Now the game will only offer me the same 6 names, no matter how much iso i spend skipping. Only one of the names has more points than me, he's worth about 26 points. The rest all have totals less than me, and I'm not actively seeking retal-fodder, thanks. D3 keep secretly tweaking their MMR algorithms, and I'll admit some recent changes had their benefits - I quite like the idea of tanking not working. However, I thought the days of 'extremely limited MMR pooling' were beyond us. It's just sad. I don't want to keep hitting skip in a vain attempt to find one of the thousands of players that I know have more points than I do. I just want to be offered reasonable matches.

Spidey and C.mags would have been nerfed back in November if there were true PvP. Heck, they probably never would've even passed play testing.

If you want a broader variety of opponents, don't run up the ladder in an event and stay low where the rewards suck but the playerbase is broader.

For all the talk about Mags being sucktuclar on defense (barring purple), he almost drove me crazy in a today's LR. Enemy Mags had red at 5 and kept getting more and more red thanks to enemy Hood and most ridiculous cascades ever. I think I had to sit through 100 Magnetized Projectiles in a single match

Usually when I get in an MMR pocket I assume it's because most people at that MMR are shielded but I was frequently hitting pockets in the lightning rounds this week. Really game? I'm only "near" five people out of the 200,000 unshielded people in the event?

But judging from how the last few PvP events have gone for me, I know there is about 0% chance of me even getting one cover. And can we change the name of the 300 point progress reward tokens to Bagman Tokens? Because that's all that ever comes out of them.

If You believe it's gonna be a 3*, it is a 3* (sometimes). If You are sure it's gonna be another bagman, it's bagman indeed.

I got Torch from the last one I've been in a gloriously bagman-free zone for over a week now (I think I may have won one from a Heavy Metal match) - it's all been Ares, Moonstone and CStorm. Sidenote: apparently 600 points doesn't count as "under the radar" for this one... I got slammed overnight for almost half my points
