    The level difference of your heroes verses the opponents seems to play a factor.

    I have a
    3/5/5 MN.Magneto at level 45
    5/5/3 C.Storm at level 30
    3/1/1 Psylocke at level 43

    I have several other characters around level 30 that I use if needed.

    Most of my battles begin at average level of 25 and get no higher than average level 100. The greater the average level of the opponent the lower the level my opponents tend to be. That is, using lower level versions of the boosted characters will help keep the level of the enemies down.

    I often feel this is the case, too, though I haven't done any serious data collection with it.

    What exactly are you saying? I am sitting at 230 battles across the board in both subs.. getting annoyed as the simulator was the exact same!

    I'm not facing any 230s at the moment, touch wood. Most is level 170++. I've been using some low level characters for the easier ones, like Magneto/Psylocke/Cap etc. Maybe this helped a bit like what Bugpop says.

    I've been using lower level characters (mainly 50th level Classic Storm and MN Magneto, and 68th level Punisher, with my single cover 15 Psylocke making an appearance as needed) and mainly seeing 80-130, with some in the 150-200 range. I also have my highest level overall characters at 75th level, which may help - I've avoided leveling them up because I seem to get easier PVE opponents in general than a lot of people that I think are at my general level.

    Starsrift is incorrect. PVP has no bearing on PVE.

    There is a matter of debate of whether PvE affects PvP and vice versa. If you want to take the time, look over the various and numerous threads (especially Event threads), and conduct your own experiments.

    The bottom line is, though, to get easier matches, lose matches to lower your rating.

    I can confirm that heavily tanking PvP had a slight effect on this PvE event for me. Not as nearly as much of an impact as it had on other PvP events though. I saw a brief 10-20 level drop, but that was quickly adjusted back to the 230 standard after a few wins.

    I am saying this:

    Run teams that are lower level than your opponents. I'm talking like if your opponents are a level 25 team. Run a level 6-15. This is where a buffed hero comes in handy. Buffed Level 6 MN.Magneto has just under 2000 hp. If you use the buffed captain america, c.storm, and mn.magneto they will be stronger than the level 25 opponents. In fact, you can overcome the level 50 teams without trouble. Otherwise try to use a team as close to the level of the team you're up against.

    If you run a level 141 team against level 25 opponents, you will see level 230 opponents fairly quickly.

    It seems as if it takes the average level difference between your team and the opponents team, and uses that to scale the levels.
