    To save on HP, I like to climb my way to 900, leave myself unshielded overnight and get knocked down to 600 or so, then climb my way back up on juicy retals from people who used me to climb to 1100

    This morning almost all of my retals were from people who were STILL at less than 500 points icon_cry.gif

    I got up to about 425 last night; woke up and had lost two points from three matches (two wins and a loss). Will probably climb up to 900 tonight, time permitting, and either throw up a shield tonight or wait until tomorrow morning to do it (though I suspect I'll drop more than two points tonight). Noon end times are not my friend. And that will likely be it for Season 1 for me.

    And Season 2 I'll probably stop shielding in PVP to save HP - the tournaments with covers I want are likely to be crazy, and the tournaments that are reasonable I probably won't care about the covers. At the rate they're pushing out characters, I need to start hoarding HP.

    I haven't seen that but I have seen Thor get carried away and drop a Thunderstrike and Call the Storm after everyone was already down. Just to rub it in a little more icon_rolleyes.gif

    Well clearly my maxed rags/Lazy Thor/hulk team is not scary enough ...people keep attacking me, lost 200 pts so far

    Too much red/green coverage?

    I'm in the same bracket as you; just popped into the top ten for now, although not expecting to stay there for too long since my Rag is underleveled.
    I've mostly been fielding Panther/oBW/Rag, since I still have more 2.5* teams than full 3* teams in my queues. It's not a terrible combo - I can focus Purple to deny enemy oBW and Black to fuel Panther Rage.
    I did a retal on you... unsuccessful one. Your OBW got 2 lucky cascades and I didn't recover from that. To add insult to injury she AR my team after everyone was dead.

    Ah, I had wondered about those points. I swapped oBW back to 3/5/5 during the Daken tournament. Although stealing Purple is pretty nice, I think the speed of 8 cost AR is definitely better. It's amplified somewhat in this event where 3 green AP is halfway towards another cast of Godlike Power, which presents a nice opportunity to generate some cascades, which goes back into fuelling cheaper abilities.

    Match finishes and Thor is standing there with all this AP stored up, "Guys, please? Can I call the Storm? It's kinda my thing."

    I just had an intruiging battle.

    High leveled Rags, Loki and Doom.

    Me - Rags, Patch, CMags

    Cascades... then Rags green, more cascades. Enemy gets tons and tons of black. And what? And nothing. I would easily lost if AI decided to launch Daemons. But naaah, AI decided to keep it for Loki. When I finally got enough green + blue + red to finish them in 1 round, AI was at 30black...

    Just lol.

    I used to think I understood a little how matchmaking worked - but twice in this tourney I was someone's first attack when I had 700+ points. Okay, fine - so I lose 47 to someone. I can handle a loss. Why, though, are they even seeing me already, and how does their 8-Ares/8-Mhawk/23-Rags beat my 85-Ares/85-OBW/57-Rags? It just doesn't seem to add up.....

    EDIT: Another one - 15-gsbw/6-cHawk/23-Rags, I was their 1st match and my team hasn't changed. I would really like to see what team of mine these teams are actually seeing.....

    anybody else having issue with this not adding up your points or even giving you any? I just started this morning won to matches for 60+ points total, didn't get my 50pt reward and no points showing up now for past hour.

    I have had delayed reward issues like that with LRs before. Do your points update when you check the leaderboards and cycle between the top rank tab and the personal ranking tab?

    The rewards have always come in for me eventually.

    I've lost almost half of my points thanks to you rascals. I was around 850 last night before the shooting started, the dust has somewhat settled today and I have just over 500. Got some juicy retals from Psycko, one of the MBB's, and Bubbleboy. So, sorry in advance.

    Nothing like playing for 2 hours to gain 10 points. So much fun.

    Sunday was the best though! I got to play for 4 hours until work to go -40 in the Daken event. Thank god lightning rounds are back, at least those don't make my blood boil.

    Yeah, LRs are much fun now as well.

    Or do what I did...I spent 12 hours losing on purpose, I lost over 200 battles in one day, not skipping mind you but losing....and instead of 141's, I am getting 85's...Mission Accomplished!

    fortunately i am not having any of these problems, and here is why.....

    i decided to take a different approach since i am not a fan of rags tourneys as everyone uses him with spidy.
    as soon as the event started i got to about 600 points using rags/hood/obw. (great team by the way).
    an hour later i was still at around 600 points so i figured wow no one is playing this i guess.
    at that moment i decided to pound my way up to 1000 and i have been shielded ever since.
    will probably really up the requirement for top 10 in my bracket but i really dont care lol. seeing as how i no longer need to play a pvp anymore for season 1.

    im officially relaxing!!

    I haven't seen anything lower than 141 for three weeks now, even though I tanked last weeks LRs religiously.
    MMR working as intended.

    LRs are said to not affect your MMR as much as a normal tourney so tanking in them is near useless
