    I got 19 points. Turns out I'm quite Average based on DAZ's list :D

    Maybe there could be additional ranking factors based on how many tokens, CP, LTs, HP etc you've hoarded. I'd likely be at the higher end of that.

    Only if we get one point per 550 and one per 5* support!

    Bonus points if those 550s are ascended (not 1*, because you can buy those) and you used HP to swap for them!

    1- 2pts
    2- 1pt
    3- 2pts
    4- 1pt
    5- 4pts (bonus - no)
    6- 4pts
    7- 3pts
    8- 0 (max/max is a chore, but worth it)
    Bonus- yes, and I got the stones to prove it!! 😆

    Points for resource accumulation isn't a bad idea but I'm not quite sure how to quantify it. For example a player like EB would logically be at the top end of such a scale but his play style means he doesn't hoard and I don't think that is completely reflective - it is a crazy world where I have more CP than he does. Maybe there should be a bonus point for having x amount of iso, a commodity typically the MPQ community doesn't purchase with cash and shows they are a more advanced player. What do we think? Maybe bonus points for a certain iso surplus threshold?

    This is actually a good idea and represents the sort of thing I was going for in terms of sorting average and above players from relative noobs or "casuals" - I will try and work that in!

    So going by feedback I think at least the 2 following adjustments might apply:

    Shields used:

    2 or more - 4 points
    1 or less - 2 points

    And for PvE extended the 1 point range down to rank 200.

    I think that bumps me by 2 points.

    And with that, I’m firmly in the super hardcore camp. Can’t wait to tell my partner!

    I'm sure Foggy Nelson will be very proud.

    After another tough PvP day at the office!

    Even though I got Hardcore. I would not consider myself that. If anything it would be slightly higher than casual. More dedicated to my routine than anything.

    I play in lower l, because it is fast. I login once early in the day right around when the quests get released. At that time buy any cheap hp offers and see if the quests can be done within the deadpool dailies. Then log in 20 mins before pve ends. Complete quests or setup team to compete quests during pve. After that play pvp until 50 wins depends on event, generally it is under an hr. After that I open any tokens and add covers. All of that takes maybe 1h45 mins.

    Q.1 10 years + = 4 points
    Q.2 Top 21 - 200 1 point (#55)
    Q.3 1 or less: 2 points
    Q.4 No: 1 point
    Q.5 100+ = 4 points
    Q.6 25 wins - 2 points
    Q.7 10+ - 3 points (13 Supports at 5*)
    Q.8 1+ = 1 point (18 Ascended, working on M'Baku and 3-star Deadpool for #19 and 20)
    Bonus - 2 pts *8 characters at 550, including two 1A5 that I bought and promoted)

    4+1+2+1+4+2+3+1 = 18 + 2 bonus points = 20

    So slightly above average for the average band. Meh...I'll take it.

    17 :o
    Based on how much time I spend on this game every day, I expected a bit more... oh well, time to invest in a gaming chair.

    The BEER ranking is a tried and trusted method! My cat has also been shown it and had no notes!

    Casual - why are you even here??!?

    My casual status is now officially sanctioned!
    11 points in total (I think as I don't even check my PvE rankings these days). A little weird that 2 points of that is for not using shields and 1 point is for my alliance not reaching level 8 of boss events. Maybe a little too much BEER used in developing this system?

    Entirely possible! I grant you honoury average status for an excellent joke!

    For something a bit more quantitative, it turns out that average players make an average of 1000 matches per day.

    Day 1435

    Depends when the Milestone Quests started I think. Otherwise mine is in the region of 200 per day...

    Im gonna have to look up my screenshot or maybe its in my notes when I completed it but it was a while ago. Im curious to figure out my per day average. I think it'll be on the higher end for two reasons. First, I started playing after milestones were a thing, so I had a lot of matches not doing much damage at the start thus needing more matches to gain victory. Second, it suits my play style. I've never been one to rely on or really even cares much about character synergy. I just like matching tiles and then firing off a couple or three powers and match is over.

    How the heck? I'm day 3683 and still have 270k matches before I hit that milestone.

    Hard to say. I used to slog through SCL10 with an undercovered BRB, undercovered Kitty, and a 4-star Polaris. Eventually, I got the 5-stars better covered and then champed, but shortly afterwards moved on to Shang with Valkyrie and Melinda. Next, MThor hung out with Shang, who she eventually ditched for an ascended 4a5 Juggs. Juggs then started hanging out with Iron May with Namor as their +1 whenever there was room. Juggs switched Implanted Bomb for Thanos' Helicopter, which caused even more matching shenanigans.

    In summary, I just like to match the colorful tiles on my screen. And cause cascades. I miss the short lived, pretty Victory banner.
