Buffed Daredevil tournament. Something interesting to note is that the progression rewards have once again been changed back to their original values of 1400 for IW. Has anyone even seen anyone break 1k points with this new system?

Rank 6-15 - blue, black doom
Rank 16-45 - black doom

    This tourney will perfectly finish my Doom. Not that I ever plan to use em.

    Prog rewards decreased to 1400. Could be achieved with lot of community effort...

    Saw your post, I'll avoid posting mine to not double post.

    Add this interesting info to your OP please.

    Stockpile rainbow +3 at 100 progression
    At the top of progression... 1200 DD Purple, 1300 1000 ISO. 1400 IW Blue
    Bottom right node on the PvP screen is now the desert stage, not the city stage
    Flavor text from "Event Rules" screen: "Beat 500 opponents and you could win Wolvering (X-Force)" - How does this work in reality?

    I'm starting to regret not grinding for that daredevil cover when it was possible. Not that a single daredevil would make any difference here without many covers and levelling.

    Is "too_many_pants" a new bot? He just showed up on my seed teams. It's clearly a bot, just curious if I had seen one before.

    I think that just means that the brackets are for 500 players each and the top price is Wolvie.

    No way. 1400 was very hard to get back in the days of the old scoring system. That was with boosts and pre-nerf Rag helping you chew through enemies in under a minute.

    Even 1200 required a bit of luck and tenacity to reach.

    Unless people start shielding like the Elite tournaments you're still not going to get anything above 1000 and even 1000 would require extended playing while everyone else is asleep.

    But at least they're starting to adjust those numbers.

    Feel like we should've had DD as one more event reward before having a tourney featuring him.

    Mine has 1 of each cover except red (which I got lucky, he has 3 of those!), I'm really hoping this doesn't mean we won't get a second run of Thor's event (which I didn't like, but it would mean in turn that we'll see another No Holds Barred with the last Hood covers I so desperately want!). Given how bad the PvE structure of the two daredevil-rewarding events were, I'm... whatever, it's been done. At least I'll have a leg up on the competition in general.

    That makes sense.

    I doubt its obtainable with invisible shields. I remember even 1k being challenging to reach due to retaliations. What we would need to do is coordinate something such that we queue up an attack on someone, they shield, we attack for points, and repeat that process. Seems too difficult.

    I reckon it'll probably run after the wolvie event is finished.

    One thing MMR does do successfully, if possibly the only thing, is make this kind of planned collusion more trouble than most people could face. Although people who are topped out could do it, in principle. Match fixing scandals ahoy!

    Daredevil ewwwww. I guess everybody will find out whether traps are any good on defense.

    When the AI uses ambush, that is scary as hell given the damage.

    Ambush basiclaly hoses a team that relies on red to attack, which is like, almost every team out there. Sure you can just hope they never get enough to use Ambush, but at 7 red, that's pretty hard to deny consistently. Looking at the PvE games I've played, the trap isn't always placed in a dangerous spot, but that sure won't make you feel better when you're facing him when you don't get to see where they are.

    I'm not actually all that keen on the stockpile reward at 100, I'd rather a token.
    But considering it's worth 100HP these days, it's only a minor personal gripe. Guess I'm just going to have to use some of those 10 that's sitting in my inventory. I can't wait til they increase it. 10 max is ludicrously low.

    I think it's pretty smart: having this reward makes it so that the player base isn't completely starved on +3 alls, and since they know that this reward exists probably for all future tournaments, they can use the +3 all strategically as the devs intended.
