With cover swaps, people were finally able to not hoard and still cover most 5s. This is my biggest thing.I was able to actually play the game and keep it some what fresh and fun with newer 5's coming in since I hate hording. You bust a bunch of stuff open and don't really get to play and enjoy the characters leveling up...With the way 5's the swaps and LL worked I could play without hording and grow my roster and still be competitive.. now if I dont horde it feels like a huge waste... and it takes to long to get 5's to waste anymore time.

Borstock said: I like the idea behind this feature, but if you want to cover a new 5*, you absolutely have to hoard like a maniac, now. Combined with the decision to undo vaulting, this game just got reeeeeeeally slow.
Toweliesox said: Why you now have to hoard more for Brigby: Why would I pull latest tokens for something I'd need 5 to get 1 when before it was a even 1 for 1 trade. Now! You need to make sure when you do pull you need enough covers to make sure you can fully cover and any extras will just add to the levels for the person. For example: Say I have JJ at 5/1/1 and I just keep pulling her red over and over and over again (unlikely but does happen). Why would I keep pulling for her 25 at a time only to either A) trade in 5 for 1 (A terrible deal) B)Hoard until she's about to leave then pull like crazy hoping I pull enough to champ her and then add the saved covers to her later on. Either way you're hurting people for not hoarding.

thedarkphoenix said: bowla33 said: DarkPhx - because your chances of getting a particular 5 are still much higher. . This doesnt matter as much now though, paying 25 cp was worth it to me because of 2 things the chances of getting 1 of 3 5's and being able swap covers. It also meant I needed to horde a bit or really rush and push to get a character that I wanted before they went to classic's.Now why should I pay 5 more CP a pull for increased chances to get a cover that I'd just store until I could use it or (hopefully never get 5 of) and change the cover.I'll just take my chances on classics for that much.The only time this would change is if super strong 5's like thor and gambit came around... otherwise I don't really see the point. Mines well grow you 5 collection slowly now.

As of right now, we do not plan to continue any cover exchange policies following the 27th. So this will never be me, but there are enough 550 players out there now that this doesn’t make sense. If you have 550/530/520 you will not be able to move those covers from the 550 to your 530? Then what do you do with them? Sell them for Iso you don’t need? Build a dupe for nothing? What are they to do with them once they are 550 and get a dupe?

Would you mind explaining how it's better to stockpile tokens following this change? It'd be good to get some insight on why some players' behaviors may adjust to follow this strategy moving forward.
