His roster is pretty much nothing. I have 3 141's in my team and he was hitting me quicker than I could hit him. Prolly gonna report him right now but I just reported slobofix a couple hours ago and I don't want them to ignore me lol.

He retal'd successfully with seconds to go, though.

Twice were fairly close together (but not so fast it wasn't possible) and once was with about 2 mins to go (<1 min displayed). I had to beat him within 2 mins to keep hold of top 8 spot and managed it with only about 5-10 sec to spare. I was using 113 Magneto (buffed to 169ish), 110 Hood (buffed to 165ish), 75 Doom (buffed to 112ish).

If I wanted to work on my C.Mags I would enter the appropriate lightning round, now I have the exact same chance of getting Classic Magneto covers from Ragnaroks lightning rounds as I do Dr. Dooms. As has been stated before Lightning Rounds are an absolute feeding frenzy in a shark tank, but when you finally got those elusive covers that you had been coveting for so long it was worth it as you knew you had worked hard for them. Now it seems that no matter how much effort you put in you may never get that last blue Classic Magneto cover unless a random number generator goes in your favour. Long story short this is a piss poor decision that needs to be changed back as soon as possible.

Long story short this is a piss poor decision that needs to be changed back as soon as possible. This change is crapola. I sure am happy I got my Magneto and Doom covers when I did. It took 3-4 months of playing this game to be able to finally finish in the top in a Lightning Round and now the rewards are... well awful. Thanks, but no thanks, I won't be grinding for 90 minutes for a small chance at the cover that was previously offered. It is painfully obvious that D3 is pulling back ISO and cover rewards and now the Villain Lightning Round. Let's face it, THEY JUST WANT YOUR DAMN MONEY$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. These are obvious attempts to increase their profits and squeeze more money out of you. Here are some of the recent changes scaling back rewards: 1. Taking away the "guaranteed hero or villain" in the 10 packs and now offering 25% at a 3* with each cover 2. One Cover reward is now only available to top alliances in each event 3. Lower ISO rewards (like the current Venom heroic mission offering 70, 100 and 200 ISO instead of 100, 250 and 500) Why is it that D3 neglects to share this information in the patch notes and updates? It is pretty backhanded and slimy. I will never spend any money$ on this game. I paid my $6-7 for cover slots early on, but they can go eff themselves if they think I'm going to feed their ****.

Phantron wrote: I always suspected LR is meant to be the least valuable tournament in terms of reward, and I'm surprised it took this long for the 3* covers to go away. The fact is that despite players claim this is some kind of endgame content, it's always supposed to be the least valuable tournament which is why the prizes suck now. It just took a very long time for D3 to realize that the rewards they were giving out is way too good. If you were lucky and won back then, consider yourself lucky (I did too).
Copps wrote: With the needed rewards now what are the chances we could get full time lightning rounds as a constant way to just play the game. Is there really a good reason to restrict these to 3 weekdays when lots of people are working.

No Chopstuck, no Kicksthatkick, no Pyromantic, no FreeRangeCage (sniff - my favorite). I may need to figure out an alternate tank team if it needs to be able to take out Bacon Magic - Bagman and Yelena won't work. What's good on offense but useless on defense?
