Ancient Queen nerf

AQs are over all too strong and with them slowly more and more in game, the normal queens are less and less good in comparison. It is very hard to gather team for common queen matching both landform of all 12 bees and either like or dislike of queen, which is part of top tier end-game to maximize team power. AQs remove from equation whole one part, the landform, as they provide full bonus to all bees no matter what is their specialty. This basically killed normal queen market. To balance the this issue a bit, I would suggest this change to AQ mechanics:
Ancient Queens newly provide their landform siege bonuses ONLY to bees that match either like or dislike of the queen, not-matching bees receive bonus as if the AQ was normal queen. This will motivate players to gather like or dislike matching bees and will improve marketplace activity and will reduce overall OP of AQs.

Some players only buyed AQ for those bonuses .. if you do that, I’m gonna be one of those that gonna be really mad.. sorry at te end I have also to check my assets aswell .. it’s for me to late for nerving AQ .. other solution needs to be found on that case. It’s like to easy now to drop, hey we gonna nerf the AQ 🤷🏻♂

I get where are you coming from, still, in wider picture, we are slowly headed to only AQ hives, because of the OP (you are evidence of btw). And regular queens are getting almost useless next to AQ. The effort to build good team with normal queen and AQ is incomparable and it´s way too easy to build strong team with AQ, you don´t need to do anything but look for mood and that´s it. When I say OP, I mean it, objectively the AQs are OP and common queens are "dead" stuff nobody wants anymore. (you basically admit and confirm what I´m saying)
You can always have the bonus from AQ once you find at least mood+like or dislike match. Still extremely strong when the landform is out of game to have strong team of one color. Even after the nerf the AQ will be extremely strong.
AQs killed common queens literally, the difference is way too stark and literally nobody will buy common queen to start building strong team around, zero chance almost, as you need landform, mood and like or dislike match to make rly competitive team. With the landform required for common queen you have only 1/6 of chance to build matching team next to AQ queen and that's killing difference to all of common queens.
Another thing is, way too high speed you get the AQ eggs, I can get an AQ almost every 2-3 weeks, that´s insane, I´m not nearly as many RJ shards in that time (If I was hunting).
In short, I do like AQs, have 4 of them too, but at the same note I hate them, because they make the game way too easy and spoil players causing them to lazy builds around AQ with little brain needed to use, and little real effort to build strong team around. AQs, are like Honeyland Cheatcodes, literally, dodging all the other game mechanics that you need to follow to build good team. IDDQD queens... and I don´t like that "philosophy".
