Yes, I have not seen that a challenge hero is removed from the portal earlier just 1 week before the release.
Maybe Staff reconsidered that he is too OP to be be released or they just want have some income later, when this event comes next with maybe more non Beta tested Gargolyes what we see in the picture above.
I was planning on doing a few pulls and fire is what I need and have mats for.
With Hohenwerf being held Iām not excited about El Duque so Iām gonna pass on this event. Save the gems for the next go round
I think hatter couldnāt steal as he attacks first making the old stoneskin be used and canāt be stolen. I tested diaochan, and because of three minions attacking it got rid of stoneskin before it could be stolen. Iām going try get a circumstance where I only have one diaochan minionā¦.
Edit: canāt be stolen by Diaochan Minions
Anyone else not pulling anymore now that they took off the best hero? Probably on purpose to make the portal attractive two times for whales
This is just veeeeeery, veeeeeery unpleasant.
Of course they CAN do this, but one shouldnāt do this.
It leaves a bad taste. Savouir vivre issues.
Naaah. Me no gusta.
Itās so disrepectful to us, the family of players.
It is so, because we all know the prerogatives of such behaviour.
Please SGG, show us some respect.
Hmmm, if the hero I wanted the most hasnāt been released and there are other heroes to be released, I donāt think I need to pull this month.
Hahaha. This one made my morning. I already can see this situation:
I would also expect another different event in the meantime. And even more gargoyles.
If the event donāt make enough money, itās possible that every gargoyle gets buffs like itās probably happening to war of three kingdoms.
Other aspects of the game and quality of life will still be dead.
I understand that this makes some players upset. See from another point if view, I hope it helps;
The way it has been during last monthās has put SG and players in a corner. Every new hero is compared with the latest āextreme buffed before releaseā hero. If the new ones arenāt close enough, many players will wait. It is like any other drug, if they donāt pump out even more extreme ones we will be disappointed. They try to nerf after awhile to bring the level of expectations to ānormal āā¦
We all know how it will ends.
Happy gaming
I wonder if they want to rework his skill another time and actually are taking time to work it out via beta rather than live game?
Thatās a bit of optimism. If his skill remains unchanged then Iāll conclude no. If it gets changed we can say either this or power creep did it.
Disappointed about Hohenwerf, he was the one I wanted not just color and power but estheticly speaking. Bummer 
Itāll be months before that portal returns.
Nah, it could come right back after the Challenge Festival. 
This is my expectation too.
I think after the next Challange Festival (which is confirmed) this Festival event will no longer be an every other month event, but it will go into the normal rotatation with equal apperance rates as all other events.
So after the Challenge Festival in June I am expecting a Slayers of Fell Shadows event (and a balance update right before the event for these here), and after these two I think Gargolyes will come next.
But all of these are guesses so we will Staff what are Staffās plans later.
Itās comical and sad in the same proportion 
And meanwhile all the S1 crap gets left even further behindā¦. Theyāll basically be 6* heroes soon compared to S1 5*.
Any news about event reflect red?
There is no information on that so far.
Got it. Thx!
20 character
As in ā¦, hits 3x. MA on 3x ? 
Honesty, Iām not super angry about this guy being removed.
I am beyond irritated through that they are removing hohenwurf(however you spell it)
But leaving the duque in rotation. He is terrible at present and needs to be removed and adjusted.
Pleeeassseeeeeeeee donāt put duque in the rotation please. Heās essentially a 4* hero in a 5* slot.
This event looks drastically less appealing knowing the odds to pull the duquemeister have gone up. Heās that bad.
Iāll make some pulls trying to get the 4s and 3s. Kalo seems very interesting , so does Bellerive
Budatin will be helpful against yellow titans
Get at least one 5s would be icing on the cake but Iāll be satisfied with 3s and 4s who are easier and cheaper for leveling
