First, synchronizing all servers so seasons start and end at the same time is a great decision. It will help community discussion, guides, and content creation.
Since this update is planned for April 7, there is still time to fine-tune the system for international servers.
1 - Main issue: Skipping Season 5
Many players will move directly from S4 to S6, skipping S5.
This is problematic because S5 introduced key legendary support exclusives, such as Scarr and Mashtur.
Support legendaries are already among the hardest heroes to obtain. If S5 is skipped, they will simply be diluted into the larger S6 pool, making them extremely difficult to get.
2 - Banner concerns
Previously, players could see the seasonal banner schedule in advance, allowing us to plan our summons.
The new 800-pull banner only allows choosing among old exclusives, while seasonal heroes from skipped seasons become harder to target.
Previously: 2 banners = 540 pulls ≈ 2 exclusives
Now: 2 exclusives ≈ 800 pulls
This creates the impression that the value for players has significantly decreased.
3 - Suggestion
• Add a Season 5 catch-up banner
• Introduce targeted banners for skipped seasonal heroes
This would make the transition to synchronized seasons much smoother.
Curious to hear what other S4/S5 players think.
Long live Dragonheir!
