Wait for a moment, Alarron, for I only beat seed teams in LR and will switch to lvl60 default + lvl1 ironman 35 + lvl1 storm in the last fight. After that you are welcome to get what you want from my tanking team

If I go straight into Shield training after getting to 250 in a LR, I get maxed 2* teams. If I enter after I put in my tank team and have been beaten up in the LR for an hour, I get way lower teams than that. So it probably is not possible go go _down_ im MMR by tanking LRs, but it sure is possible to go _up_. So I try to come out MMR neutral in every LR.

I've been tanking good and hard right before LRs start for the last several weeks, and I can tell you from experience that if I don't mess around with other PvP events my MMR never moves. And I generally farm LRs pretty hard for Iso. Doesn't matter. I can still go an entire week's worth of LRs without having to tank during to manage my MMR. I think part of what you're seeing with Shield season sim is that it seems to have it's own weird MMR buckets depending on what your score is. I've used it for tanking sometimes and you don't always get the results you'd expect. Actual PvP events are a better gauge of where you stand as long as you're below 450 points or so. That seems to be around where things open up for the firs time.

Don't need to hit every single LR anymore at least, now that I'm done with my Fury. Hopefully that X-Force buff never materialises, was a pain to get all that ISO.
