You know that LR wins/losses don't affect your regular MMR, right? Misunderstanding. My bad. To clarify, I was tanking in the LCap event to lower my MMR for LRs for easier Iso farming. Since LRs don't really affect your MMR you can get a lot of mileage out of tanking before they start and not touching the other PvPs while they're going on. The loss you got was probably from last night before I went to sleep. I was tanking like a boss while watching TV.

I was wondering why the LR felt more like clubbing baby seals than usual - I've been tanking this like a boss too Whether it's my **** timing or "Gentle Nudging" in action, I appear to now be in a bracket with at least five X-Men. And kidicarus. And Spoit. Good thing I don't need two blue covers ...

Brackets don't affect who comes up in your queue. So they may beat you in points, but they won't see you to beat your team unless you get up past 700 I believe. Then everyone can see you. I don't have any familiar names, but familiar alliances. X2 and Ace of Blades members so far. I don't know who else is hiding down towards the bottom.

But I need Iso more than I need self-respect, so off I go to "educate" some more noobs on how things work around here. And I'm in the same bracket. I will be going to 800 sometime, probably really late, for the HP and not giving a damn about placement. You crazy kids have fun up there.

I couldn't play fast enough to recoup my points before event end on the last one, and I never was even 'allowed' to break over 600 for the 25hp marker. I tried tanking some last season, but that is the most god-awful boring thing someone can do in a game. What little game time I do have, I don't really see being used to lose on purpose. .
