    Do you have a classic 5* at 2/5/5?  Well you are clearly a John Galt-ian titan of industry, completely worthy of any and all  good fortune that could possibly be heaped upon you.  You can buy out that 5* and champ them sometime in the next several weeks for 250 cp.

    Do you have a classic 5* at  5/5/2?  Well you're a bad person and you should feel bad.  You get to wait a year to finish your 5*, assuming this system even lasts that long.

    Why is this a good outcome?

    Let us buy one cover for the featured 5* per event, but rotate the color available in the heroes for hire store every day.  what purpose is served by arbitrarily favoring  (by a vast margin) those players who need top covers over those players who need bottom covers?
    Or just allow us to pick which cover but be limited to one.

    Sadly, my 5/5/2 Goblin will receive no love. I'll just tack this to the list of grievances.
    1.pvp win reward system
    2. Boosted, broken Gambit
    3. HfH system

    Or, to split the difference (since cycling each color one at a time puts different rarity on covers than letting us pick between them each time) at least let people pick WHERE their cycle starts. So the 5/5/2 people could just start with the third cover instead.

    With the random HfH store pop-ups we get for 4*, they've proven they can target us with colors we need, why not just guarantee the 5* option will not be a color you already have 5 of?
    It can default to the first color, but if the player already has five of that one, then move on to the next color.

    No, that may make people with a 5/4/0 unhappy. So we can change it to first check for zeroes, then check for less than 5....

    No, then someone with a 2/0/0 will complain that they wanted the other color they had zero in, or someone with a 4/5/1 won't want the first color.....

    .....MPQ is hard.

    No one likes bottoms. They are there for a reason.
    That's what she said?

    Everyone likes bottom covers, though? Right? Right??

    Well... at least the guys in Latest will fly (relatively speaking) through that list pretty fast, I guess.
    Actually He said it.
