I've never understood people griping about these...the prizes are within reach of players in lower mmr's without stacked teams. I built my team with those diabolical tokens, they're fantastic.

The people vying in the LRs are people who are transitioning to that status. On a lark I tried making it to top 2 in Magneto, since I still need a red. Wasn't going to happen without a lot more effort on my part. I'd rather just pull that red from a token or pay for it with HP. My Mags isn't level blocked yet anyway.

If it's by MMR you'll still get them tanking in rounds they're not interested in so that they go into an easier bracket in the round they do want to play, and with easier opponents they'll simply roll through everyone.

Only real way to separate is to have tiers based on total lvl of the characters brought in. Maybe a 100 and below, 200 and below 300 and below and over 300 tier grouping. You can play in as many of these during the hour and half as you want but diversifying means you won't win usually. The higher the lvl tier the better the rewards are. So maybe the 100 and under tier rewards for (let's say a magneto round) is Top 2- diabolical token Top 8- 2x heroic. Top 25 1x heroic. Top 50 5 standard etc. Then for the 200 under and 300 under would be as they are set up now and the 300 up would maybe give out more ISO. That way ppl with high stuff have less of a reason to troll in the lightning rounds below their lvl because the rewards are different. Sure, rich get an advantage, but the rich don't get the ONLY advantage.

What you are asking for has nothing to do with fairness, but about making it easy to get the best covers in the game, which is a terrible idea. Think of competing in lightning rounds as a long-term goal, something that you do over an extended period. When you get to that point, and with effort you can, the victory will be so much sweeter than if they had simply handed it to you. Getting those covers is the only long-term goal in the game (aside from simply collecting everything) and changing that would be a huge mistake.

Suppose you could win Doom or Loki covers in the lower tier, then use those to compete for Rag/Mag. Or they could offer diabolical tokens as upper tier prizes. Interesting idea.
