Orphaned heroes with no costumes - The case for Not in their priorities to be done

[Shohoku79]

Aside from being outdated and that it is not in their priorities (economically) to be done, why do some of the seasonal/event heroes still not have a costume, even when their equivalent counterparts in the same season/event that were released around the same time have them already (and even some of those are considered outdated too)?

Season 2 - Gato, Namahage, Chochin, Muggy
Season 3 - Agnes, Sudri, An-Windr, Grevle, Jarvur, By-Ulf, Brynhild, Mist, Jott, Shadeweave, Mireweave, Stonecleave
Challenge Event - Boomer, Guardian Falcon, Boomer, Captain Kestrel, Captain of Diamonds, King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Vlad, Jack, Valeria, Gretel, Guardian Bat, Pixie, Treevil, Vodnik, Sally, Guardian Lemur, Gnomer, Phoenicus Shrubbear, Bauchan
Three Kingdoms - Xiahou Dun, Sun Xiang Shang

I know I missed a bunch, but you get the general idea, over the years some did get "remembered" see Lady Locke, Sargasso, Peters, Oceanus, Tethys, but the ones here continue to get the proverbial shaft but their colleagues in the same release have long gotten their C1 at the very least.

It's probably not going to be a very popular question in one of those AMA sessions, but would really like to see these "orphaned" heroes get suited up that were long overdue.

I would like to see a costume on some of them. Just because they deserve it and it would bring them back to the table (although I play some of them even without costume lile Grevle or Guardian Bat).

But instead we see the 5th costume for classic heroes, what is absolutely ecaggerated in my point of view.

If I remember seeing this correctly, come Springvale Squire Wabbit (the very oldest event 3*) is getting suited up, some of the later arrivals like Chick Jr., Lady Woolerton and Sir Roosterly might too.  So I am holding a glimmer of hope that some of the ones here may too, one day be remembered, and maybe inserted with some of the more modern abilities to make some drawing in these portals feel a tad more exciting.

They keep pushing the S1 costumes because everybody has S1 heroes and feel the need for the costumes. Thus, income.

My issue with costumes in general is I have lots of costumed heroes sitting at 1/1. Especially the rares and epics.

I've always been curious whether the developers ever play the same game as we because some of their actions and decisions just don't seem to make sense (see their actions towards the roster scrolling that occurs between Stronghold and Dragonspire).  If they did, they should know by now how much we dislike vanilla heroes, or rather how vanilla heroes without any augmentation (e.g. costumes) are still used as the primary (if not only) source of fillers in summoning portals.  Would it hurt so much to "vanilla" at least the S2/S3 heroes?

Part of me always wondered if they were trying to do some kind of reverse psychology thing and want us to despise S1 heroes so much, by leaving them lodged inside the portals so we would try to shell out the $ to try to get non vanilla heroes.   Yet, the baffling thing is that they kept souping up the S1 heroes by giving them costumes.

Season 5 heros kinda got the love when costumes come out for them. 

The rest seasons didn't, not sure why the lower ones haven't got a costume. The mention above could be why.  Maybe waiting  to give and balance them season heros  across the platform. 

Kinda agree on season 1 yup there not good anymore here costumes... Toon version I thought was the most annoying.. didn't really see  much reflect version..

Season 4 is actually complete too, all 3* - 5* have C1.

Head-scratcher for me, if not too obvious

Hansel got a costume, but Gretel didn't.
G. Jackal got a costume, but G. Falcon didn't.
Cheshire Cat got a costume, but Capt. of Diamonds didn't.
Merlin got a costume, but Sir Lancelot didn't.
Guinevere got a costume, but King Arthur didn't.
Bjorn got a costume, but Agnes didn't.

Season 2 4* and 5* have C1, was only missing costumes for Gato, Chochin, Namahage, and Muggy, but their co-workers Melia, Mnesseus and GIl-Ra have C1. 

These are all heroes that were released along the same time.

There were efforts for the devs to "catch up" evidence being that costumes to complete the costumes for 4* Atlantis and even Gil-Ra the 3* (circa 2023-2024), but they just keep bypassing the lonely 4 for S2.

Season 3 has more missing on both Rares and Epics.

S5 costumes also got passives which does make them better then rest of the seasons.

I wondering if sgg halted on bringing other costumes out for other seasons due to S5 getting more better costumes.

Maybe once UT2 heros are all costumed and finished.. maybe circle back round to S2,3,4 give a passive to costumes and bring out the costumes for the ones who haven't got one yet. ....
