Villain Lightning Rounds 4-15 to 4-17

So... just look for those names over and over again?

Rich does are the seed teams, they appear when you enter the event, so if you enter the event right from the first minute you'll see them. You will rack up about 6-8 matches usually before you start seeing the regular playing base

Aah, okay... That'll at least give me a base of points, but people still seem to get a lot of points really quickly in these things.

Ugh, and even the ridiculous games happen in the LRs.

Some people also field very fast killing teams, e.g. Patch/Punisher + CMags, not to mention the increased match damage that simply comes from higher-level characters.

Hehe, I'm pretty sure such games are happening less now, with the nerfed tokens.

Really? Huh... I need to get back into the SHIELD Training and LRs for the Iso-8 then.

And they're slightly less annoying in the LRs since I can have OBW there to help with healing.

The Hood LR that's going on right now was behaving very strange for me. I kept getting the seed teams over and over, until they were awarding 10 points at a time. When they finally went away and I had actual players in my queues, I'd risen up to 240 points.
Not that I'm complaining...

I played four matches and a "real" team came up, so I put in my tank team... and then noticed kicksthatkick had replaced freerangecage (who I had beat with my tank team). I didn't feel like redoing the tank team missions, but something odd does seem to be going on.

As much as I dislike the token switch, I have picked up two Psylocke covers and a Lazy Thor in the last 24 hours. This does eliminate the complaining when people with maxed villains compete to win in LR.

People were complaining about rewards in the Villian lightning rounds because they have maxed villains? Oh the horror!!!! Does D3 only cater to the richest 1%?

Let us know how you feel when you pull a bagman token.

I don't think you read that correctly...

I've seen that happen now and then, I think it means there's not enough people in your MMR yet to just show players.

Perhaps I did. No one's perfect, but I don't think I misunderstood.

What else would this mean?

Reading Comprehension Epic Fail on your part.

People (probably you) were complaining when people with maxed villains used to compete in the LR. Now there's no more reason to complain about them, because the tokens have uses for those with maxed villains whereas the villain covers did not.

Lucky yous, who pulled anything nice from a nerf token. I guess I will get one-two useful covers in the last LR of this week, just like last week. Not complaining... ISO is still great, I'm looking to push the Hulk past 100 levels tomorrow.

I was just attacked by Acace, that player has one impressive roster. Lots of maxed 141's.

Maybe I'm not understanding your statement, either. But, the original statement says that the people with low-mid level rosters were complaining about people with maxed villains competing in LRs. Your statement makes it seem like the people that were complaining were the ones with maxed villains.

I will not be pushing for #1-2 this round and I am fine with either diabolical or Heroic tokens. I will not retaliate if anyone looking to place attacks me.

EDIT: Or not; that is fine too.

It does appear I did misunderstand Ghasts statement. Also, I've never complained about people with maxed villain covers competing in the Lightning Rounds andnever noticed too many complaints about that issue. Seriously, was that so much of a problem that D3 decided to change the reward structure, scaling back by 1000%?!? No, I'm guessing it was done because they want to minimize rewards so that people spend more money.

What I am complaining about now is the absurd reduction in rewards in villain lighting rounds. What I usually complain about is poor communication & poor customer service. It's pretty ballsy and rude to change the reward structure after it's been the same for months & then not say anything about it.

@Nogard, you were literally the only person who attacked me the entire round (Dhaden).

Should I be happy or irritated that I have gotten almost enough covers to max Venom and Juggernaut from these LRs. Just need 2 purple Venoms and 2 red Juggernauts now.
