    Yeah, not a fan of the new characters being locked behind the KoK pass. Not that is expensive, still will be a bummer for a lot of free-to-play folks. I do commend tho the effort on putting better rewards on the KoK Prize Wall, cause a lot of seasoned players have enough of every single token being offered there.

  • Firstly the Champions Team has forgotten why the Faction Invasion was withdrawn .

    This new energy system for SD is just for looting the players . Looks like Scopely cannot resist anything being F2P .

    Before bringing such unavailing energy system for SD , please fix the energy regeneration problem in Champions Portal . Every time the Portal is opened , the regeneration timer resets i.e. back to 8 hrs .

    I think this nails everything. It could be a really cool switch but I have a LOT of concerns.

    im willing to give it a shot but energy system things rarely work out and keep ppl engaged. Sd was already a mode most ppl only did when it was the week events..

    on top of that we get 6 new icons that are locked behind a paywall idk how making someone pay to be better at a mode is fair but ok. On top of that icon tokens are so hard to come by most top players are still trying to get tokens for ppl we had we get at most 1-3 a day sometimes your lucky and get 10 but rare.

    i myself have 9 5sg promoters right now and only 45 gold tokens left if your going to bing even more ppl in I think we need a way to get more icon tokens a day the way it is now it takes 2 weeks about to take One icon from 5ss to 5sg if u had 0 tokens.

    like I said I don’t love all this but willing to give it a shot maybe I’m totally wrong and it won’t be so bad but these are a few of my thoughts as of now

    Or Plan B:

    Wait until the first actual Showdown Tournament goes live with all the changes. Then you see the full potential of every improvement and how it affects/benefits you in the end. :)

    I am one to try things out before immediately saying that something is dumb anything like that. I have no issues with the new promoters being behind KOK as long as there isn't a coin component in competitions. I agree with most of 2bob’s other comments. If we can get some clarity on those issues, that would be great.

    I am in the player group that has always had to work twice or thrice as hard as other players to achieve what I want in showdown events.

    If everyone is on the same playing field of having the same number of matches per day, or a few extra matches with pay-per-play, I have to assume that I will fall behind because I can no longer put in the extra work to achieve what comes so easily to other players.

    That's the basic math that's easy to do when I hear the words "energy system" - I don't need to play the mode to understand that.

    Absolutely terrible idea to lock the promoters behind a pay wall. Only way to make it somewhat fair is if you increase the number of coins you can get each from the KOK tour.

    Locked promoters behind paywall?Any interest I had in the updated SD is now gone.

    Replying for awareness about the Web portal because yeah, with that current bug you can now only get 2 Energies tops a day.

    Colour me shocked - it blows.

    Energy system - badly implemented

    Limiting superstar types that can be used - nonsensical, assume this will eventually be used in contests etc?

    Matchmaking - possible this will sort itself as more games are played, but as stated above, you should NOT be getting matched up against teams with nearly double your talent.

    Probably a waste of time to ask, but was any of this tested before launch?

  • Wait years to update showdown,ruin it and no doubt the weekend showdown event by having terrible reload times for energy UNLESS people spend cash. Bullshit scopely at it's finest

    i now can NOT even choose my own combination of a team, i am forced to have the same style wrestlers to compete against the "same style" opponents for a week? PLUS i'm now required to pay 10 dollars in order to keep playing matches or wait 3 hours? monetizing on bottle energy, are you ******* serious? this might be the main reason i stop playing or buy anything else... stupid decisions like this. oh HELL NO.

    i want to any superstar like old showdown

  • The new showdown is just a garbage game. Why is it getting worse and worse? It's really puzzling. Cancel the energy. Thank you

    please give us more energy or shorten the time to regenerate. and color pairings are unfair to tags links

    Tbh I don't like that i cannot set up any superstar for defense/attack

    Sucks that i have to use a specific kind of superstars to play the sd. Killing the fun

    Wonder if there will be any sd event, how it would work considering the limit on energy system.

    Sad that new promoters are behind a pay wall.


    On the other side is great to have some shards for Superstars like shelton Benjamin (acro) on sd store.

  • So Champions is now turning into candy crush? Purchase energy to move further? I really thought you guys were better than this! We give enough with all the passes and subscriptions.
