Feedback: I Dislike the New PvP Matchmaking

I'm on Day 85, four championed 2 star.png and working on covers for my 3 star.png . Previously, I could make 800 with shield hops if I didn't mind burning the HP (did so on Frank, for example).

I went into Lethal Intent hoping to hit 800 and shield to get the icon_gamora.png and icon_storm.png covers. I got to 639 and shielded. When I was ready to come out, all my available matches were between 16-30 points (one 30, most closer to 20). I skipped and skipped and skipped but it was the same seven or so people over and over. Sometimes I would skip "Bob", click on the node, and see that it had matched me right back up against "Bob"--10 ISO down the drain.

Eventually I took on someone for about 20 points and then the pain train started because I had dared to go above 600 points with my lowly roster so I just gave up. Overnight I dropped to about 230 points and I'm not even going to get a icon_blackwidow.png but I'm just done.

I feel like your new system straight up gated me out of doing well in PvP with my roster, which seems silly since I kinda need 3 star.png covers in order to improve my roster at this point. I guess I should have paid more attention during Magnetic Mayhem but I didn't need any of the covers there. Very discouraged and unhappy with my experience.

    That kind of stuff happened to me all the time under the old system, it has more to do with luck of the draw regarding the bracket you're in and whatnot. Not a function of the new system.

    I'm in a similar situation. I have 6 championed 2* and 1 fully covered 3*. There are still a lot of 3* characters I need multiple covers for. I don't have a single 4* that is usable.

    I sold my 5* SS and it helped the matchmaking for early on.

    In the latest PvP with Storm, I got in early, reached 580, and shielded. I came out with about 8 hours left in the event. Managed to reach 680 before getting crushed. While I was in a single match (which I won), I managed to lose 117 points because I was being attacked by a dozen other players. This system sucks for people like me who don't have a black cover OML and championed 3* characters. I can't even get to 800 to reach the 3* cover that I need, and I won't stay in the top 100 by the end.

    The PvP event before that I was at about 600 and ended at 375. I am hoping to somehow get to 4000 in order to get the 10 pack for the season, but at this rate I probably won't make it.

    I left PvP and went to PvE for a while. PvE got boring, so I went back to PvP. Now I remember why I left it the first time. Playing (AND WINNING) for an hour only to end up right back where you started is not fun. If it wasn't for the Marvel license I would have given this up already.
