    That's a huge change. You probably should have started off with that!

    Edit: Now that I think about it, as a PvE player it takes 6 clears to get 10 XP while PvP it will only be 5 matches to earn 10 XP. I would love to earn 2pts per PvE match without needing to fully clear it

    Does the 2xp apply to lightning round?

    I assume PLAY means WIN else this will be exploited to infinity

    "A Dark Obsession" is also an anagram of "Bad Oak Rosiness"

    Oak is a tree. Rosiness is like flowers, which grow from buds, or possibly rosy cheeks, like we see on children, so who do we know that's a naughty baby tree?

    BABY GROOT CONFIRMED

    That change should speed up shield ranks and help populate/usher in the higher CL brackets, nice.

    As a friend has noted, this kind of hurts those who frontrun in pvp.

    "A dark obsession!" The exclamation point adds excitement to the statement, meaning the character is excitable and energetic. Obsession is a perfume fragrance, so this is likely a girl. And dark is a property of light, so this is an energetic girl that works with light. It's Dazzler time!

    It': technically a versus match, so it should.

    Moreover, you don't get the XP in PVE unless you play the whole 6 matches. This is really good.

    I assume with "played" they mean "finished", i.e. getting to the reward screen afterwards. Conceding or force-quitting would bypass that and as such, it's not exploitable.

    Clarification would be helpful...because I immediately started trying to calculate in my head how many times I could tank with my 124 characters for XP.......

    You do realize that she is part of the X-Men and won't be in this game?

    A Dark Obsession clearly was the slogan for Chocos.

    Martian Manhunter confirmed

    Dazzler transcends the X-Men through the power of disco. But you're right that this isn't Dazzler.

    "A dark obsession!"

    It's clearly Darkhawk time, suckas!

    "Dark Obsession!" like in dark as in space, and obsession as in sitting in a chair and wanting stuff.

    Thanos confirmed.

    Dark obsession. As in obsessed with something dark. What is dark? The darkness of Death. Literally, there is a Marvel Universe character called Death. Who is obsessed with her the most? Why Deadpool, of course! And which character are the devs most obsessed with making themselves? New 5 star Deadpool confirmed!
