    Pshhh death brackets. You are placed in brackets of 200 based upon when you first fight in a pvp. The notion of death brackets is funny because I consistently place top ten regardless of who is in my bracket or who my opponents are. If you find yourself playing against high level opponents all the time then your match making rating is too high (mmr). MMR is based upon the number of matches you win in a row; so basically if you do not want to fight teams of 141's constantly you can lower your mmr by losing matches consistently (also known as tanking mmr). That is usually done by losing about 30 - 50 matches in the simulator.

    I've been told this no longer works, could anyone confirm? My situation is the opposite of OP: I'm not a hardcore player. I'm transitioning from 2* to 3* and I only possess 2 characters over 100 that I don't use that much, anyway, because they're not half as synergistic (and ultimately, powerful) as my tried and true team of 2* Thor, OBW and whatever. I usually end PvP with only 7-800 points, barely managing to get in the top 50. And yet, every single PVP has been getting increasingly more difficult. I just had to call quits in Daken, because after reaching 400, absolutely everyone above me had teams of 2x141s, plus <90 Dakens. I try to "tank" whenever I manage to catch the beginning of a lightning round, but I haven't seen much improvement.


    This fatal attraction that just ended is the first time every encounter is lvl 141 people.........All cause I finally got my 2nd *** above 100......so now I have 115 punisher and 101 hood........yay....lol

    **** you!!
