It's easy enough to get a single 5* that completely destroys your scaling but is mostly useless with just once cover (still can't believe they didn't think of this problem before releasing 5*s and haven't fixed it in 6+ months). But it's also easy to have a full covered 3* or 4* but nowhere near enough iso to level them (personally, i have an iso gap of something like 2.5mil.). So looking at just one factor is never going to work properly across all players. Even looking at both together can be problematic because it's possible to have weak, high leveled characters (5*s), and weak high covered characters (4*s without iso to level) on the same roster! But they could significantly increase the iso flow, which would free more players to level their characters as they gain covers, and thereby make the existing scaling mechanisms work better.

And after that first failed attempt, the level of the other two opponents went up, so subsequent matches were even harder. In other words: I wasn't even able to win 1 single entry match in this event. So if lower level players are supposed to participate in this event, then from that perspective I'd say "test failed".

PVP has never been kind to one star rosters. We have all gone through it. Thanks for the confirmation. Before this, I've been trying out some of the other PvP events. I never expect to get very far, but usually it's enough to at least be able to win some ISO, and once in a while, a 2* cover. This time I couldn't even get past the first match. So I guess I'll stick with PvE until my roster has advanced a bit more...

I'm only using champion Magneto, Hood and Punisher, and don't have any maxed 4*s... The teams climbing have seemed maybe a bit easier than usual, but since I'm a ways from hitting progression, Things aren't usually too crazy under 600 on a normal event. I'll withhold judgment for now. Receiving a 5* best down this early in the climb makes me skeptical.
