[IDEA] Give in-season characters a minor boost

Disclaimer: I am not saying that the game is perfect except for this change; it is definitely not. Just a small suggestion that I'm curious whether the community would like.

I like the seasons mechanic of MPQ, and I think it would be fun if the characters you get in the season had a small boost to their levels for all events in that season, to encourage playing them in PvP and maybe even PvE. We're talking something like 5-10 levels, nothing huge but something that ever-so-slightly rewards players who invest in newer characters. It also gives a little more meaning when an old character is given in-season status, and will encourage players to mix it up a little instead of relying solely on old combos (at least on the 3* level), giving the gameplay a little more variety.

While I like the concept, it could have disastrous effects on the teams people have carefully built. Just think what adding 5 levels would do to someone who carefully built a XF/Hood/CMag team such that CMag has blue strongest and Hood didnt tank anything.

I like ideas like this which reward players for using different characters. With this idea you could, in PvP, have the lower left node give +20 levels to in-season characters and the lower right node be +20 to vaulted characters. Or nodes could give bonuses to X-Men, Villains, Women, 2*'s, 3*'s, characters with a Black ability... The bonus needs to be big enough to make it worthwhile for players to move away from the top tier characters, but not so big as to completely overwhelm the match. But it seems like it might really help encourage additional diversity in battles.
