Event tickets are awful

Totally agree. At least make it so you don’t waste tickets when you lose, as suggested above. The wasted tickets is by far the worst game experience/mechanic they have implemented imo.

Losing is bad enough, but I had a battle (tier 3 60 tickets) freeze on entry and lost an entire day.

I'm about to finally experience this as soon as Finalizer event comes back. Yay

The solution, which is too expensive, would be to make more tiers but have the costs be one time.
You spend your 15 ln tier 1, and that unlocks it permanently. Even if you lose, you can play it until rewards are unlocked.
Make 10 or so tiers for the event and have the final tier cost 140 tickets.

Clearly a cash grab though. Replay the same tiers 8x, 4x, 3x, and the last one 10x where the final three tiers are the exact same...

That sounds over-complicated. Just make it so you unlock a victory with the tickets, and you can keep trying until you beat it without having to spend more tickets.

Losing a 15 token battle wasn't too bad but losing a 30 token battle would be painful and losing a 60 token one would suck big time.

Could remove the ramping token cost and just make them all 15 tokens a shot. Still preserves the mechanic but makes it much less punitive.

Haha. SLKR will make you lose several 60 token battles

And that is a problem. Even with 6 energy refreshes a day, that is basically a day's farming down the drain. Not fun.

I lost a 70 ticket tier 6 SLKR battle based on stupid RNG and wanted to smash my phone.

At the very least, once tickets are spent, you should be able to play that tier until you succeed. It's one thing to gate progress based on time/refreshes. It's another (and far worse) to gate behind rng, or technical issues.
