Ellos.Been playing since launch and i know what superheroes are but i still keep coming down with a massive case of the wtfhuhs more
often than not so pardon the hurricane of moron questions.

I placed 1st in the hunt in the overall standings for the 6 out of the first 7 days of the hunt,
but on saturday all my missions stopped giving pts after one go at em and sunday couldnt do em at all. was this because of the rubber banding that i read about?
finished in 174th place because of not being allowed to do any missions.Are all future events going to be using this rubber banding system ?

K lightning rounds.Does everyone who wins these own a TARDIS ? i will play the whole lightning round and still be in the bottom 500s.is this because my matches take so long?

I read about tanking and tried it but after a few rounds in the next tournament i was back to fighting level 100 ragnoroks and think there was a fing fang foom too.Does the tanking
only las so long with a need to retank every few rounds?

Gonna Also toss my roster up.Would love any thoughts on what i should focus on trying to get thoughts on team.Right now im running Thor,Wolverine and Daken.
sorry for all the noob sauce hope i didnt get any on your shirt.

    I would imagine rubberbanding screwed up your Saturday results, but I don't understand why you couldn't do missions on Sunday.

    Probably. Who do you run with?

    Doom should be part of every team (since he's the best buffed character you currently have) and you should be doing each match with 3 +AP boosts to speed up the results.

    Does the tanking only las so long with a need to retank every few rounds?

    Yes. In my experience tanking only gives you a good leg up in the next tournament. (the first 200-350 points are real easy to get)

    I'm not a big fan of that lineup. You need red tiles to get Thor's mojo going and Daken and Wolverine flood the field with strike tiles covering them all up. Dakan's strike tiles are considerably weaker. I would lose him and replace him with IM40 (level him up to act as a shield for Thor) or Classic Storm (to stun/collect AP)
  • Replace Wolverin with Grey Suit BW if you have her. Daken is good for Rag mainly because his strike tiles keep the reds from getting over written by Rag's red abillity. I like IM 40 with Thor and Grey Suit BW personally. IM's yellow can generate red's for you.
  • Classic storm seems like a bad fit just for her blue stun as I use green for wolverine.
    I listed my whole roster I only have 1 cover for gray suit black widow so no dice there. Trying to see where I should be placing my ISO and what tournaments I should farm.

    I tend to get my but handed to me in flash rounds.is there an easier one I should try for at first?

    Loki or Doom would be the two I would start with, but you can get decent iso for little effort from running up to 100 in any of them.
  • You might have better luck in the standard PVP tournies, try to get 3* covers from there.

    The standard Thor/Cstorm/Wolvie will still get you pretty far, you'll just need more strategy to tackle them. CStorm's blue is still pretty amazing, it does a good chunk of team damage and gives a long stun as you level. In that team Wolvie is a little less important, since if you can build up some Red and a bit of Yellow/Green Thor and Cstorm can just kill everyone while fueling themselves.

    Running your IM40 in there instead of wolvie might be more useful, since I think Thor is going to tank whatever you would want Wolvie to tank anyway. With IM40 you can tank out blue for storm and recharge if you can't get enough red to get Thor started.

    I loved using Thor/Wolvie/Daken until I got my blue spidey covers. Daken's not going to be able to keep up with wolvie until you max him out, though. He has some great synergy with Rags with all the greens you'll be matching from Rag's red.

    And yeah, I feel like Lightning Rounds are going to be impossible for new people now that a bunc of people have gotten some maxed villains. If I didn't have a decent Rags and a level 70 max cover Doom I'd be in trouble.
