Some were good, some were lame. Until I got covers for CMags. Winning with him is easy and fast, so it's hard not to use him (along with Patch). Same team for last x tourneys (I think about 1.5 seasons). Not to mention that lately we got CMags and Patch tourneys... I really liked Bad is Good - Ares shined. Those with maxed Bullseye got some good scores. We got Psylocke and lately Mororo - it BEGS for No Man's Land. What's more - quite a lot of people leveled IW, so we would see her as well. Hell, even facing Moonstone was something new - good hp, strong purple. Divine Champions - LThor, Ares, Rags. Was Storm included? Still a fun tourney. Lone Star Skirmish - I absolutely love this tourney. Just for this tourney I maxed Venom and Jugger to have some roster diversity and when someone was down I was able to switch to another char. Not to mention I listened to one of the S.H.I.E.L.D members (Bugpop?) and respec'd IM35 to 355 and really looking forward to try him.

If you have a solely 2* roster (as I do), mStorm still has a place with her board blitzing abilities, and Juggernaut can be an annoying defensive sub if paired with Ares (b/c of speed with which they can dent your health). The rest are pretty unnecessary, though I've used IM35 here and there in the PvE just for change of pace while grinding nodes.

Not sure what they changed those with. This change makes total sense to me. If the 2* cover wasn't one you needed, then you were better off doing poorly in an event to get the 3x standard covers - not only did those covers give you a small shot at something you actually do need, but even if you pulled absolute garbage, it was still worth more ISO. 300 for three 1*s vs 250 for one 2*. Not a big deal, but it was a little nonsensical to have a lesser reward be objectively better. Now the 2x covers still give you a shot at something grand but since the ISO payout is worse if you don't luck out, it's actually a gamble to aim for it.

Emeryt wrote: demiser951 wrote: Man I was getting my hopes up for an easy season bracket then I saw walkyourpath and someone else from shield lol There is literally no chance You won't get some crazies in Your bracket. The only sensible way - skip first tourney of the Season. Do not touch Shield Simulator. Then join the second tourney late, like in the last 24hrs. TBH too many drawbacks though: 1. you skip 1 tourney, so no ISO, no covers, no HP 2. not much of a help for Your alliance... 3. if the first tourney got covers you want, they are still better than a small chance in 20-40 Heroic Tokens.
