Hello! Thank you, guys, for sharing your thoughts with us. I won't say that your comments do not sting, but at the same time, we do realize that you provide us with constructive criticism and reacting properly to things like that is the way to success.
First of all, I would like to say that most of the things that you have mentioned in this thread as something you would like to see implemented in the game (Vault and Artifacts storage improvements, champions re-balance, Faction Wars rework, new events and tournaments, and many others) are going to appear in the game with 1.12 release, which is very close and we keep fingers crossed that everything goes as planned and we get it out very-very soon. We are also working actively on the future releases, the roadmap is still on, of course.
Secondly, the current Fusion is intended to be very hardcore, we thought we would give a real challenge to avid champions collectors, that's why we recommended assessing your resources and the time that you can spend on the game before deciding whether or not you would like to go for the ultimate reward. There will be more fusions, of course, with various kinds of accompanying in-game events.
I would also like to assure you that the existing counterattack meta in the game is going to be balanced with new mechanics (Skills, bonuses, etc.), so not having a CA champion on your team will not hurt that much anymore.
We will keep buffing the champions that have been underperforming and adjusting the champs that break the intended game balance in one or several areas in the game.
Last but not least, guys, we do read absolutely all of your comments and we are trying hard to make you happy with our game. We will keep working on improvements in all areas and we do hope that you will be able to see them live in the game in the nearest future.
Yes, listening to your players IS the way to success!
For update 1.12, you promise all of these changes, and I do not doubt that you will implement them. But it would be so much better if updates could have some kind of ETA. Not even a specific date, just say something like "update 1.12 will occur in December of 2019." And then actually do the update in December 2019.
The current fusion is purely Pay-to-win. Do not try to make it sound otherwise. I think it is okay to have some fusions that require spending money, but at least 50% of fusions should be more free-to-play-friendly. And when you release a P2W fusion, do not try to make it sound like it isn't P2W. Just say "this fusion will likely require in-game-purchases to complete" or something.
This will-- 1- make you look less like you are trying to disguise your attempts to bring in cash as fun events for everyone.
And 2-- the events that you do say are free-to-play WILL ACTUALLY BE FREE-TO-PLAY. So you will stop looking like sharks lol...
Counterattack could use a SMALL nerf, but it must be SMALL. DO NOT do what you did with Steel Bowyer and nerf it into oblivion. Players who have put resources into building counter-attack champions will be insanely mad and-- rightfully!-- blow up your forum! So KEEP IT SMALL. Give a few epics that are harder to get-- like void epics-- a move that removes one buff from each enemy. Nerf counter-attack any more and you'll likely end up getting swarmed by an even larger mob of angry players... lol
DO NOT NERF TOP TIER CHAMPIONS! Players will get very VERY mad.
However, there are many champions in dire need of buffs (*cough* Ma'shalled *cough* Warchief *cough* Shamrock *cough* Bloodgorged) That you really should not overlook.
RSL needs some buffs to MANY champions. Do not just pick like 4 champs and say you will buff the rest in 1.13. You are losing so many players because you do not listen! BUFF ALL CHAMPIONS THAT NEED THEM! STOP ADDING NEW CHAMPS UNTIL EXISTING CHAMPS ARE BALANCED!
And pleeasse, cut it out with the reskins!
I hope you keep your eyes open for all player comments and make it known that you are listening to our requests. You should do this by actually making in-game changes in a reasonable amount of time, instead of just SAYING that you are listening.
All due respect--
