I used retreating with a tank team to tank 3-4 times every PvP when they were five days long and we didn't have shields yet.

I would just throw my tank team in before I went to bed. brought me down from 5-600 to 200, & I would climb back up the next day in about an hour.

my MMR was freaking amazing.

    1) used to bank on the first time bonus iso during pves;
    2) used to sleep a full night during pve events ( actually I still do but threw it out there for those crazy grinders); and
    3) I used to turn on the game excited for the next event and jump right in, now I have to find the motivation to even grind to 800 points;
    4) used to join brackets in last hour and win them with 600+ points. Alliances changed that behavior icon_e_smile.gif

    Transitioned from 2* to 3* on the back of Spider Man's stun, now he has arguably the worst stun in the game.

    Ending matches at or near full health and playing for long blocks.

    Yeah the victory lap AGD was something I abused heavily - no need to go prologue healing if you never end a fight damaged icon_e_wink.gif

    Sleeping through the night. Served me well for about 37 years until I started playing PvE in this game.

    Not tanking. It's become an absolute necessity now.

    I used to sleep and have normal times, but since all this freaking rubber banding in the middle of the night is there I do not sleep. And as pvp now people go normally above 1300, so instead of maybe 1 hour per day I play maybe 3. So sleeping is an strategy I gave up, not working any more

    I do miss the days where you could do a pretty much infinite push with Thor/Ares/Wolverine and OBW. You'd need only the occassional health pack for when you screwed up a bit.

    Having to gind the last hour of PVP to get a top 50 placement before shields were around.
    Intentionally finishing PVP above 50 so I could get three 2* covers.
