    Can we make super LR all LR going forward! Each week a different buffed 4*. Just make sure they are not in the weekly buff list.

    Lrs run for 48h from start to finish. Would be great if the middle 16h every week or something like that were made super LRs with a rotating 4*.

    I remember enjoying these but...it's been soooooo long that I'll need to dip in to remind myself why.

    Very much looking forward to this! A very welcome return.

    Seems like a great new opportunity. I just wish I didn't work so I could actually participate in more LR icon_evil.gif

    I don't really see this as "rich getting richer". The old Lightning round model handed out around 150 Heroic tokens to the entire player base, and each round easily had over 1000 participants. This model gives Elite tokens to the top 40% of the players - even if we assume only 1000 players participate in the entire Lightning round that's 400 Elite tokens being handed out. For the entire player base, that's a whole lot of more tokens being handed out (though I am going to miss getting two Heroics for a good finish).
    Being able to get the Carol tokens are going to depend a lot on who the other 19 people you get bracketed with are, to be sure, but I don't Think all the tokens will go to only top level players. And let's not forget that only 1 token in 25 are going to have a 4* Carol cover...

    Sure, because I have great chances to beat 4* and 5* rosters with my 3* characters...

    The only people you need to beat are the others in your bracket, scoring-wise. The players not in your bracket are irrelevant.

    it's 20 people. Chances are you will be in the pool with 3* players like yourself. Then you will have to outgrind them. And in another one you might end up with 20 5* players. But your opponents will be from general pool, not the 20 you compete in the bracket. There is high probability that more players will take part in this exerciser compared to regular ones.

    Yep! I think you'll rank way better than you normally do.

    I'm sure you can get 20th place at least...Maybe better!

    Huh. Looks like they use the old score calculation with 25 points being the default instead of 38. Bummer.
