Your WORST MPQ moment of the day (REALITY thread)

For the most part, I've been really enjoying the new PvP scoring system. I hit full progression in the admittedly truncated Simulator, and it really wasn't even that hard.
Fist Bump was a different story. I was reminded today why it's pretty much a waste to buy shields. I had gotten to about the 750 mark and wanted to get to at least 800. That was putting me somewhere in the mid-40s for rank. After winning and the AI losing some matches for me, I was only being offered about 5 different matches, no matter how much I skipped, and none of them were favorable. I decided to shield at 749 points and just inside T50 with just over 3 hours to go. I tried to queue up some matches I thought I could win relatively quickly to get me to the 800 mark. I was shooting for at least 800 and T50, as I really needed the Luke Cage covers.
When it got to the 15 minute mark, I broke my shield and played the first fight that was advertised for about 40 points. I won it, but only got 20-some points. OK, whatever. Next match. Win, but came out to see the AI had also lost one fore me. Played another match. Won it and got to 791. One more match with about 5 minutes left. Win it, but come out and see that I was just over 700 points. I ended up with 740 points and 65th place, and essentially a net HP loss of 50 points, two Ares covers I don't need at this point and three Elite tokens. At least two of those tokens were useful. Would have rather had the Cage covers though.0 -
Somehow, I ended up getting a single token instead of a 10 pack?! Maybe the Season picked up the clearance level 4 from the first PVP, not sure. It was an annoying surprise. I don't remember picking one for the Season. I'm level 5 on "Sticks and Stones" and "Simulator".
I was very happy to get that low-hanging fruit of the Spider-Woman cover from Simulator, at least.0 -

Enemy team making a miraculous cascade with 2x critical combos etc that took from my IronFist about 7k energy (there was enemy strike tiles but still unbelievable)0

Pulling my 10-Pack of heroic tokens, and getting three 3*s this time-
-Except they're all ones I don't have rostered yet. And none of them were Raganok, who _was_ the next one I wanted to get started (because he'd feed me X-23 covers eventually), and who I missed out on by being out of town and away from the internet during the one week when there was a chance to net something like 4 covers for him.
*Grouching*0 -
The lady just got her first Juggernaut Heroic token and pulled a Legendary token from the vault with it.
The reason this qualifies as a "worst" moment isn't because she pulled it - that's pretty damn awesome! It's because I wanna see what she got, but her roster is primarily 1* and 2* at the moment, and we agreed that she would be better off holding onto that token until she has more roster slots and has made more progress into at least 3* world.
But I wanna seeeeee0 -
So in the entire 4* cover space, there are exactly two covers for which I have no use. Nick Fury blue, and Star-Lord purple, and I just got SL's fifth purple yesterday (wait, yesterday or today? From R&G's day, because that pushed him/them to 183). Those powers are at 5, their others aren't maxed (or even close), so those two and only those two covers are complete junk. Well, 1000 ISO junk. Any other 4* cover is useful.
So I pull up the preview of the rewards for Venom:Heroic, and check CL7. What do I see?
Star-Lord. Purple.
You gotta be kidding me0 -
Good part was I beat 270 Moonstone.
Bad part was it took me 8 tries and had to progressively level my Jean Grey from 120 - 180. She is only 4/1/5... so her blue stun with 1 cover is pretty useless since it only stops Moonstone from making the move after the match 5 and does piddle for damage. It's alright, in all 8 fights, Moonstone only made 1 match 5 and that's because I left it for her to see how the stun would work out for me.
Pulled LT, and pulled ... which is the part that sucked the most. I now have 3 covers in my queue because he's sitting in my roster at 5/5/1.
I really wish there was a mechanism in place to remedy this type of situation.0 -
Jean Grey's DDQ crash is making me want to smash my phone. I think I'm around 0 for 10 so far. Spent around 65,000 ISO to bring my 1/5/3 Jean up to level 171. Used all my boosts and now spending hundreds of HP and ISO on more. Had Moonstone down to 136 health on one attempt. Worst random number mental abuse I've come across in a while. What a terrible mismatch compared to almost every other DDQ. I know there are a few other bad matches but I don't have good covers on Mr F or Flaptain so this is my worst MPQ experience that I can remember for a while. 4700 hero points left to see if I can beat this stupid match.
Update: 2 more matches to beat her. Hopefully I'll be fully covered and champed next time this rolls around.0 -
Was doing the last Lightning round of the day last night and was all out of Health packs, but I was beating up seed teams like no one's business...
...that is, until I accidentally started a fight against a guy with OML and Silver Surfer while I only had threestars on my team. Got beaten badly, so the last two seed teams remained unbeaten.0 -
I hate this heroic event. Haven't done even 2 clears yet in each node and all of my characters need health packs already..

....Oh darn I forgot Quake. Yes I have her in my roster, low leveled though but might still come handy. Thanks for reminder!
edit: Though Muscle didn't fire yet his strike tiles at all0 -
No shield clearance in Sim. Come on, those extra 3*'s and a 4* are (were) finally a little movement towards transition, and they keep getting yanked back away....0

Five anniversary vault pulls, five two stars. Wheee!0

This anniversary (pve) has been a frustration from day one. I have rarely seen so many enemy cascades and stale boards, where I usually get killed after a couple of moves. Even the simple nodes leave my characters bleeding. I was also unlucky with featured characters, they are ones I don't really like so I had to recruit e.g. Bullseye and Mystique (like her better now though), meaning they are a bit weak. When the AI decides to play funny on you it's better to shut down, cool off and do something else for a while. Lady luck will be back another day!0

Tablet battery needed reloading and I missed my 4 clears / sub in the first sub of PvE0

My go-to team (IM40/Cmags/GSBW) had taken some damage from an earlier match, but I figured they were still healthy enough to handle a low-ranking team (2 2* champs & Gobby) I found in SHIELD Sim. In one match, they hit me with 5 separate multi-part cascades and at least (I stopped counting) 14 critical tiles. It was outlandish ****.0

The scaling in the Best Friends PVP is way off. I'm facing duos that are far more powerful than mine. The good news is that I can generally out-play the computer and still win when I'm in control. The bad news is the computer also does a lousy job of playing my duo defensively so I'm losing when it's in control.0

BFF PVP, need I say more? Nothing like losing in 3 turns. AI of course has to make 8972345807213456987123498759023487 matches every turn, stun my for 5 turns and then I have to sit there and watch while I get killed off. So much fun...
I don't mind losing, but it would be nice if I was at least allowed to actually play the game0
