  • Guess I should stop being lazy and get my last villian cover red rags. In before rewards butcher. You know it's going to happen.

    How much effort are you willing to put in to get a red, since you have to finish top 8?


    If they haven't nerfed the packs yet, I'm planning on getting several of them since I've got enough green Rags. Only ones I don't need ATM are that and black Hood.
  • They killed LR rewards for heroes last week; I could easily see them doing villains the same way this week. LRs will turn into everybody putting in their tank teams and then waiting for attacks that never come. Note: if Yelena and/or Bagman are on my team, feel free to attack without fear of retaliation.

    Even now, putting in 45 minutes or a half hour to crank to top50 and get two Heroics seems like it's not a BAD deal...

    If the rewards are as uninspiring as last week, my plan is to go for 100 or 250 points, then tank every round. My time is worth more than a couple of heroics or faux diabolical tokens (i.e. "increased chance").

    Doesn't CMags Red require Top 2? I thought Blue was the top 8 prize?

    Yes to both, which is why my Mags is currently 4/1/5. icon_e_sad.gif

    He is going for his last red Rag cover. Let's hope top 8 still gives that instead of two "new" Diabolical tokens that mostly give to Daken and Bullseye.
  • Well its official. They nerfed these one's too. icon_cry.gif
  • And our fears are confirmed. Super sucktastic Diabolical tokens for all.

    These really are evil.
  • Tokens, tokens everywhere! icon_mad.gif

    1.7% chance for a villain... are you kidding me? This is idiotic.

    How can anyone be surprised? After last week's hero LRs this was to be expected.
    Still, sucks for people gunning for a specific cover.

    Yeah, why even bother calling them Courageous and Diabolical anymore?

    For all intents and purposes they are fractionally better Heroic tokens.

    Yay for another week of Iso farming and Heroic tokens! I guess I ain't gettin' those last two blue CMags covers anytime soon. icon_e_biggrin.gificon_cry.gif
  • **** that, I knew it...

    I better farm that LRs right now, because I'll surely get that one specific Hood cover I'm missing..... /s

    What I find the most infuriating is the fact that Lightning rounds are probably the most competitive event in this whole game but now the rewards are total ****. You're fighting anyone who's participating, there are no brackets, its tough as hell to place well. If they want to keep those rewards, make some brackets because it is way too aggravating too fight for 90 minutes to get another ** I don't need.
  • I won 6 matches from people attacking and retreating to me in the first 15 minutes. And without even looking I knew that meant tokens had replaced covers.
