    It's just crazy. It's such a jarring switch over. Last few PVPs have been ok for me, I've generally been able to find a couple other members of the 94 crew within a few skips after passing 500, but this time it's been a nonsense.

    I'm really not that desperate for a Colossus cover either

    Yes, I've noticed this for 5 or 6 PVPs now, the cutoff for all maxed teams has moved down from 600 to 500. Fun times.

    I think I found my first max team in the high 400s. Makes you wonder if tanking is even worth it at all except for LR's as it what makes the first dozen or so matches easier.

    I'm hating this PVP. I've got over 800 all season, and I am losing two out of three matches over 600. Makes me want to throw my phone through the window.

    My LThor is level 89, and is no help when my team gets smushed by Call the Storm level 188 or something. I guess I've just gotten too used to doing well, I can't handle it when the game is over my head.

    Zero health packs now, time to wait another few hours....

    Went to bed unshielded around 750, woke up +20 with 4 defensive wins on the 5 fights I could actually see.

    Is competition for this one ridiculously low? I hit the 166 wall way earlier than normal, maybe 200 points down from where it normally is both days. For the PVP where Blade was given out, it was at least 500 points off of this one, (+300 off average).

    I'm thinking people see a heroic PVE and say 'screw it, I'm quitting MPQ for a week."

    I'm not joining until tonight, but I've actually noticed that in the last 2 events I didn't see the 166 wall until after I hit 700. Not sure if it's an MMR thing, because prior to that I forgot to shield 1 PVP and got knocked from 700 to 300, and another I just didn't have time to play and only got up to 350 before life got in the way.

    I wonder if there's a timing factor with the 500 wall. When I was playing yesterday (early afternoon EST) I got up to about 750 seeing mostly 2*-underleveled 3* teams. Towards the end I'd get a few maxed Thor/XForce/Hood teams, but skipping them got me back to easier teams.

    Also, cascades will kill you faster in this PvP than any other. Damn, once Thor gets going basically nothing will stop him until your team is dead. The AI lucked into 2 match 5s in a row -- yellow and red -- and from that point on there was nothing I could do.

    Just passed 500 and I went from 2* teams to 270 X-Forces, yay?

    Timing is everything. I'm in the low 600s now and still seeing 2* and transition teams. Quit out of the game and get back in would be my advice.

    I completely lost it (again, actually) when I heard the new sound for the dance.

    I'm pretty sure that blade rewards pvp was the most bloody pvp event ever.

    Same here, climb over 500 and hitting the wall.
    It takes 20 skips to actually find a team that has no maxed lthor. (Of course it has maxed sentry hood then or at least a 225+ xforce)
    I can't remember pvp being so brutal in any of the last 6 seasons, I'm having trouble to climb over 800.
    Starting to think they have changed more in the game matching algorithm than just setting the global availability from 600 to 500.

    i hear ya mags. this happened to me on a push before bed. match 5 into another match 5 into
    cascade of death into every power that the AI could throw at me beofre casting WR INTO DJ softly weeping into a pillow. The worst part is that when i started my push this morning into shield hop territory, the SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED on my very first fight. Needless to say, im not in hop territory yet.

    I need one yellow Colossus cover but I don't want to push for Top 5 in this event unless I have to. Lucky for me, we'll know the 1100 progression cover for Colossus PVP 12 hours before this one ends but in any other case I'd be taking a gamble.
    Hell yeah, Colossus yellow for Real Steel progression reward. Means I don't have to bother pushing for top 5 in this event since I only need one yellow cover.

    Mohawk Storm again? Maybe they're going to be running Children of the Atom or something next?

    At least it isn't spidey as some speculated.

    I need his red and 1300 points probably won't be top 25 in my bracket. icon_e_sad.gificon_cry.gif

    Congrats on your build though!!
