    The problem with the MMR argument is that once you go over ~700 it opens up due to the lack of viable targets in a low MMR range. With those chars, I dont see how he wasnt getting pounded. That sounds a lot like my roster and I was getting beat silly and barely treading water once I got over 700. That was after tanking MMR both in last weeks LR (tanked 3/4 of them) and burning through shield the last few days.

I've been watching him rise and even pass me I'm sitting at 832 and he is now at 933. how has he risen this much in this short amount of time and not even been attacked? I'm just a little suspicious. He hasn't shielded at all either. I could see dropping a shield, getting in a quick few fights, then re-shielding, but this guys keeps rising. I'm not going to try to catch him because I'm not going to risk my top 5 just for IW, but something is fishy.

    totally possible. I myself was unshielded the last hour at 880+. No attacks. All because of MMR

    If he dropped his MMR enough before the event only 1 and 2 star comps are going to be seing him, and they aren't going to want to attack a full 3 star deck

    I put in a tank team with 2 lvl 1's and I only have been attacked once after like a half an hour. Did they change the mechanics or something to where you cant tank LRs anymore?

    Speaking of the Heroic Venom event, from the discussion thread:
    IceIX wrote:
    As with the above, the Heroic isn't out yet and we can flip switches up until it is. Current required roster is:
    Iron Man (Model 35)
    Storm (Modern)
    Wolverine (Astonishing)
    Hawkeye (Modern)
    Spider-Man (Bag-Man)
    Black Panther
    Psylocke
    Human Torch - Powered Up

    Rewards: Mr. Rogers/LThor covers for higher tiers, MHawkeye/CStorm covers for lower tiers.

    So now You know where to spend all this ISO icon_e_smile.gif

    Well time to see if I can afford a couple human torch covers and maybe try for 1100 in his tourney. At least I need the green x force even if the rags are just iso

    I see that those without high lvl BP or optionally Psy will have some tough times in the Venom Heroic. My roster:

    IM35 MAXED
    MStorm MAXED
    Wolvie** MAXED
    MHawkeye lvl 25
    Bagman whatever
    BP lvl 55, only 3/2/3
    Psylocke lvl 65, 5/3/3 so decent
    Human Torch (Powered Up) - lvl20

    It doesn't give me much options really, though I'll put some ISO into Psy probably. wanted to do it anyway and now it's a good moment. Wolvie green + Psy black should deal some amount of dmg.

    Human Torch will be buffed into the stratosphere, so Torch + AWolv + MStorm would be a good team. Your Psy is no joke, either. Mine is only at 3/3/3.

    IMPORTANT:

    Due to pasa_' week absence, I expect each and every of You to do 105% of what You do usually in tourneys and events. This way we will be able to maintain Our usual top spots.

    I don't see much use for MStorm in this environment. Not to mention that Your proposed team will be weak in Yellow, Purple and Blue.

    MStorm just for general board clearing & AP generation. True, it falls far short of a rainbow team, but I think its relatively high damage & good board control makes it usable.

    How did you put your tank team in? Did you start a fight and retreat, or did you win one?
    They did change how to tank. Retreating doesnt cut it, now you have to win a fight for that team to show.

    You enter LR when they start and leave one seed lvl1 team for later. Once You reach 100pts (for ISO), You change Your team for a weak one and defeat this seed team.

    Human torch will likely only be useful as meat shield at 1/1/1, even when buffed into the stratosphere. Too low damage numbers on the first cover level to scale to any serious hurt.

    Bagman, since he's the only one with an active purple in this event? icon_twisted.gif

    About that tanking business, I started losing some right after I posted about it. I guess it just took longer than usual for some reason. It probably had to do with me missing last LR's due to being busy and my MMR had gotten pretty high and I wasn't showing up on others nodes.

    With no healers and no stunners other than hawkeye, this event is going to be rough. I'll need to prioritize keeping my scaling down as much as possible.

    That said, probably will put some iso into BP and run BP, Wolvie, M.Storm. Typical match I expect: cycle AP/env tiles with M.Storm green/red until 12 black ap, drop Battleplan, using up env AP generated from Storm MotE, drop Wolvie strike tiles if any green/red remaining, Rage of the Panther, Defense Grid if available, mop up. Wolvie is mostly there to tank M.Storms colors.

    Also, a word of warning. Psylocke doesn't work as well with ** Wolvie as you might expect since if Wolvie has put out three or more red strike tiles, she won't create one herself. This can be pretty hard to control, ideally you want to use Wolvie's green with 8 red ap or less if you want to use Psy's red right after to generate a strike tile.

    i may try to get torch covers with the 10 pack, depending on what the other covers are.. i think i'm good everywhere else. with the rosters the way they are this is the perfect event to play the pve and pvp at the same time because the unused 3* can do pvp while the others do pve
