how to tank nowadays?

Ok, how do we tank nowadays? I used to tank in LRs (get 150-200 pts and then beat Freecager@ge with a couple of my lvl6 2stars. Does not seem to work anymore... Now I constantly face lvl141 teams no matter how many rounds other players krush me. Not that I complain or anything (running several maxed 3stars, inluding Patch, C Mag and Spidey) - just asking out of curiosity..

There has been a change to the matchmaking process which has all but negated the effects of tanking. I for one couldn't be happier. Losing on purpose should not be encouraged and was one of the most broken aspects of the game.

So I just suicide my roster several times to lower my mmr?

I hope that works, because I've been doing that for a day or two now.

They've also introduced stronger bots. It used to be feature character(900 or so pts) and two lessers with around 150-300 pts each. If i started right at the beginning of a LR, i could get 300-400 pts easy from them, and then drop in a team that was set to fail on the node I was saving as my tank mode.

Now I am getting bots that are on par with my team, so it makes it harder to push up and then tank because my tank team cannot take them down.

...what? I've never seen a seed team with more than 25 points. And what are you talking about with different points on the same team?

I think he is talking about health points. 300 for lvl 1 character and 900+ for feature character.
