    Got a heroic token in the daily rewards - Purple Bullseye
    Got a heroic token in the punisher LR - Purple Bullseye

    Most of my 2*s aren't fully covered yet. Hell, Bullseye himself is at 5/2. (Bagman and Cap are of course fully covered) Why are half of my 2* pulls purple Bullseye

    Finally got a decent 3* up to 110 (Punisher) and got home from work at 5:50. Immediately jumped into the LR for a 3* cover. Was hoping for guaranteed Pun covers, but oh well. Ended up 11th. Was looking forward to my 3*. Didn't notice the nerf, just went to the token and clicked.

    BAGMAN.

    **** BAGMAN.

    So pissed off right now. Right after the **** up progression rewards, this is a massive kick in the teeth.

    Wow, hero lightning rounds are so much better than villain ones for tanking.

    Did you remember to swap out your featured hero for the stock level 15 character? Sometimes I see Bag-Man with a level 141 Punisher and I know someone had a brain fart.

    Yes I did. Unfortunately people just haven't hit me all. Don't know what I should do. Tank in shield training?

    Once you've lowered your mmr enough, your tank team stops working - the opposition is too low leveled themselves.

    Is "My Hero" a forumer? I whacked him once when he popped into my queue but I do not want to hassle the guy if he is really going for tokens.

    With the current system it might be actually better to get Top 50 rather than Top 25.

    2 Heroic > 1 Courageous imo.

    This is probably true if you still need many 2* covers. If you need few 2* then the Courageous token is better for it's increased chance at 3*s. Right now I am only looking for OWB covers or 3*, the rest is vendor, so I'd rather have 1 Courageous than 2 Heroic.

    If a Courageous is literally "Double chance of featured [3* heroes]", then it's only a hair better than two Heroics for getting a 3*, though obviously its 3* pool is limited to the featured heroes, not all 3*s. The featured vs non-featured difference aside, 2 Heroics is essentially equal to a Courageous + 250 Iso.

    No, it'd be strictly better if it's only 2 time the chance, as stated, since you can sell the other 2* for extra ISO

    Hmm, is there a mathematician out there?

    Assuming that Courageous provides 2x of featured, we assume it's 10% right.

    Is 2x 5% better than 1x 10% (which is not really 10% because only the featured Heroes have 2x chance).

    But someone pulled Doom, IW and Psylocke from their Courageous 10-pack, none of these are featured in hero rounds.

    That's incorrect. I just pulled a black BP from a courageous token and I believe I read earlier that someone pulled a LT, so the 3* pool is not restricted to the featured 3* heroes. You really need more empirical data to determine what the exact 3* featured % vs other 3* %.

    Statistics don't mean a jot if you're getting nothing but 2**vendor trash because in terms of effort the 2 heroics are going to better than the 1 courageous token. Statistically and psychologically, based on the expectation of token rewards more people are going to be disappointed with their pulls (which is what I was when I pulled a bullseye from buying a token yesterday)

    Ignoring the parenthetical statement, "2x 5%" is actually a 9.75% chance of at least 1 3*, which includes a 0.25% chance of 2x 3*. Whether that's (slightly) better or (slightly) worse depends on your personal proclivities.
