S.H.I.E.L.D. Training Headaches

I've been working on S.H.I.E.L.D. Training on and off lately so i can upgrade to a 3* healer (Spidey) and seem to be stuck in a perpetual 3 steps forward, 3 steps back scenario every time i try to dig in and move up in the ranks.

Whenever i break the point threshold of where i left off on my last attempt, points awarded drop from an average of 19 - 25 to like 9 - 12 points per win. To make matters more frustrating, i lose all progression after only a short period of time, losing approx. 30+ points per loss when i'm not actively playing.

Is it possible that my play style is the reason the points drop per win once i hit my last max point count?

My primary team
Lvl 128 Punisher - 3/4/5
Lvl 115 Iron Man (Model 40) - 4/2/5
Lvl 85 Orig Black Widow - 4/5/4*

Alternates rotated in when Health Packs are running low
Lvl 89 Patch - 4/3/2
Lvl 80 Magneto (MN!) - 3/5/5
Lvl 70 Hulk - 5/1/2

*I'm currently Working to respec OBW to 3/5/5 from 5/5/3

At this point I just about wish they would allow use of shields in training mode so i can get through this damn thing. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated.

    You should give up on Shield Training: It's not actually possible to get enough points to get the later progression awards such as Spidey. If you look at the leaderboards, the first place guy only has 1400 points, and with good reason: if you get any higher, people will attack you and lower your point totals.

    They did, when shields were first introduced, and a bunch of people just tore through it. Then they took them away....

    You're not going to manage it, I'm afraid. Even if no-one retaliated on you (I'm kind of surprised people still do that much, considering how useless SHIELD training is beyond low levels), once you reached the top of the leaderboard, you wouldn't find matches giving you enough points to get to the three-star prizes.

    rewards can't be reashed,i face the wall at 1800 pts , first place, with 2-8 points for win ( free easy win ) but -30 or -40 for every lose and time u get 3 win, 1 or 2 ppl will defeat you.

    Don't bother with S.H.I.E.L.D. Training. The times when you could get some valuable covers from it are long gone, and even then it wasn't a piece of cake to get there. With the current state of the event, its sole purpose is for tanking. Until the developers come up with some serious revamp for the tourney, it's not worth your effort.

    Sounds like the broken S.H.I.E.L.D. Training is in dire need of some 'funbalancing' by the devs.

    Thanks for the feedback, folks.
