That may be true but having a Thor with 11000hp and a BP that can do 1300 damage to the entire team it seems unlikely. It's just a balancing issue they need to fix. Max level players should face other max level players. Mid tier players should face other mid tier players, and so on... Seems like common sense.

Until you outperform your peers and your MMR rating goes up. If you don't want your rating so high, fight those battles against harder teams and lose. If you win all the time your MMR rating will go up. What, you think you should get to beat up on weak teams for your entire time playing the game?

After all the point of these tournaments is to give an incentive for people to get whoever is featured and if it immediately matched you up against someone with an equally weak (or strong) featured hero that kind of defeats any incentive to spend on those guys. I always thought it's pretty funny people complain about opponents are too hard but don't actually lose to them. What, is the game supposed to look at your record, sees virtually no losses, and just decide that you actually suck and spontaneously lower the difficulty of your opponents? If the opponents are too hard, the game can't possibly know about them until you lose. I'm guessing defensive losses counts as a loss too, but I'd think offensive losses have a bigger weight, since everyone loses a bunch defensively all the time.

If it did, there would be no incentive to level whoever is featured if all that means is you immediately get matched up with someone else who also has a level 141 Thor or anyone else. For example I can see that in the Daredevil tournament, the crazy guys that leveled him up to level 100 does retain an advantage throughout the entire tournament.

For example I can see that in the Daredevil tournament, the crazy guys that leveled him up to level 100 does retain an advantage throughout the entire tournament. Makes sense. But man it's tough. When I had a decent roster of lvl 85's I was consistently placing in the top 20 and for the most part, seeing opponents around that level. Nothing really changed much between tournaments. I was facing a pretty consistent roster of opponents for a month or so. Then right after I bumped up Patch and Punisher to 100 it jumped from lvl 85 Thors/OBW combos to lvl 141 Hulk Spidey Combos. Seems like my MMR jumped a step. Hence the rant.
