Many (but not all) of the nodes in the easier missions are capped at a fairly low level, which means they appear artificially low to a high level team; somewhere between 30-50 usually. Then, when you make the jump to harder missions, it looks really stark because you are jumping up to the level you should be playing against, without the caps. The matchmaking system for the PvP events does its best to pair you with appropriate opponents, which is not necessarily the player you are skipping matches to find. The intended function of the skip feature is to allow players to find favorable matches or avoid unfavorable ones. Keep in mind that one of the major factors that determine which opponents you're paired with is your personal rank in the event, but will still keep an attempt to find other teams with a similar strength based on the top three characters in your Roster. As the Silver Surfer (Skyrider) character is level 255 when obtained with the possibility of reaching level 270 with its first Comic Cover applied, it is essentially considered to be the strength of a maxed out 4 Star character in your Roster, and the balancing for PvE events and the Matchmaking system for PvE events will take this into consideration when creating the difficulty for each mission and the matchmaking system for PvP events will take this into consideration when searching for an opponent in these events. As such, with a Silver Surfer (Skyrider) in your Roster, it will boost the difficulty you experience you encounter in PvE and PvP events due to its level compared to the rest of your roster. Please keep in mind that if you enter an event for the first time with a Roster, and then quickly make changes, that event is not going to re-calibrate to the new Roster.

What ever happened to "5*s will have no effect on roster scaling and MMR?!" Oh, that's just awesome. We have a useless 5* straw man, but MPQ pretends it's a fully covered and leveled, and thus USEFUL 4*? Just when I think it can't get any worse with this game/development team… "Just don't open your rewards (you know, the reason you're playing, and how you progress) unless you already have 3-6 fully covered and leveled 4*s?" As ridiculous as that "logic" is, it would still have been GREAT to know that BEFORE I opened a token and was "rewarded" with my $ilver $urfer/albatross… DBC

Players who gamed the system (intentionally underleveling characters) said it was fair as having maxed characters helped more in PvP anyway. Guess this is d3's way of paying those players back. fmfint is
