A Modest Proposal for New Releases

What would it take to actually set up the color spreads on a new release so that people who get the most likely rewards actually get one of each color? You know PVE T100 = First color, PVE Alliance reward = 2nd cover, PVP Progression = 3rd cover? This is stupidly annoying. It also could benefit D3. It would make people a lot happier to have a character usable for subsequent events, and if there is a really good character, people might actually whale some with CP directly if they could actually, you know, buy the covers. (And no, I wouldn't do that, but I know some would.)

    That would make too much sense.. they want her with 0/5/5 builds

    Actually Shield Simulator grants the first cover for the new release

    They WANT un-even builds, because that puts you in a bind, and being in a bind is part of you pressure people into spending. A 2/5/5 build where you pull one of the second or third colors makes you more inclined to push for that first cover to prevent waste. It's deliberate.

    One problem with Shield Simulator is that we only get one cover when two characters rotate in the same season. Very likely to be a problem with Black Panther and Shuri. Odds are we'll get both this season, so we won't get a yellow Black Panther in Sim next season, because the cover for 2k points will be Shuri. So far that's not a problem they've chosen to "fix".

    Something to remember is it use to be alliance reward was the same color for top placement.  This cause a severe amount of mercing for top 100 alliance placement and massive amounts of player shuffling.  They switched the alliance placement to be the same as the top 100 placement and at the time significantly reduced the amount of mercing in alliances.   What they need to do is make the top placement be part of the progression on the next PVE.
