    It has been this way for ages. Nothing new here.

    Agreed, and I only stumble on it accidentally. Are you waiting until you're out of team ups to ask?

    Team ups have a cooldown, true. Did you ever stop to consider the other people in your alliance may also need team ups?

    It's courtesy to only ask for team ups every 24 hours or so. I'd also say if you need team ups that often you're punching above your weight and it's unsustainable. If it's gauntlet or something I can understand.

    Better to ask for tips than team ups on tricky nodes.

    Okay, that's stupid. I actually like using TUs and enjoy using them to shorten match time. They help in a pinch, as well. Just because you don't feel the need to use them doesn't mean everyone else who does is "punching above their weight."

    thats why we have 20 peeps in an alliance so that teamups are quickly obtainable

    If you are using them so much that getting 5 from alliance mates every 30 minutes, plus whatever you earn from playing matches, is not enough then I would agree you are playing beyond what your roster can handle.

    We have some heavy TU user in our alliance, and when I say heavy I mean they might ask twice a day for them. Then there are those of us who only use them as a last ditch to not lose a match and never set specific ones when loading. I think I personally use an average of maybe 1 TU a week, and request them maybe every other month since I'll usually just replace from winning PVP matches.

    I still have a level 395 LThor team-up from when you could still win those in PVE, so that's about how often I use them.

    Or we could just remove team ups completely from the game. They are just another way the AI gets an advantage. I rarely use them. Outside Gauntlet where everyone in the alliance is doling out Whales! Whales! Whales! for the week prior or, some other specific event where, a particular TU is very handy.

    I tend to go in waves with T-Us.

    Something like Ultron or Galactus, Gauntlet, or even making a run in PvP might increase my requests, but even then, maybe 2-3 times a day, and if I get to that level, I'm always very apologetic and appreciative via chat.

    For the most part though, especially with my 3*s taking over the DDQ-BE, I find I'm asking maybe 1-2 times a week? Usually less? Pretty sure I was asking a bit more right around the time my 3*s were beginning to take over for my 2*s, and I really like the usage of the phrase, "punching above your weight," because I feel it probably pretty accurately illustrates what was happening for me at that time.

    With 20+ comfortably covered 3*s, I'm either going to win or not, the T-Us shouldn't be making or breaking that eventuality.
