Lightning Rounds

All i fought were storm/wolv/thor fodder until i hit the top 10

gonna sit out this rags tourney. Placing top 5 in the magneto tourney makes this impossible. Gonna tank a few in a row and prepare myself for the 11PM PST rags tourney

Then i started seeing guys like you and Nemek. I picked on a 400 rating dr. doom user about 4 times.

Interesting you mention that. I don't remember ever seeing a round like this, where I started out fighting Thor/storms, then by the end was seeing lots of villains. Have you? It feels like something changed with the matchmaking, but IceIX said just yesterday that nothing has changed. It feels like it is adapting mid round, which I never noticed before.

Anyone else notice anything different, or has it always been this way and I'm obtuse?

I've noticed it before, though it did seem like this particular round was exhibiting it in spades. Once I got over 250-ish, easy prey started getting harder to find; once I got over 400, pretty much everything it offered me had a leveled Rag and/or Doom and/or Maggie in it.

wow Nemek is a scumbag attacking multiple board members

let's form an anti-Nemek brigade!

When I was fighting for my last red mag cover I was 450+ points and get attacked by .. Nemek at 110 points. It was ... not cool, about -45 points. I was first at the end but only 30 points over 3rd place. I am in on such brigade

Yeah, and all my matches were worth about 10 points, then I had a bunch of big hitters. Huh, so it isn't just me.

Anyone notice it says lightning packs expire in 22 hours, so it looks like tourneys will end Thursday morning

That's odd. I thought they would end 2 hours earlier.

I was hopin they'd go into friday

It might just be for people to redeem that last diabolical token. I'd expect it to end the same time it does every time (which is two hours less than the pack expiring.)

That makes a lot of sense, actually...

Thanks to forum members for teaching me tanking.

I tanked 2 rounds and got a green rag now.

So I just had three matches in a row where my opponent didn't get to go... that was... mean.

Magneto with 3B/2R/0P, level 48 pretty much by himself. Had enough stockpile to have 6 red and 6 blue to start on the Crit board. The game laid out each time with a premade crit (1 move away to match 5+ tiles), usually in red, blue or even nastier, the environmental tile. Then you just get the crit to go next to the environment tile and then it was off to the races. Playing Crit ruoulette with a character who can cheaply place favorable tiles around a crit token if one doesn't already fire off from the random placement is pretty nasty.

Nevermind that he's boosted all to heck from the tournament setup.

They didn't get to go. The next two games, they got 1 or 2 turns before the same scenario destroyed them. I added Gray Widow and her purple made for fun shenanigans, but not nearly as fast.

Still...

Yup, my L80 mags has been carrying me with his blue and purples

Hopefully I can snag a few more Doom covers this go round.

Also, still looking for my first Rag (been playing since Day 1). I won't hold my breath on that.

I'm in since about day 7, and no Rag for me either. It's obviously a conspiracy.

Unknown

Nemek's 112 20k Rag looks scary but Magneto goes through that in no time. Came out of that fight without a scratch after he only got 1 forest match.

No retaliation against my 1,2,3 team? (Lv 1 storm, Lv 6 Magneto, Lv 15 doom)?

Unknown

Was able to snag a few more Doom covers. Finally have his blue.

What a shame I have to sell a black and will get another black tomorrow that I will sell.

The retaliation point loss seems to be bugged in the hood rounds

Looks like you lose whatever the other person gained. Normally when someone of the same rank hits me in a LR, I'll lose 7 or 8 instead of 25.

Hood rounds? Nope.

Is there any way to convince The Powers That Be to have generic LR Loki's one cover be in Illusions?
