But i forgot to put in bagman before I threw up my 24hr shield. If i start a match and yield will my shield break? I'm stuck in a **** MMR or something. I'm at 1828 points and I can't find anyone with more than 3 points so this may be crucial to advancing to my spidey cover. Thanks for the help in advance

I was just wondering that myself...still threw 90% of my team under the bus yielding in SHIELD training regardless So harder to experiment after all that.

If you do lose mmr, would that make it harder to find high point opponents afterwards? The problem I had was finding lots of much beefier opponents after i reached about 1050 or so in Double Shot. All 100+ for most of them and i'm just running a 65 IM40, 85 wolf 85 obw. There are still easier targets up in this 1000+ range, I'm sure, because that's how i got to 1400 last Double Shot . So i'd like to find some easier ones to climb up to 1400 and get all the rewards.
