So I want to know what's the point getting above 1300 when you have like every cover. 1300 is the last progression award so why need to get to 1500 or 2k

For me, it's about some of what Zen said, wanting to see how high you can go... but more about season 3 than anything.

I know in my season 3 bracket, I've got electro, gipsy, flo98, ravenheart, mickeyDollar, thatlist, Ian Shen, Captain Amurika, MastaJin, fongV...etc, etc. So.... If there was ever hope to stay in top 10/20... that means you have to get points.

So...it's not a perfect situation. But, I would count on, as long as the season format exists, there will most likely be higher scores than there used to be more often.

I'm in the same bracket as you. Insane isn't it? I've hit you a couple times in a pvp because you where one of the few high up I can target. I wait though before atacking so I always hope you are shielded. I felt bad targeting you more then once but at some point there aren't many choices. Good luck on this season bracket. I feel your pain, I really want a chance to win some bagman because as WorldRunner proves he's really OP

Yeah, that's my bracket as well. I don't even care where I end up, I just set 1100 per PVP as my goal for the season and leave it at that.

So how did people get to 2k when ur at 1500 and less than 9 points. It sounds outrageous.

Getting to 2k would just require 2 players willing to keep hopping each other.

for instance if me and you wanted to do it we'd just need to coordinate hops and only hit each other. It would require a good amount of money but it's certainly not impossible to do nor do you have to cheat to do it. I don't know that you'll ever see anyone do it again but it's certainly do-able.

No worries..I saw you in there. #5 down I'm not worried about, it's those top 4 that has pretty much sealed the deal for the rest of us. Kinda sucks, but oh well. And I completely understand about the hits... sometimes there never really much choice with all those 3 pt matches past 900 or so.

Funny thing is, I find when I do score higher in a pvp, I actually lose places in s3, lol.

And Bowgentle...yup, it's definitely a pain. But, doesn't sounds like you have a bad plan at all. Maybe by the time we get to season 15 we'll have it all figured out.

what i don't understand is how you are seeing teams that have lvl 85's etc. on them. i don't have a single 166 hero with the large majority of my roster being around 100 and i get nothing but 166's. it's ridiculous and i can't ever progress.

One of the major problems with how this game tries to scale things is it doesn't appreciate the fact that when most people see a fight they can't win they walk away. They've tweaked the formula a number of times, but the current state of things seems to be that defensive loses don't effect your MMR nearly as much as actively winning and losing. So if when you play you win, and when it gets too hard you stop, your MMR is never going to go down. Because the game doesn't understand "stopped playing". It can't measure that. So to make your MMR go down by any reasonable measure you must actively lose, and lose spectacularly, which most normal people do not seek to do or enjoy.

I was thinking of maybe streaming MPQ at some point on my twitch.
I didn't think it would be that interesting so I didn't do it before.
Might just stream it when I open all my tokens or something, or at least all my heroics when Nick gets released.

Not sure how many people on here have twitch though or who would even care, but might be interesting for all the token statisticians to see what pulls I get from my horded stash of tokens.

i would love to watch this

I'll maybe be popping on my twitch sometime this week to make sure everything's in working order as I haven't streamed anything in forever.

Click here for the link. Maybe Monday or something?

Gave you a follow so I can check out what your stream is like . Learned about MPQ in the first place from seeing someone stream it, so I'll watch anything right?

Was just playing about with my stream but I can't get it to work anymore
