you should be able to skip retaliation matches without suffering the loss of the ISO bonuses. i had the seed teams queued up when i got nailed in LR and all 3 slots were retaliation matches with crazy high covers and i'm just trying to farm ISO.

    While I do agree about the skipping of retaliation matches. Seed teams need to be taken out as quickly as possible for the reason you are experiencing.

    Sorry about that - I didn't get in fast enough to get my seed teams this last round. My bad. I also agree that skipping retals should have no impact on the ISO bonus.

    i thought i had hit the 100 mark for the 250 iso when my "comm link disrupted" as per usual during LR. and when i got back i had already been attacked and down to 55 points with no 250 reward. i was at 118 before the disruption. very irritating

    I agree. I've seen some really low level teams retaliate (i think) against me and I feel really bad....

    With events like elite, I feel that it would be more fair to be able to avoid the 10 ISO cost while shielded. The system has already taken HP, why bleed ISO? Especially so for those at the top that have no choice but to skip 0-1 point matches. Maybe have an exception for the penalty if your opponent is worth <=5 points? One of the main reasons for adding the bonus/tax was to encourage people to not skip, thus funneling players into their proper MMR levels. Having a penalty for skipping extremely low targets has an opposite effect to that intention.

    I have to skip almost all of my retaliations as they seem to usually be against rosters with 100+ characters that I cannot possibly take down.

    In the long run it's best to not skip the retaliation matches because they're most likely the best targets you can find assuming you've an inactive for a while. That is, let's imagine you've 600 points and another guy at 400 points hits you while you're away. After you come back your point probably dipped to 400, while that guy, if he's doing his job, should be well above 600 from his climb, making him one of the better targets you can find. Though I do think having to pay to skip retaliation is kind of silly.

    Maybe a better solution is to award points based on the teams roster and not on their current rank. If you come across some lvl 141 Mag/Spidey combo and it's worth 40pts, you might actually give it a shot. 30 iso is not much incentive when the risk is losing 3 med packs. Just a thought. I think it's across the board every agrees the current system is broken. If only football had the same type of scoring system, the Broncos might have been able to win the super bowl. 44-7? No worries Payton, your next touchdown will be worth 38 pts and the Seahawks can only get 3 points for the rest of the game!!

    Irritating, yet unrelated to the topic.
