edited November 2017 in MPQ General Discussion
I know I have posted a lot of serious posts with the game, so I wanted to have some actual fun with one. 

Now that we see that D3/Demi will be giving out 5* covers from champ rewards of 4*, let's have some fun and guess where you think this will go. 

Here is the list:

Silver Surfer
Phoenix
Old Man Logan
Black Suit Spider-Man
Green Gobin
IM46
Cap
Banner 
Black Widow
Dr Strange
Black Panther
HawkEye
StarLord
Doc Ock
DareDevil
Gambit
Thor  

Black Bolt <- Medusa Confimed 
Thanos <- Gamora Confirmed 
Peter Parker <- Vulture Confirmed

Post your thoughts below and let's see what happens.

    Banner - **** and **** Hulk
    Black Widow - Agent Coulson or Nick Fury
    Dr Strange -Mordo
    Black Panther - Winter Soldier

    Also Main Event Hulk could give Banner.

    I'm thinking they are trying to steer clear from older 4* as newer players will struggle for their covers. Medusa, Gamora and Vulture seem to bear this out, but quite a small sample size so could be wrong.

    Rogue > Gambit
    Grocket > Starlord
    Sandman > Ock are my guesses at next 3.

    Yeah so far all of the named heroes have benefitted from vaulting. So I think Peggy is more likely than buck for cap, riri and not hb for cap and so on. Not as sure about really old fives like oml surfer and Phoenix though since they match so well with older fours.

    Sandman > Ock
    Mordo > Strange
    Venom > BSSM 
    Peggy > Cap
    Fury > Widow
    Cyclops > Phoenix

    Already mentioned who I thought should give who here, but one thing I hope that will come out of this (that probably won't) is that 3*s rewards get updated to give 6 4* covers as well. Feels odd that 2*s get 50 champ levels and give you three 3* covers and 4*s get 100 champ levels and give six 5* covers, but 3*s get 100 champ levels and only give three 4* covers.

    There is no way they would release as many 5*s as 4*s. Does having 2 feeders for each 5* is too many? That’s 12x covers for an optimal 4/4/4 setup and any single pull (or bonus heroes) would complete a 5*. Too good to implement? We’ve already identified possible multiple 4*s feeding a single 5* so it’s not really far fetched. Though taking RNG away completely is a long shot. Regardless of how long it would take a typical player to max 2x 4*s for those covers.

    I've seen Coulson/Fury for Natasha, Quake could work as well if you're going for the Shield angle.

    And I know people are sticklers for matching characters (when there's no reason to do so, as different versions of the same character have nothing to do with each other outside of not being usable at the same time), but I like Yondu -> 5* Star Lord and Main Event Hulk -> Gladiator Thor better for the thematic link.

    Phoenix - X-Force Wolverine
    OML - X-23
    BSSM - Venom
    Green Goblin - Carnage
    Iron Man - Riri
    Cap - Winter Soldier
    Banner - Hulkbuster
    Black Widow - Fury
    Strange - Mordo
    Black Panther - Mr Fantastic
    Hawkeye - Kate Bishop
    Star Lord - Yondu
    Daredevil - Elektra
    Gambit - Rogue
    Thor - Main Event Hulk

    There should be multiple 4*s leading to 1 5* like when championing was first introduced:

    Phoenix - JG, Cyke, Professor X
    Old Man Logan - XFW, X23, XFDP
    Black Suit Spider-Man - Venom, Agent Venom, GR
    Green Goblin - KP, Iron Patriot, Spidergwen
    IM46 - IMHB, Riri, War Machine
    Cap - Peggy, Falcap, Cap Marvel
    Banner - Hulk, Cho, Rhulk
    Black Widow - Fury, Quake, Punisher
    Dr Strange - Mordo, Nova, C&D
    Black Panther - WS, Moonknight, Blade
    HawkEye - Kate, Coulson, Mockingbird
    StarLord - SL, Grocket, Yondu
    Doc Ock - Carnage, Sandman, Gwenpool
    DareDevil - Elektra, IF, Cage
    Gambit - Rogue, Nightcrawler, Iceman
    Thor - Thor, Ant-Man, Wasp

    Black Bolt <- Medusa, Lockjaw

    I like the Yondu angle.  That's great.

    @Punisher5784 I hope they don't do that. Reason is that would lead to a lot of high end 5*.  This would only mean that they would introduce 6*, which to be is not a good thing.  The rumors of 6* have been around since 5* were released.

    6*s are coming.. it's going to happen. There will be a new token that gives 5*s with a small chance of 6*. CL10 will have 5* placement with double 4* progression for PvE. 4* PvP is coming because most vets have fully champed 3*s. We'll start seeing 6/4* duel releases.

    I struggled with this question too.  Since there are more than double as many 4* as 5* (and growing faster) you would think they would have two.  But if there were going to have 2 per  you'd think they'd only give 3 per because 12 is too generous.

    People (myself included) have pondered whether this change is paving the road for 6*s.  If it is, maybe there will be much fewer 4* releases in the future.  Rotation might change to 6/5/5 with the occasional 6* copied to 4*.  That would allow the numbers to eventually balance out.

    Of course, who saw 60 4*s in our future back when Thor and Elektra were being released?
