CG,Your outward intentions of MODs 2.0 was 1) eliminate speed as the primary necessity and 2) make less used kits more valuable.But in doing so you have made speed even more important. And not only that have monitized our efforts to try and get speed. The chances are just awful. Some folks are getting crazy good speed turns and others not so much. This is making it extremely difficult. I feel like i have a solid green Grey or blue hell even purple or gold mod with 8-12 speed and proceed to upgrade it. The fact is if you speed on a mod doesn't go into the 20s it's useless. So i spend slicing material only to watch a potentially great mod turn to utter garbage. We need options to re-roll stats. Discarding it to oblivion because it's stuck at 8-12 speed after spending huge resources on slicing material sucks to no end.To top it off it seems that mod challenges give absolute garbage mods now. What gives?

Beforehand you didn't even have the option. My speed/mods have gotten a million times better with slicing. I still buy mods/get mods from events only, but now I roll to see all the stats, then slice them up - a green used to only ever get to 10, so in your mind was never valuable. That one can be 20-25 speed now for free just by farming slicing materials... How is this a complaint?

No question.But when you burn through 100+ mods to watch speed never upgrade it can become frustrating. And to watch others unlock mods with 25+ speed while yours sit at 15 absolutely stinks.I honestly don't have a good solution to this problem. You are correct giving people the tools to upgrade them is greatm but when it's so contingent on RNG and you start burning through 100s mods that won't upgrade past 12 it sucks horribly.

I have been farming speed for ages. Even before mods 2.0... I do not have a single 5* mod that‘s above 16 speed (secondary) and I have masses...I actually feel a reroll tool would make arena more competitive while devaluing speed as anybody has access. But it is true... speed becomes ever more important which is exactly the opposite of what CG was trying to do. Either the other stats need even more boost OR get rid of speed itself

Well I had 0, +20 speed mods prior to the change, and now I'm approaching 10. I think you're a little misguided...

Yeah but that rng has always existed, even in mods 1.0. Sure you had a higher chance of getting +10 mods and +15 mods but +20 mods were nearly impossible. They are now becoming more common. I don't know if I agree with rerolling mod stats but it wouldn't hurt to use crystals or extra mod slicing material to increase the chances of a mod rolling a stat that you choose. Like lets say pay double the slicing mats and one selected stat has a 50% chance to increase and the other 3 have a 13.3% chance of increasing.

Theres lots of complaints here, but +1 to the core issue: CG said they wanted to decrease the popularity of speed, and yet, thats the only stat everyone thinks is best.

Just because you got RNG luck to get 10 mods with +20 speed doesn't mean we are misguided.

Like i can control which mods upgrade speed..............

I have noticed that most times I get E mods, with an occasional green. If I get a blue, purple or gold, they are usually 3 or four dots, not 5. It seems like to chances to get triangles, arrows and crosses are much lower.
I do not waste my gems on extra refreshes to get mods anymore because the payouts have been so bad.

Just because we think that doesnt make it true. It will take a long time to overcome the farming we did. Nothing happens over night.

I don't have a single mod with over 20 speed on it. Guess every mod I have is useless.

Do people not understand that there are things to do in this game besides top 10 arena?
