If you're trying to get a cover that you do not have period, there's really no better way to go about it. Some cover packs, like Shield of Justice, is actually not a bad deal since all the 'bad' heroes are eliminated from the 3* pool.

The people spending money on these packs likely can't place in the top 10 of a PvP tournament because their roster isn't developed enough. If you were a new player trying to do well in unstable-iso for instance, spending money on the cap pack was the best way to get a cap for the essential nodes.

I can actually see the value if you're starting out and want to skip a few steps, but once you hit a certain point, it's just cheaper to buy the covers. The only covers I don't have any of at all are one each from LazyThor and Human Torch and two of X-Force Wolverine's, both of which I'll presumably be getting as daily rewards over the next 29 days (Got my first yesterday). Unless I'm really desperate for those last two 3* covers, there is literally no reason for me to buy cover packs, when buying covers directly guarantees me 3 needed 3*s for the same number of HP.
