Felt like I was Usaine Bolt racing against a high school sports team, laughing at them from the finish line and telling them to keep up. Once I reached about 750 though it became dull. Past 800 and it was tedious as all hell. I reached 853 and somehow got hit for 53 points. I guess I was in someone's queue or something from when I was lower in the ranks. I groaned loudly knowing it would take 3-6 fights to get to where I was before. I slowly crawled up to 899 and prayed to the Gods that I wouldn't get hit again while doing this final 9 point fight. Thankfully I wasn't and got that Red Hulk champ level. While I did enjoy the plus side of not being hit as I climbed to 900 because I'd quickly moved out of the area the MMR was targetting, I did not enjoy the abysmally slow crawl. Nor did I enjoy the feeling of stoping on newbie teams who had no way to really retalliate against me.

Surely as a 4* player you don't feel entitled to placement covers over 5* players, right? certainly not the ones who put as much or nearly as much effort as the 4* or transitioner, no. but something is a little off when one 5* champ allows you to see all the big point grills out there and you can breeze up to 2k and shield out for the event. yes I think a 4* roster or a transitioner who spends 6-8-10 shields deserves 5th over a guy who happens to have had covers fall better for him who gets 2k in a couple hours. sporting a 405 or 420 shouldn't preclude you from the concept of competing with someone with a 450. and that's what this mmr did. so if I'm hearing you right. those last 2 or 3 covers on a 5 entitles you to free placement for a fraction of the work. right? sorry, don't agree with that.
