    Probably in here many times: I have to keep buying roster slots for my 3*'s, because the first one is at 266.
    No, I have a similar one though.

    I can't spend HP on roster spots for my THIRD copies of 2* anymore because I might need the HP for a HFH vault.

    (Though I'm not sure which I'd actually buy... even the 2500 deal seems like a lot; I'd NEVER buy the 3600).
    Why do you have any 2* copies? 
    Right?  Seems like this problem is easily solved by just selling 1 of the 144s
    I have one at 144 and I had second copies (another roster spot for each!) I was building up as well.  Once they get to about 131 (Heroic Token), I stopped leveling them and was going to roster THIRD copies with any 6th covers going to the 131 characters.  I really didn't spend my HP on anything (don't buy vaults because I only pull twos and rarely use shields (hop in late and push for an hour and a half) so it made sense to me to keep rostering twos so that way when I need a roster spot, iso, or HP, I could sell one like money in the bank.  Seemed like a cool idea, but way more expensive than I can afford.

    I ended up doing your solution, but it still hurt (hence first world problems).  I sold my 144s, and now just have 131s and dupes with a smattering of covers.

    I was thinking of starting a bank of 144s as well, but the release rate is so quick that I'm struggling to keep up with that alone.  Once I have all the 12 newest 4s champed, maybe then I can keep a bank of 144s to cash in for a vaulted 4* or a 5* when I need to, but I'm just not to that level of surplus yet.

    I built up 2* then 3*...  So just never sold the 2* unless I had one on the vine to replace it.

    As I said, Ive gone through them all at least 4 times now, nice little supply of 3* and HP.  Seems better value than just selling the covers (I know its a net iso defecit but the other rewards more than make up for it for me)

    Roster spots are precious though and Id never have more than one of the same 2*!
    Exact same for me.  Once I get to 144 and pull #145 I sell the old, roster the new and keep going.  I'm really not at all concerned about selling a 2* dupe cover because of some crazy 0/3/16 build (which I have actually had before), and don't care to keep track of which characters have dupes and go in and apply covers manually and all of that headache.

    When I have my finger on the tile to make a 5 tile match and Switch overwrites it with Arcane Incantation.  Happens so often I think it's deliberate.


    Seriously.


    This, except "matching away my strike/attack tiles that land on blue."

    Ha!  It IS a conspiracy!   ;)

    banks of 144s works better when you're hoarding for a group of latests and glorious 12 coverage happens slower.  that's what I'm doing.  up to 19 144s (but one is bagman and he doesn't really count).  when I start pulling i'll be selling them to champ 4s that others already have covered and champed (like avenom and Coulson and clagger).  I prefer

    All this talk of banking your 144s.... Maybe having max-championed characters should somehow score you interest, like in a real bank? A bit of extra ISO and HP each day to make it more valuable to keep then, instead of just immediately selling them to start up a new max-champ clone.

    This happens all the time, not necessarily on a match5, but just my next match. I swear the game knows where your looking...

    Nice to know it's not just me (sorry, misery loves company and all that!).  It's frustrating in a "Hey that's not really fair" kind of way.  

    Like Jarvind pointed out, often it drops that blue tile in a spot where it gets matched automatically.  Don't recall EVER seeing that happen when a Goon CD tile comes on the board.  Or any other characters CD tile for that matter.

    All that said, Switch and 5* Thanos still kick the tar out of most wave nodes so, yeah,  1st World Problem.

    I have another relating to Switch's Arcane Incantation tile, when she is on my team it feels like that tile always spawns to either make a match, is on a side, or worse in an corner.....

    1st world problems I just pulled my 13th Thanos cover and have 5 Mordo covers dying on the vine.  To champ them both I just need 550k 750k ISO.  
     No reason not to champ Mordo first. Just hold off pulling more until you have enough iso that pulling a 14th Thanos won't hurt too much.
    I forgot to mention I also had a 14th Thanos cover.  I ended up to champ them both by grinding down the prologue to get to another clearance level to champ my Thanos in time for my push in PVP

    Yeah, or you know what else happens?

    Instead of SWitch nonsense, some damn fool countdown tile BELOW that match 5 I'm eyeing somehow just conveniently hit 1 turn remaining...

    90% of the time it's my own Recharge tile that's the culprit, too!

    Two characters with 13 covers and need 365k for both of them, two covers due to expire in 12 days

    When you have 450,000 ISO and nothing to spend it on.
    I have over 1 million since January...but we can talk again when I get my first 13-covered 4*.
    Make room in the boat. Not complaining but yup, yesterday I realized the same thing. A ton of ISO and no one needs any? A great what the fudge conundrum.

    Makes me wonder if vaulting actually helps the ISO shortage in it's own strange way. Mmmm

    @Marine8394- Not really, it just focuses the ISO needs. New characters are still coming every two weeks and you occassionally get covers for older characters too.

    If there's a match I really want, I've started habitually moving my mouse to any other possible match than that one.

    On my phone and want to change the character I'm targeting but instead constantly bring up the characters info screen.

    Have 6 covers for a 4* in the queue waiting to champ, then suddenly getting enough covers to champ a different 4* but you don't have the iso-8 to level the character.
