    Going to push at -9 h mark and shield through the end, will report when done, until then please be gentle. If I hit anyone more than once, apologies in advance, I don't always remember the count.

    Think I'll be doing the same but just starting at like 300 so may not see you, either way my hood is only 2/2/4 so take it easy on me icon_e_smile.gif

    You have nothing to fear from me, my targets must have 850 - 1000+ points by now :> Since I will provide same points or better later, no harm done (at least not an amazing amount).

    Well. I just had a very *exciting* fight.
    I use LT/Mags to push but both Hood and LT took some damage (maybe at 60% health) and I decided to find an 'easy' match and heal them both with oBW instead of just using healthpacks on them. Had a matchup with oBW/non-maxed Hood and LT, charged in happily.

    Cue an enemy purple cascade on the second turn. Enemy Recon, eating a Thor red, then a Thor yellow... My LT couldn't take the abuse, not being at full health.
    It was then oBW/Hood against enemy oBW, Hood and LT. I managed to down oBW with an Intimidation and then proceeded to take out the Hood, but it was still my badly hurt oBW/Hood against a fully healthy LT with 12 green.
    That's what happened next.

    Thor gets 14 green, I use Pistols to charge purple and steal 3 green. Thor proceeds to make a green match next icon_lol.gif
    I sacrifice Widow. It's Hood who's buffed and has **** handguns, not you, Natasha!

    Managed to deny Thor his strong match colours long enough for charging Pistols into charging boosted Intimidation *whew*

    I just wanted to heal, goddammit! icon_lol.gif

    the best counter to a high level hood is another high level hood.

    i thought the climb would be more annoying than usual, but it wasn't. just not a ton of 1k+ targets right now.

    Done for now, what a slog, be my guest - I'm shielded.

    I had a similar problem with "Venom and Yelena" earlier. Punisher, OBW and Hood were all mangled enough that I didn't want to take my chances in another fight without healing but none of them were banged up enough to really warrant using a health pack on.

    Cue endless purple cascades and Symbiote Snares for days...

    Well crawled up to 1K points and shielded. Not sure its going to be good enough for top 10 as saw some big names on the climb who have not showed their hands yet. Might have to unshield near the end but hope not.

    That'll learn me to underestimate MNMags and CStorm - I just copped Mag Flux, Lightning Storm, Wind Storm and an Intimidation all in one turn thanks to Hood icon_eek.gif

    Things didn't go so well after that icon_lol.gif

    With my mediocre at best hood I kept getting hit as I was getting to 900. Hit a couple bad matches in a row and I guess I'm just done for now. Might try more at the end if I'm close to a cutoff or want to finally break 900. Really need a good 3* to pair with Thor when my featured hero isn't so good. Punisher and cap both seem meh.

    Unshielded to try to gain a little more ground - finish two matches really quickly so go for a third... icon_lol.gif

    Bam - 68 points lost, 69 points gained.

    A fantastic use of HP, I must say, to gain 1 point icon_lol.gif

    1k right now is enough for 2nd in my bracket. Looking to hold top 10, but going to work in a while, so I'm shielded out.

    This has happened to me every time I try jump up a space just to shield. Last time I tried that was the Fat Thor tournament. Never again.

    Well, that was... educational. Few hours ago I broke shield and went over 1K. Got greedy for that Hood cover at 1100 so I didn't shield soon enough. I got hit for -120pts during one match (known forum culprits were at least Nemek & HailMary). Yikes, back to starting point @950. So now I decided to try once again and settle for 1000pts. I did 3 matches and shielded @ 1050pts, ranking top of my bracket atm. I won't unshield again unless someone goes barely past me. Then I might risk it and try for that Hood cover.

    Note to self: during last 8hrs of pvp 2-3 matches are absolute maximum period to be unshielded.

    Lately the game does all kind of weird things -- this PVP I entered losing the game with a bagman team. It supposed to put me in with 0 points but later I discovered to have like 33 as if won. And had zero attacks in a full day on that team, safe bet it was not offered to anyone ever.

    Recently noticed I'm not getting the expected amount of forest AP -- any clue how I can look a 7 after at least one match-3?

    Has anyone noticed any odd matchmaking? I started last night, killed three seed teams, then proceeded into a wall of maxed teams despite not having a single maxed character. I paid several hundred in skip tax, and still saw the same. Finally, I decided to purposefully lose twice to Phantron with two 80-100 3* plus my hood to see if that would have any effect. Still saw maxed teams. Decided to use 5/5/0 CMags, slowly beat a couple of maxed teams via infinite turns, and then I started seeing 2* teams, and the occasional non-maxed 1* team. ****? I understand that the playing field opens up after 600, but that was at less than 200 points!

    *EDIT* And back to maxed teams, yay!

    At least you gained points...

    I over-reached earlier (trying to take out a Patchneto team) so I shielded at 730ish intending to push on to 900 later. Later arrives and all I've managed to do is burn through all my health packs and lose 50 points icon_mad.gif

    Sidenote: do not underestimate Hood/OBW/Ares teams - they're scary fast!

    I came out of one match at -92, so I crawled back up to fifth place at 944 (fourth was well over a thousand) and threw up an 8-hour with 3.5 hours left. Blerg. Had hoped to make it to 1000 and/or keep it to a 3-hour, but this one got brutal around 8:00 am EDT.

    In any case, I'm shielded for the duration. Feel free to attack me. I"m just hoping LRs start so I can get some ISO. I think that LRs are the most fun and satisfying part of the game for me now, oddly enough, and it's probably because they're completely meaningless, but get me a lot of ISO and tokens.
