    It should.
    As for the 5s, it depends on the boost they get.
    If it's the 100 level one, they'll get run, for sure.
    If it's the old, old 15 level boost, 479 4s could compete, possibly.

    Edit:
    no, forget it.
    3 true healers, it's just too good to pass on, when just going for 50 wins.

    Yea i don’t think i even have 2 powers in any of those 5’s for that next PvP lol. Gonna be a struggle for me, looks like it’ll be up to Miles for me to stay invisible while I chip away at all my match ups for that week.

    Maybe this will be the week for the triumphant return of FistBuster? Charlie's Angels?

    I wish there was a good combination with Kingpin and The Thing that we could call Kingthing.

    No problem then! You won’t be matched up with people with higher characters. I don’t have them champed either, so it will be a 4* game

    It's the big version of an omelette.

    I don't think that's true. MMR doesn't know about limited rosters (or at least it never used to know) so you'll still be considered in the same MMR as you normally are with your champed 5s (even if you can't use any of them). I see this whenever they run the Balance of Power PvP (all characters to 550) where we should technically all be in the same MMR but we remain in the MMR of our non-boosted characters.

    So you will be matched against players running champed versions of those 3 that you don't have.

    So the Iso-8 Brotherhood preview is out now for another week long event. Anyone taking any bets whether or not they learned their lesson and fixed this one this time around?

    Maybe they had their first look at CL 10 after the preview went up, and saw that it was Borked again.

    I'm sad that they did not rotate the Classic 5's who have the extra odds. Maybe it is a monthly thing? Weekly would be much better considering how many Classic's there are though.

    Ah - right. Not the answer I was hoping for but still an answer. Thank you!

    Thinking about this though this could be a double edged sword (Hi Shatterstar) as aren't these boosted 5's going to have a bit of a blocking effect on getting anybody else? I had a little go and got a Crystal from 80CP which was nice but I am working on Onslaught and so it potentially shuts off Classics for me every month none of the three are somebody I am chasing because I am less likely to get my character than normal which was already a longshot (Hi Longshot).

    I guess that is first world MPQ problems but still a problem.

    So far it hasn't really seemed to work that way. I've pulled more of the feature guys but I've also pulled other 5*.

    I do pull a lot of classic tokens though.

    I think the x14 system pull works like that: everytime a succesful 5* is pulled there is a 14% being the featured character, and a 86% being the others 85( the featured ones included).
    It's not a sure oddity, but still in long pulls will be appreciated.
