Question on PVP point loss

Unknown

I can't understand this guy's actions so I thought I'd ask here. When you get the "you were attacked" message and it says -10 points, is that how many points the opponent gained? B/c Fontana is getting 10 points off me and I retaliate for 34. This is his 3rd attack in over an hour and I see no reason not to retal and get free points.

Is there some hidden benefit I don't understand for point loss/gain? He's got over 700 points in No Holds Barred, so presumably he should know what he's doing.

You're right. Keep retaliating, at least as long as you are getting 30+ points.

Could be a tactic to lower his points. Not everyone wants to be "first". And from what I've heard there are ways to tank your MMR.

The only thing to consider is that he may be going for a higher tier progression reward and you may be one of the only target's available to him for any points. I usually try to lay off a guy who is obviously trying for a particular reward until after his attacks stop. Just a courtesy to help out a fellow MPQer. Unless of course I am in the middle of a grind for progression myself, but even still I sometimes pass up a good target if i see he is at 1079 points just so as not to rob him of his prize.

I wish when I was at 1090 I didn't lose 40-45 points a match. Sometimes 150 points or so within a minute. Darn u mpq !!
Also getting to this 1300 Spider-Man seems completely impossible for me even though I can grind for 4/6 hours straight without losing a match I will still barely scrape to 1100. How do people manage that ****? Lol

That is a question I often ask myself. Would like to see some statistics. But the communists kidnapped our Ice.....
