    Thought jugs was only doing 6k headbutts in this one? But yes you are correct, match damage only on the scaling thing, but it does seem a ~bit~ less extreme than previous runs.

    The climb will be much more painful, but for those willing you can use a wide array of teams to hop with, just don't be too slow!

    I might be a bit out of the loop here. What happened last time?

    Huh... that is weird. Maybe they are reworking over scaled guys so the rotating buff PvP thing becomes standard? Maybe I am thinking of some other time Juggs headbutt me for 11k. I hope any rework is applying to PvE enemies also. Anything to deflate 395 Ares is good by me.

    Yeah I don't think juggs headbutts for 11k even at 395. You must be misremembering

    I went for 'eh, kinda'? Because it's no fun if you're actually seriously competing, because every match becomes a huge slog because of the huge amounts of hp and because Juggernaut is really overpowered in this event.

    If you don't need any of the awarded covers, though, it's fun to try some crazy/silly combinations. I just played a match with Bag-Man, Bullseye and Invisible Woman, just because I could.

    No what I mean is if last time everyone is overwhelmingly using a certain character they can ban the character next time around so we don't get to see say, Juggernaut, all over again.

    It's a fun idea for an event as it lets players mess around with fully leveled versions of their characters.

    I like that it exists but I personally hate it. It doesn't translate into a fun competitive gaming experience.
    Every match sees you barely clinging onto life and it takes an absurd amount of resources to do well.

    Cool idea. Not fun.

    Voted "Eh, Kinda?" - I don't enjoy it myself, but it still serves a purpose for new players so I wouldn't vote to banish it forever-more.
    I know my characters are boosted too, but overall it still feels like overscaled PvE matches to me - slow & more chore than game.

    I don't get the aversion. Oh no, Juggernaut it good in 1 event that happens every 3 months...

    Seriously, the boosted Daken tournament tends to be way more annoying than dealing with Juggs.

    I used to hate it, but since the last few PvPs have felt a lot like it, it kinda takes the edge off it...

    It would have been cool to run this event after the upcoming 1buffs, so that people who have these characters maxcovered, but only at lvl 40 (because who puts iso in them?) could test them out a bit and make a new iso decision ... or not.

    /edit: evil forum replaces "1buffs" with "nerf". well played, d3, well played.

    It was really fun when I had a less developed roster, and in this event I could compete with more senior players. Now that I have a more developed roster, it is kind of a grind since each match takes so long. But overall, it is probably good for the MPQ community.

    New player here (<3 weeks). The event is kinda of broken. Lvl 1 jugs makes it unfair.
    I am using lvl 1 jugs, Kamala Kahn and 3* daken and it's easy to spam attacks. Being able to do 6000 damage is ridiculous, it usually only takes 1 hit. Combined with kamala khans healing and jugs Headbutt isn't much of a draw back (deal 6800, take 2000).

    Don't worry Mrx0, that ability to one shot people with Juggernaut will dissapear quickly, both inside BoP as characters begin to have 14,000+ health and as soon as it's over. Relish your one ability to win some covers in PvP before you get scaled out again.

    I love it because it's not the standard PvP format. Kinda like how I love the last few PvP events with the multiple boosted characters. I'm not saying it's perfect, but after a year of playing the same god-damn PvP events week in and week out, I slaver at the thought of a little variety.

    I enjoy it when it is an off season event and doesn't offer any covers I need, so I don't have to worry about scores and ranking.

    It's fun to fool around with all my 1-4* characters that are otherwise not viable in pvp (Venom's Gastronomic Adventures in Juggs and Dino-eating, abetted by Spidey) and also boggle at some of the numbers on abilities like Cstorm's Windstorm (5k aoe for 11ap!), and Cyclop's Full Blast (up to 13k! Go blast them all away, Mr Perky!)

    Not really keen on fighting my.way up a mountain of Juggs and Ares, though.

    It's much needed. You get to see what you are working for. Why wouldn't you want that?

    I'd love to see an event like this but lock out the top tier characters (or maybe just buff all but these characters) - juggs, ares, all thors, patch/xf, obw, hood, loki, maybe cstorm, hulk and all dakens. then there would be some interesting teams out there - things we don't normally see. as it is, teams are still very predictable even though you have all of them to choose from. I know an event like that would bring the scourge of the forumites but it would be more interesting imo.

    Surprisingly fun at lvl 270? 2 Star Mrs. Marvel. Wiping opposing teams off the map with her black power. I target down their biggest gun and just fire that off asap and by the time I get to the 2nd/3rd guys they are either already dead or close.
