I finished my clears of a sub and then looked at the roster of the guy in first. He had a level 420 5*. Remember that we're talking about clearance level ONE. Ok, maybe just an anomaly. Maybe he accidentally picked cl1 when he usually plays on higher levels. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Next few events I played on cl2 and cl3. The top 10 was like almost nothing but 3-4* transitioners and 4* players.

I checked the event and saw that there were already several rosters with full clears, and a quick check revealed that the top 10 was packed with champed 5star players, who I can only assume were slumming in hopes of scoring high placement in SCL 7 to get Shuri covers to try and squeeze out an extra LL before Shuri's champ rewards are updated to give Okoye covers.IMO, the rewards should almost always be sufficiently improved at higher SCLs that players capable of handling those SCLs should have no reason to slum. The fact that it's worth their time to drop down to SCL7 (and in so doing, completely screw over players like myself who can't really compete at SCL8 or 9) is indicative that the rewards at higher SCLs are not good enough to keep players up there. It's just a bad experience all around.

Whatever the reason for them joining SCL7, it wouldn’t be to get the extra LT from champion rewards. Or, if that was their intention, they would be disappointed. The update will occur before the end of the event. They won’t get the Shuri covers before the Okoye covers.
