Synergies tied to Signature level: dick move?

So Sunspot has synergies that are at their most effective at max signature ability. Pretty sure another champ introduced this year has the same thing. This really rubs me the wrong way. Kabam has said they didn’t want people to rely on synergies, particularly in Act 6. Then they go and make fights that are almost impossible to solo without two champions on your team whose only purpose is synergy - that you have to have as 5 stars to use (duped Captain Sparkles the only exception I’ve seen). Now, if you want to use the new synergies, you not only need to have them as a 5 star, to get the most out of it they need to be awakened and sig 200. I could get over it if 4 stars were allowed in Act 6, because it’s at least feasible to max out a new champion if you’re that far in the game, but you can’t. Which is a HUGE requirement, even if you’re a big spender. And, if you’re a (mostly) F2P player as myself, you can only hope to max sig 1 champ of each class every year or 2. I’ve been playing 4 years and have 2 5 stars at max sig and one at 180. No one else is even close. I don’t expect to have as large rosters as people that spend, but I don’t think it’s too much to ask that at least we don’t get punished for not having max sig champions for champions when we want to use their synergies.

Not sure why I’m posting this because it’ll never amount to any sort of change and it’s more of the same bitching and moaning about F2P, but I haven’t heard many people’s talk about this issue.
