    Actually, I was more focused on the 20 person bracket thing than the buffed char. The chars should rotate like they do normally. I just like how the brackets provide way more rewards than they did before. People (inlcuding me) seem very satisfied with this so far.
    These brackets won't last past anniversary lr. It makes no business sense to suddenly give out more rewards for no reasons. It's because it's a special occasion and/or because of the mistake in previous pve and pvp that we have this bracket system. I'd still like to revert to the old rotating format as I get to justify putting resources into cmags etc...

    Absolutely not.

    Playing one character over and over again for the whole week gets stale quickly.
    Thor keeps it fresh because she's new but imagine having to play any other character repeatedly for 2 days of LR's.

    No thank you. I'll take the added roster diversity of previous LR's over this one.

    Note: It's clearly a no-brainer that I prefer the reward structure of this LR. That goes without saying though. It's FAR more rewarding than any typical LR. I don't actually think this reward structure is healthy for the game. As is, Thor's LR's make PvE's and PvP's feel like a complete waste of time because of how crazy good the rewards are and how much easier they are to obtain.

    It didn't take great LRs to make BoP feel like a waste of time...
  • I think this format makes the case well for smaller brackets (saaay, 100?) where you still have to fight hard to achieve a top spot and it wouldn't be so easy just to log in for the last 7 minutes and pick up three wins for a guaranteed top 3 finish. I really enjoy the racing aspect of these LR's where you can play frantically for anything between 5-30 minutes if you wish.

    These anniversary packs aren't exactly representative of rewards, so if there were 100 person LR brackets then normal heroic tokens (or similar LR tokens) given out like this:

    1st - 3 x Heroic + 1000 ISO
    2-5th - 2 x Heroic + 1000 ISO
    6th to 15th - 1 x Heroic + 500 ISO
    15th to 25th - 500 ISO
    26th to 50th - 250 ISO
    51st to 100th - 100 ISO

    ...I think that would be fair effort vs reward.

    I agree that the heroes should change and 20-player brackets are too small. But I do like having a decently covered 'free' hero to play with. Less healthpack.png to spend.
