They should just have two options: "Compete for X Hero Covers" / "Compete for Heroic Tokens" radio button - you'd select which way you wanted to go and be bracketed accordingly. This would encourage people who don't need the hero on offer not to take him away from the people who do, since they'd get the hero tokens which offer a chance for something useful.

This won't work. If we did this then we'll essentially be self-sharding ourselves. Most top-level players already have the majority of 3* characters fully covered. So naturally we'd all opt for heroic tokens/extra ISO/etc. But then we'd need to score higher just for the same rank because everyone in our bracket has at least a halfway competent 3* roster. Eventually, people would pick up on this return to the cover brackets because they can place top 5 in the cover bracket with the same score as a top 25 win in the token bracket.

I always figured that - if they did this - they'd also change the prize ranks. Probably have a pretty high lowest possible prize (like a heroic and 250 ISO), and spread out token ranks (like first gets a 4*+ next rank, top 10 3 tokens and 5k ISO and 100 hp, top 50 2 tokens 3k ISO and 50 HP) and to choose that path you'd have to have a minimum of covers for the prize character.
