Hero Lightning Rounds Feb 25-27
Comments
-
Just jumped into the Patch LR, which is my first from this week's batch (just been really busy).
I'm finding it a lot more competitive than previously - I'm sitting just under 300 points and still in the 50-100 bracket. Maybe it's the timing, next two rounds are usually good for me.0 -
Tank teams don't really work as well though now they have the skip tax/bonus in.0
-
I've been getting up to 100 points before putting in a tank team and got tons of attacks. When I only went to 50 points I barely got any.
Edit: screwed up numbers.0 -
Anyone see the top 10 for the current hulk round? Is it a slow night or something? How is someone with such a small, unbuffed and low leveled (under level 30) roster in the top 10? Shouldn't they be getting attacked all the time!! Or is their mmr so low that they don't show up on anyone's queue? Maybe a side effect of the no-skip feature? It's so weird....0

I see no such team in the top 10...maybe he's already been taken care of0 -

Lol. Nature has a way of working itself out like that
It makes me feel better knowing that the lightning rounds are rewarding folks who have been around a while. Everyone in my main pve top 10 are kicking my butt even though I could totally take them out in pvp. Seriously, I would wipe the floor with their entire 10-15 character rosters just using my main team of three. So yeah. If all is still right in LR, I can sleep soundly tonight lol.0 -
I hate that we have six heroes in rotation. Due to my work schedule, I can only play in the 6 pm and 8 pm rounds fully, a little in the 10 pm, and most of the 6 am if I push things a bit, maybe a few minutes in the noon one if I go home for lunch. But because 6 heroes mean things reset very neatly every six hours, that means I get IM40 for 6 am, 6 pm, and noon. While a lot of people have a lot of covers for him, he's my weakest 3* hero except for Psylocke; he's got three covers and is 28th level. I was able to get a courageous this morning despite that (though it was my 6th Spider-Man Yellow, probably the single option I wanted the least), but I'm just going to tank the rest of these.0
-
I wish they did these LRs like the villians. Have guaranteed covers and 26-50 be a RNG 3* pull. Getting 2*for 30th is brutal0
-
Yay I got my first ever lightning rounds top finish. My mmr must have been really low as I was seeing people with im35s and I was barely attacked at all. Got to over 500 points with my 122 Punisher/ 100 Spider-man / 69 Daken team. Too bad the rewards are not that great in these hero events and I had about 50% chance to get anything useful out of tokens. Got 2 punishers (useless) and one green GSBW (Yay!).0
-
Matchmaking gave me a choice between Nemek and Kicksthatkick.
Sorry Kicksthatkick.0 -
I'm in first and I just put out a tank team :x go nuts0
-
One thing the skip tax and the victory bonus has done is that it has reduced the effectiveness of putting in a tank team. I've been tanking on and off since the current LRs started and I've noticed that I'm being attacked less frequently. You would think that my tank team consisting of Lvl 15 featured hero + lvl 6 3/5/5 MN magneto + lvl 6 5/5 Bullseye would be a juicy enough target for most teams to bite on.
In the current patch LR, nearly 1 hour into the round - I'm still on 150 points after following my usual shtick of quickly disposing of the seed teams and putting in a tank team. This would never have happened without the bonus/tax0 -
^ I dunno, my team of low low level Patch (healing only), GSBW (no green) and Hulk (2 covers) still was getting attacked, and I only beat 3-4 seed teams.0
-
Yeah, tanking's working for me as well as ever - I put out a tank team of the donor IM40, 10th Level Bullseye, and 15 Psylocke out this morning and got attacked at least 5-6 times. Somehow, I won one of those.
I'll also say this - fighting freerangecage with that team was maybe the slowest, plinkiest match I've ever had in this game. Bullseye generated enough protect tile that my guys were barely getting damaged (my IM got unibeamed TWICE and stayed up) but no one on my side was doing any damage either. I may go back to putting in slightly less pathetic people.0 -

Yep, I also got at least one, but probably more wins from my tank team MStorm/38, Captain/20, stock hero. Wonder how that happened.0 -

I'm getting the exact same experience, my 6 - 8 losses. The last LR I tanked was the patch one with 15 patch, 6 MN Mags, 6 bullseye - Had a really good run of seed teams and made it to 250 before setting my tank team on freerangecage. At the end of the round, I had lost 113 pts - maybe 1 page worth of losses and finished in the top 2000. Before R48, I could practically guarantee that I would finish with double digit points in the top 100,000. I even managed a successful defense.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say that losing MMR is more difficult now thanks to the skip tax.0 -
heh, was bummed that I didn't make the Top 25 in the last round....then I pulled a x-force wolverine from the heroic token0
-
Get top 8, receive 2 covers I already have. I think I'll go play some more Dark Souls instead (after doing 4-5 seed matches anyway).0
