Another week, another set of Mystique, Rags, Cmags, Doom, and Loki. And next week will be the usual DD, Lcap, Punisher, Gamora, and IM40. The only other character I remember being used in 6 months is The Hood. So with what, 40 3*, why are we only seeing 10? I would love to see more use of characters I wouldn't normally being to the fight in these short periods.

Also, since 2* are being required in pve anyways, why not really mix it up and have a 2* week of LRs? Or Maybe have 3 3*, a 2*, and a 4* each week or something. It just would be nice to see some other teams running.

    For as long as this game has been around...and LRs have been around since just about the beginning we have only ever had 2 different sets of Hero Villain rotations.

    Some more variety would be great. In the most recent video You talked about not realizing how much the community wants "quality of life" improvements. Well this is another one and it is long overdue.

    Maybe a new-ish character rotation, kk, s-witch, fist, cage, vision, and 3Bullseye or something. Or start some 4*lighting rounds.

    Or run them like miniature Balance of Power, with all characters boosted.

    NO. Not this ever, please.

    If you boost all characters, you are taking the "Lightning" out of Lightning rounds.

    People grind LRs because they are a fast and easy way to clock 24,000 ISO per week (on the lowest end) for doing 3 fights every 2 hours.

    If you make this like BOP, even grinding those first 3 seeds is going to be a terrible terrible experience...even the hardest most loyal grinders would question it.

    I know...i've been grinding LRs for as long as they have been around and this suggestion could make me stop icon_e_wink.gif

    easy...marc

    I like the balance of power idea, sometimes. Just more variety. Have a BOP thrown in every now and then, another with the void, or random groups of powered up characters. Just some variety/opportunities for other characters. Maybe throw a deflation round in, where all characters are reduced to level 15, or something.

    Actually they should just add the weekly group of buffed characters.

    You know what event I honestly miss? The star.png only event. I don't even remember what it was called. Knowing that the absolute worst thing that you were gonna face was a lvl 40 Juggernaut or a lvl 50 Storm no matter who you took on, and even if you wiped your team would be back up in like half an hour was always fun for me...we have a new 1* coming, can we bring this back in lightning round like form for a couple Friday's or Saturday's maybe? Just for something different...

    If you are online and enter the event precisely when it starts. If you're 5, 10, 20 minutes late, too bad, no Lightning Round for you! Eat 166s or higher!

    That to me is a far more important issue to fix. Let everyone have the 3 seed teams when they enter the LR.

    not the current week but the upcoming week of boosted characters. that would be a great preview of the upcoming boosteds and you could play around with team composition and everyone would get a turn. you could see if you needed to throw a few levels into someone for a good boosted group. how hard would that be to implement?

    Or the current batch of DDQ characters.

    SOMETHING.
