The commentators announced it at the beginning of the Masters stream. At first it looked like they were trying to salvage the system by cutting the stats in half but with how much backlash it was still getting it seems they decided to just nuke it altogether from PvP
Ig one can argue what's the point of the system since PvE contents are pretty much solved already. But I'm not against easier times in modes I usually AFK anyways.
So all in all, I have to give props to them for responding quickly before the trucks coming in, I guess they were traumatised from last time 😂
Still, I just wish SG would stop making clearly stupid decisions like this that would obviously create massive backlash. They have tons of high rank players partnering with them like Valky, hell they can even ask top rank streamers or CCs for feedback and give them some resources as thanks before making features that fundamentally change the game.
The way they handle things sometimes makes me question if the devs actually even play the game at all. What do you mean "minimum impact" when it literally gave you stats equal to another slot of gear lol
Ok, rant time Ah yes "minimal impact on RTA" they said...
Folks, I might have to sit back and re-assest the game for a while. Because this almost never ends well from my experience
I've seen a lot of gacha games doing what I call "stats modifying feature" and it almost always kills the game I played
I think the worst offenders example of this are "Walking Dead RTS" and "Seven Knights"
You see, it wouldn't be a problem if the feature is available since the game came out since everything would play around that feature in mindset. The problem came from the fact it was released years after the game was established. It breaks the delicate whatever balance the game is hanging on and shatters everything people do for years
Tho E7 isn't this bad (and I hope it won't). Let's go back to the extreme example of WD:RTS I played. They basically introduced super juiced up new tier units after years and some old units can have "Specialty Change" so to speak into said tier. They got so much raw stats, for months their kits actually don't matter since they straight up one-shot every old unit with their basic attacks lol
It made years of collecting units actually useless because they are straight up unplayable in the face of "super juiced" units and once enough of them came out, nobody would even touch those old units anymore and everyone would only run "super juiced" units to have a level playing field
Going back to things we have on hand, when you have 25 super units. How do you play RTA? Do you put counter picks there to try to contest stats against meta picks? Or do you put meta units and turn it into who can pick "super juiced" meta units first? It's a stupid system no matter which angle you see it from
Not to mention how a player unlocked this feature either. Vets of this game have proven time and time again we can reach semi-high level RTA with only a few months old account. That's what I love about this game, even though it's broken af, with enough brain power you can still achieve high levels despite all the gaps.
With this thing around tho, how long does it take for you to reach that since you are basically up against super units with none at your side for newbies. And whales with infinite energy will have a roster of 25 super units in no time against F2P and casuals who only have 10 for months or even years
Everything about this is flawed, I haven't even touched on the matter of GW and Arena where you might have to switch everything on each attack just to have a level playing field.
This is why the "truck" happened a few years back. It wasn't the new kits that scared the players, it's the stats. And with how many games that self-destruct with this feature, it was justified. I don't know what's with Gachas and their bright ideas of introducing the "stat modifying" feature to make "super units" after years of delicate balance. A lot of games have died to this feature and somehow they still haven't learned
I'm afraid I'll have to turn this into my side game and retire from RTA completely if this is even half as bad as it looks because there's just straight up no room for creativity when it comes to these things
Credit to the mouse goat 'KingsSeven' for the pics. I thought the feature was fine until I saw it modified the base stats and gave 500-700 free atk lol
I'm taking a break and will try again in 2 seasons. Every single game where I drafted perfectly, 15% screwed me over.
I even reset my unit with over 200% eff to S3 twice this game. All I needed was 1 strip on Diene's immortality and got 15% twice...
I'm just malding to RNG at this point. Winning for +3 and losing for -10 on a perfect draft because 15% makes it actually impossible to climb on top of real loss because you can't win every draft.
I'll go back to the drawing board, I think my draft is a bit too honest. That kind of thing just doesn't fly well in this game. I either need to play more into the RNG side of the game or straight up play units that erase RNG
Failing to get Diene and Elbris not fitting well into my drafts really hurts this season, playing competitively without 2 new ML5 is rough. I'll polish and upgrade my units and secret weapons for now and we'll try again for Legend next time
Some PSA, I might not post as much for the remainder of the season now that I hit 3K.
I tried to fool around as much as possible with non-meta units for fun showcases when I was lower but I don't think I can do that anymore.
Winning aside, I can still pull it off, but it's just so risky, each win is plus 3-6 and each loss is minus 7-13 this high up.
Which means to climb I have to win around 3-4 games for every time I lose just to get said point back and I really want to try to shoot for Legend this season. i just need to get it once and I can retire from playing this hellhole competitively lol
While my main teams got some sprinkles of non-meta units, I already showcased it. And I can only show the same thing so many times before it gets stale.
So with that said, you will see me less until the season ends, I'll post some clips if I come across some fun matches, cheers!
Gonna take Cavel in the upcoming Headhunt and I'll finally have the Zio Exodia
I really want Riolet too since I have a tech in mind and he's the only one with a kit that fits the bill, but I guess that'll have to wait for another time
On another note, I've done plenty of testing on my drafts this pre-season. I'm going to fine tune my stats for next season. So, you might not see me for 1-2 weeks or maybe until I get Cavel from the HH event lol
Gonna try for Legend this time round, the meta looks promising to me as long as it doesn't shift too much
Ever since OW and this set came out I haven't touched Rift and other hunts once, not damn once!
My account had almost 0 progress in terms of gear for almost 1 season because reversal is a 🐕 set and riposte only has like 3 legit users, Flan, Fern and Setsuka. Setsuka is one thing and I only have 1 Flan which I built as cleave/aggro toy, but I had to brick my account with 0 progress for a whole season to build Fern 😂
I was originally going for Atk% neck so I can just blow up Setsukas and have beeg barrier, but whatever. I don't want to touch this thing no more.
I keep seeing Fern angles in my games and it actually pissed me off that I don't have her built, so I just kept grinding this OW for her lol
I swear I was going to chill on Warlord this season...WTF!
My RTA addiction kicked in 💀
I'm still lost on my pre-bans this season, Scale is perma banned for me, that's for sure, but for the second one I can't decide between Arunka, Ely, and Maid.
It's not that I can't deal with them, but my answers to certain meta units are stopped by them. Like Lilibet into Ras became unusable against Ely, etc.
Right now I just rotate my pre-bans around those 3 depending on my mood, but I feel like I need to settle on a solid one soon especially with the upcoming Fern and another new ML5 that might shake up the meta next month
We achieved Warlord for this season! Now we sleep and go back to grinding for Legend run in the future 🗿
So far the meta isn't that bad, I'd say it's pretty easy as long as you know what you are doing. Tho I'm pretty sure Seggsuka and Ras-sama will shake the meta again soon.
Here's a sneak peek on what I'm missing and my speed situation (that's right we went up +6 speed!)
Well, if you have any questions about anything related to the game feel free to shoot here or not 👀

Ok, not bad. I think I got my Zio drafts down. That's plenty of testing lol
Feels pretty comfortable to play into most things after I got most of my new follow-ups built
15% still screwed me sometimes, but it is what it is. Just need to build 3 more follow-ups that I have in mind and I think I'm set for next season
