      So our rosters are fairly equal. I've put a bit of money in on occasions and bought a handful of covers (last 2 OBW Black & a BP Black), so really the only difference has to be in playstyles and maybe the use of Spidey. Sad that that's where the game is.

      I'm guessing so. I mean, I joined the forum early in my playing, so I learned very quickly not to grind, etc. I'm currently on day 69 of my MPQ journey. But I'm guessing it's all related to how either you or I play, what we've played, how often we played, what characters used, etc, etc. I understand that.

      But, in the last few events - I was 21st in my bracket in the Hunt, top 10 in Hot Shot, #2 in Doctors Orders, #1 in Top Gun, have over 5k in Season 1, and top 8 in Season 1 right now, and have 811 in AoO as well. So, I do generally play a few hours each day, and try to spread out what I play between events as best as I can, but focus on what is ending soonest, etc. For instance, I'm a little behind right now in the Sim, have almost 22.5k in it.

      So, I also think it must have to do with how frequent of a player I am, my placements, etc. At least, some of that must be being applied to my overall MMR. Speaking of which - it might not be an overly bad idea for there to be a box/tab in the game that would show us what our current MMR is. Probably won't happen, but at least then we could actively see what causes it to go up/down, etc.

      Didn't you mean Ragnarok/Patch/Hulk?

      Edit:
      Frubzy, I don't think skipping the event will help, but then again Support could be mistaken and skipping the event can actually help? I already started, so we will see if my scaling persists. I fully expect to see lvl 395 by the 3rd sub.

      Wait, you guys think there is a conspiracy theory to scale high all the accounts with a high level Spidey, is that the gist of what I'm reading here...?

      Aw, I love you, Forums. Hehe.

      hardeeharhar.... lol. I didn't say "conspiracy"... but, now that you said it - I'm sure someone will run off with that theory and post some video's on YouTube about the "Conspiracy of MPQ" or something.

      I don't think it's any type of conspiracy, just think it happens with this scaling system. It must take certain things into account. I was mainly thinking that maybe because I spent HP to buy covers for both HT and Spidey to have 5 in red/green for HT and 5 in blue for Spidey, that the auto-scaling system was triggers thinking that I'm more leveled than maybe I really am, if that makes sense.

      We are, after all, talking about Skynet controlling the gameplay and scaling of MPQ here... right? When does the Arnoldanator become a character?

      well i did it with falcon, wolverine and thor and i barely won. my captain america isn't well covered. He onlly has two covers, one yellow and one red so.
      Falcon, Wolverine and Thor have next to no board control, you rather want original Black Widow/modern Black Widow/either Storm/Magneto Marvel Now!/classic Hawkeye/heck, even Moonstone or Bag-Man with you. You are not going to take any damage from the goons if you can remove/delay the countdown tiles.

      Nope, I meant the OBW/Ares/IM40 ... turns out I had smooshed those 2 nodes together in my mind. Ewww.

      Day at least 115 here - I'm sure the daily rewards never quite caught up with me after the glitch.

      Top100 Hulk (L.Thor release), T2 Unstable Iso, 3rd in Hunt. Usually t10 and regularly #1 in PvP (including HotShot & Doom), but am trailing so far in the Season as I have <1000 in the Simulator.

      I guess we play a similar amount, but maybe you've developed a bit faster. TBH it's hard to see much difference other than the Spidey....!

      problem is my original black widow is too low leveled she's only level 19, i got rid of modern black widow, and i only have storm so yeah i can only rely on storm then next time. <,< i got rid of moonstone also.....

      It's supposed to be this way to presumably show off Falcon

      i'm guessing it's supposed to be that way. Sim 02 was 25 my first run through as well.

      Try to keep mBW next time you get her covers, if you don't have cStorm at a usable state yet (I believe you do though?). Having a stunner is very helpful. cStorm has both stun/AoE damage and board control.

      classic storm is currently at 32 and can onl go up to i believe 52ish. I need to work on getting iso by going back to fighting in the shield season as im doing this event also

      the reason i got rid of MBW was because i went back to read that its better to spec her at 3/5 so that was why i got rid of her. to redue her covers

      I'm not going to rule out a glitch in the coding accidentally eliminating the taking into account all other characters, which customer service wouldn't be aware of, so...I have a 92 Spidey and a 41 Human Torch, add together, divide by 2, equals 66. I've only run through both subevents once and starting out the easy mode was in the 30's and the hard mode was in the 60's. (You don't want to know how they've scaled for me, let me just say that I'm smiling right now. This is almost as hilarious as six months ago when if I played an event for an hour around 1 pm EST, every node was at level 16 and all prizes were Modern Hawkeye covers. I always thought that was weird and I've never seen anyone else mention it.)

      any word on who the buffed character is next set of subs? (last sim had a different major buff each subset)

      Omg. I'm slaving away using boosts to get to 6th in my main SIM. The rest of the top ten is mostly level 50 one star players. I'm pretty sure were playing completely different games. I would love to know what level enemies they get to fight.

      Why on earth are you "slaving away" and using boosts to get to sixth in your main when 50th and 6th are the same rewards, excluding 500 iso?

      6th is where I got to before noticing my competition was mostly 1 star heroes. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word slave. Sorry
