    So...

    Is this still planned? Real McCoy didn't even happen. Did it?

    Is the currently running "PvP Matchmaking" a test event, or just named that way?

    Blue Shift seems as painful as ever. But I couldn't tell if that's the old system or the new system punishing me for my 13-cover IW.

    I didn't play Venom... Any good feedback from the scaling there?

    So does this now mean that character levels are no longer a factor? Or just that the number of covers will factor in as well?

    My concern is for those like me who have fully-covered, soft-capped characters. It'll take a TON of ISO to level them all high enough to mitigate the scaling problems this new system could cause.

    I just hope either iso leveling requirements would be decreased, or the amount of iso won from events, or bought in packs would increase to compensate.

    The original post said that the new system took covers into account, not that it was the only factor. I'm sure since they said that this is a test and not a replacement system that they are being deliberately vague so people don't over analyze what's coming before it's here to try it out.

    My hope is they've come up with a way to accurately estimate character power based on level and number of covers and maybe even differentiated depending on the characters role and cover color. 4* Captain America with 4 yellow covers is much different from Kingpin with 4 yellow covers.

    Whatever the changes are, I can't help but be cynical and assume it will be designed to eat up more resources and slow the game down under the guise of "improvements", hope I'm wrong

    So...R96 patch preview is up and no mention of Matchmaking Changes. I am sad.

    Hi everyone,

    We wanted to let you know that public testing for changes to matchmaking/scaling are still planned. Things are actively being tested internally, but the devs aren't quite ready to commit to a new date just yet. We'll announce the new plan for when and where as soon as we can.

    Thanks.

    I'm less sad now. I appreciate the heads up.

    Is there at least any suggestion as to what's changing? Or is it being kept quiet so we don't actively look for specifics and instead report on what we're spotting more organically?
