So for me, that level gets me an extra 37,500 ISO which significantly offsets the iso you lose investing in a 2* farm. And since it looks like they will keep increasing the SCL cap faster than most of us can reach it, these extra earned levels are pure gain for the vast majority of people on this forum.

The XP isn't insane but it helps and gets you closer to next rank. Each generates 266XP from birth to maxchamp. That's worth up to ~3990iso, depending on your rank. And a full crop of 13* s generates 3458XP.

IMO this only really effects bagman, who for me has been sitting at 100 for what feels like forever (probably at least 3 months at this point). Everyone else is in tokens, and we get flooded with them these days. There are extra tokens in pvp placement rewards, and pve placement rewards. I also usually get around two tokens a day in daily intercepts (sorry steam friends). So, even though 2* drop MUCH less frequently in LR/PVP, it still feels like the farm churns at about the same rate since these other avenues have sped up. NB - I'm hoarding tacos, but you could throw that in too - +1 taco per day is not quite as guaranteed to help the farm as the elites/heroics, but there are enough covers in the vault you're bound to get a few from these "extra" tokens.

Granted I am just now starting my farm, but why would you waste HP with the intent to get 2*'s? I understand if there is a vault reward you want, but with the intent of aiming for 2*'s?
