A possible fix to make PVE enjoyable for 5* players

OneLastGambit

OK so I read on the forum today (not for the first time) that 5* players get really restricted to using just their 5* toys due to scaling.

These wonderful cavaliers charged into the 5* zone lances steady to slay all foes only to find the foes have become insufferably difficult and could only be dealt with using their 5* characters. Surely the point of creating the 5* tier wasn't to invalidate all tiers below it?

I thought about this and a number of solutions have been suggested before to fix this but obviously was not the devs brand of vodka or we would all be praising this courageous move.
The goal of this thought experiment is thus - How to make PVE more enjoyable for 5* players?

So I took something currently under debate (Roster restriction in heroics) and something which we all crave (control over our rosters) and came up with....

De-Selectable Tiers

Here's how it works. At the start of any pve you would be allowed to select which tiers you would be able to use for said event. Anything which is not selected would be locked out for the entire event and therefore not contribute towards scaling.

Simple right?

"But Gambit why de-select an entire tier!" I hear you cry. The answer is simple. If you could deselect just a couple of characters, it would enable you to lower your scaling while still being able to pummel your way to 1st place with ease Using those Champed 5s. Remember the goal of this experiment is not to make PVE easier for 5* players - it's to make it more fun

"OK maybe you're right on that one, but why not just be able to deselect per node gambit!" I hear you shout again. Simples, one could simply deselect their 5* toys for the hardest nodes whilst enabling them for the easiest ones allowing them to easily game that system. It's not about making it easier.

To me, this seems like a good halfway point to enable 5* players to use a larger variety of their roster whilst simultaneously not handing them a distinct advantage over everyone else.

some people might point the finger at the people who charged into 5* territory and say they did it to themselves. I say why point fingers? I want everyone to have fun playing, not just me. And even if you don't ascribe to that kind of selfless mentality then look at it this way... we are all going to get to 5* land eventually - wouldn't you rather it be kinda nice and fun when you do?
