Am at 94 with over 3 hours to go.. really want that hulk cover.. waiting on heals to try a "maybe win" match.. other 2 are solid maxed. If i use a mess of skips, will i eventually get a winnable, or will it keep putting me against these brick walls?

I'd like to think you'd eventually a matchup you're comfortable with, but...it may not be worth many points...any "winnable" matchup can turn ugly with an unfriendly board or unforgiving cascades...maybe you get lucky and everyone is focusing on the PvE so 94th holds up for 3 hours?

Honestly, if your roster is limited by level 94, don't worry about top 100s in PVPs. You have deadpool dailies now, and you'll eventually get top 100 in some PVP.

Have 2 level 150's, 3Thor (5/5/3) and Doom (5/1/5). They got me top 100 in metal. With enough purples, doom can down just about anyone, just took a loaner/166 mags/166 punisher to get me back to #85.. still a long time to go though. edit from 2:30 - guess i did something right, got some defensive wins, sitting at #68 with an hour and a half to go.

(got the blue +0 sign), which is too bad, but that's how it goes.

I think that just means nothing changed, not necessarily that you would have won. I think if you win a defensive win when shielded you still get pts? not sure so i'll defer to someone more experienced. my 588 was not enough and I was lucky enough to find 2 matches containing 94s (one obw/ares and one daken/140storm). not many pts but enough to finish 95. man that was a lot of work. hope you finished in the money mal...
Yes, you can win points with a shield : +0 means that you lost the battle, but the shield protected you. +X points means you won.
