Meanwhile I'm seeing huge point values as I work my way through the lower levels of COTA. Usually I get 20-28 point matches in the early going, this time I've been able to easily find 30-40 point jumps to get me across the 300-point threshold.

It will be hard to stop it from happening in the alliance-guilds, but within the same alliance is a pretty simple change. The 1300 point prize was meant to be aspirational, but it feels like (for many established players) it has become automatic. (We know it was aspirational in nature because the threshold to get it used to be lower - until we started more reliably hitting it and then it shifted up.) The reason I throw out this idea is because they coyly indicate that it is a subtle change and they don't expect many of us to notice - either that is a joke and it will be "shotgun blast in the face" obvious to literally everyone, or it is something that won't affect many of us. I don't think coordinated laddering using your own shielded teammates is an incredibly widespread strategy. Many players wouldn't notice anything different in terms of MMR, they will still see a lot of the same names for opponents, but available points would obviously go down.

It starts on the Nefarious Foes event like the OP says. hi, i dont think so. something was tweaked Today, all 3 of my LR events were showing me opposting 3* - 4* teams with no points right at the start of the event. I'm a lowly 2* transitioning player. i couldnt even get beyond 100 points.

Confirmation bias is a wonderful thing lol. It's a disease called Premature complaining. That's the beauty of it - the second quote was from a player being _happy_ with the changes, which haven't been put in yet!

And after I beat Battle Angel in a Lightning Round, she gave me a token for a free car wash and a bag of Ikea meatballs.

The meatballs are the real win, the rest is just gravy.
