they won’t have the relevant 4* sufficiently covered.
Furthermore, if some people did received multiple 5s as feeder rewards, shouldn’t it be like a thank you to players for being committed to the game and developing a strong roster, not to mention allowing more people to try out the dev’s shiny new 5? They need to stop worrying about being “too generous” to players at this point. If you get a feeder reward, then you’ve earned it. The super whales will always be at the top of the pile, so why not cut the rest of us a bit of slack?
I thought they already communicated that they think that they released feeders too fast and they will be released on special events.
There are 37 5* and 11 don’t have feeders. 26 have feeders.
Feeders were introduced on 20 Nov 2017. That’s about 102 weeks or 23.5 months.
The rate of feeders is now 26/23.5 = 1.106 feeders per month.
Could it be that they are aiming for 1 feeder every 1.5-2 months?
Even if all 5* have feeders right now, I and many other mid- 4* players will not benefit from this immediately. The only group who benefit are those deep in 5* land, who are in the minority.
Let’d be honest. What happens if the devs say that Spiderman 2099 will be the feeder for Doctor Doom tomorrow? I bet a lot of you will be pissed off instead of being happy.
One of the devs or mods already mentioned that more details will be coming tomorrow. Besides, they already briefed the players here in advance that they are tied up with events and even Marvel has to take a step back. Also, communication in the forum is way down on the priority list.
Why not wait for tomorrow before concluding that there are no feeders for this anniversary?
I was torn between Hela and Rescue, either one is probably feeder-finishable on my roster in the same amount of time since I’d need to get whoever it is to 300 to do it. I like them both, but I think Hela is a little more interesting, even if Rescue is likely to play better with my current crop of 5*s.
I actually think new 4s launching as feeders is the move here if the concern is controlling the flow of fed covers to the player base. That way everyone is starting off on the correct foot (ie square 0) when one is announced. It would be great if a Latest 5 drops into Classic, then some 4* released after them came out as their feeder. Now everyone who wants to has to chase that 4*, which is harder to get on purpose than the 5* would have been while in latest, and it seems to me that balance is restored somewhat on the accessibility vs scarcity seesaw?
the lack of any solution to dilution in any * tier,
the release of new 5s significantly outpacing the introduction of new 5 feeders, and
the increased number of new 4s that are either disruptive to the 5 meta or let 4* teams “punch above their weight” (Cap Worthy, Bishop, Sabretooth, Juggy)
that the devs true solution to the 4*-5* transition is not to make it faster but to give everyone more reasons not to make it in the first place.
I’m not sure how I feel about this, as part of me wants the progression of getting my first 5* champed, but part of me hears the stories from those already there and thinks I will enjoy the game less if/once I get there due to all the issues mentioned in many other threads.
But I still can’t help but to want more (human condition I suppose) so I picked Kitty because as both a PvE and PvP player she seems the best to be my first (Okoye a close second). And if the devs want to see some real fun (note: sarcasm), make her feeder either Bishop or Cap Worthy, not because it makes any sense other than them being interesting partners for her and Grocket that don’t already feed someone else.
All of those listed that are worth having, I have champed already except Gambit (who is in no position to be finished by a feeder). RNG hasn’t been great to me with ProfX and my pull rate is getting lackluster…so, I would like to see him get a feeder before leaving latest so I might get to finish him.
