    And for yet more evidence MMR is all tinykittied up at the moment - I'm seeing Bubbleboy in one of my nodes at just under 1000 points while I have just over 300.

    And no I'm not even going to attempt it icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Do it!

    This MMR mixup is actually good for you - not good for bubbleboy

    I would but I have absolutely no chance against a 212 Daken/Hulk/Punisher combo.

    ...awaiting till reckless puts on the shield again...

    Taking this tourney lightly, as I only need top50, put me in the 700pts right now. I will probably try pushing to 900 for 50HP reward. This should put me at +200-250 HP (if I somehow manage to stay in top25) from this tourney.

    Well, I couldn't find bubbleboy but I gave bowgentle a gentle tap anyway.

    Yeah, thanks. You and 3 others, -139 points in half an hour.
    I'm pretty sure I won't retaliate for that massive 10 points.

    You know I'm really getting tired of this. It used to be I could play PVP on my own time, getting up to 800 or something because 141s used to be a deterrent.
    Now it makes absolutely ZERO sense to go above 500 before your push, and pushing is almost impossible when facing 141s because health packs.
    They really need to limit the visibility ranges again, or limit your loss if the differential is more than 200 points. This is just not fun.

    Don't You love it when You face OBW and during the battle it turns out her purple is at lvl5, making her absolute zero threat? icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I'm just using the pvp to break the monotony of the day. It's more than a day before event end so I didn't think you were seriously pushing - and I thought like me, you were just enjoying the iso grind. In any case, you're in my bracket so we'll be seeing each other soon enough. And I'm sure you'll have your revenge soon enough. The other reason why I hit you was that I wanted to see how a mirror match between LD, Hood and LT would turn out. IF it's any consolation, I suck at denying green and yellow and only beat you with about 200 hit points remaining. So yeah, your LD, Hood, LT combo is still intimidating to me.

    In the old days, I never used to get hit at 800 and above because I had tanked so much and the only ones who could see me were players with 1 page on their roster of 1*s. Well they got rid of that exploit so now you see 141s and they in turn can see you. Which would be fine but for the point differential.

    edit: personally I find that patch/cmags more or less eliminates the need for healthpacks

    They're always the one's who miracle cascade themselves enough purple when I play against them though - things go downhill pretty quick after that.

    It's alright icon_e_smile.gif Unless someone farms me three times I can live with -40s!

    And I wasn't pushing, just yearning for the good ole days which you describe above - I still get annoyed when 5 people in rapid succession snipe me for 40 points

    Thanks for the info on my defensive team, it's always nice to know that it's somewhat working icon_e_smile.gif

    I've gotten a surprising amount of 'love taps' this early in the tournament (including from you, kidicarus) after climbing up to 500 or so yesterday. Makes me wonder how hectic it's going to get near the end. Good thing I don't need any of the covers. I'll just call it a day after that 900 point progression award, I think... my seasons bracket isn't that insane this time around.

    I've actually been playing around with different team combos to see how they work, I'm currently relying on the all too reliable cmag/patch combo and am trying more options before the impending funbalance for cmags (hood/falcon/daken is funny but nowhere to spend the green AP). I don't think it will be that hectic, don't need psylocke covers, don't need 1100 reward, don't need 4* cover - for me, this event will be about placing as high as possible while spending as little hp as possible.

    I'm not taking any points I've earned so far seriously so feel free to hit me in return. (until tomorrow that is :p)

    Don't feel like wasting HP on shields so going to put my defensive team in and hope for the best. Would Max Lazy Daken/Max Hulk/Max Hood be a good defensive team for this tourney? Thanks!

    I had to remove max Hulk from my team of 120 Daken and maxed Lazy Thor...Hulk wasn't tanking any colors so he just sat in the back of the class while Daken and Thor did all the work. His HP is certainly a deterrent, but Anger is the main reason I use him. If Anger isn't going off, what's the point?

    Not really. You have to have some hitters to win matches/scare ppl away. Hulk has pillow fists and Hood and Dakan have no real nukes.

    High HP's+High (easy) Damage is always the best defense in this game.


    If I see a maxed BP/LT/Dakan, I'm hitting skip.

    Well that was an interesting experience.
    The usual slew of 141s up until 1000, at exactly 1000 - boom, 2* teams, not even maxed, for 3 points.
    Oh, and WYP icon_lol.gif
    Who kept on coming up every second fight in between the 2*.

    Yeah, so I used up the two 30-pointers I had saved up and went to town, because 1100 was in reach and ISO, tasty ISO.
    Ended up with 1009 and 15 covers to sell icon_lol.gif

    If anyone held back while I climbed - thanks icon_e_smile.gif
    You can hit me all you want now, I'm shielded for the duration.
    Was planning to conserve HP, but 1100 is a nice contribution to my season score, so I'll keep that.

    I wish they would make it so you could only attack or be attacked by someone once a hour. Sucks to see your loss,page and a name is on there 2 or 3 times

    Hope you didn't break a 24 hour shield just to hop me, Bubbleboy o_o
    Since we both don't need the yellow X-Force I figured I might as well overtake, since I thought there'll be someone from below jumping all of us for sure.

    Even once every 5 minutes would be much better then what we have now

    True. I was just attacked 4 times in 15 min. 3 from the same person in which I lost 2 and won 1 which is kinda funny
