For the past couple of days, I could swear that the SHIELD Sim has only been giving me ISO. Has this happened to anyone else? I'd really like to start getting covers again...

    In the flip side, I'm getting nothing but covers from regular PvP events

    I have played a lot (for me) of Sim this season. Was getting ~40% - 50% cover drops. Then Sunday, fow whatever reason, I got about 15% ... 2 covers in 15 or so matches. Then the next day .... back up to 40%.

    So .... yes, no, kinda, for a bit.

    Looks like it was confirmation bias. Lightning round seems to have shaken some covers loose.

    Well, they are "breakneck speed events", so shaking stuff loose seems about right.

    They have been throttling cover drop rates in SHIELD SIM past about 150 wins for a couple of seasons. You get one ratio prior to that and a much less favorable one after that. Ostensibly to keep the farmers from getting "too many" rewards. In practice those folks just move to individual events and farm there once they have hit the throttle point.

    Current LRs and the Avalon PvP are .... unusual? Until/unless confirmed as new norms.

    I was wondering if it was something like that. I'm at over 300 wins...
