But it was worth it: eventually I got to 1600 points, won 2 Hulk covers and placed on top5 in my bracket thus getting also 3 Punisher covers. In that sense it was a good investment. In general the option to shield yourself works in favor for everybody. Devs get money, you get to keep your points for awhile and the overall point pool rises allowing everybody to try to reach for higher prizes. I'm gonna tank now for awhile. And maybe later if I have the time I'll try to reach for couple more Punisher covers.

Doesn't anyone else get disgusted by the fact that you have to use a premium currency (no matter how much of it there is you can get easily) to make a broken system work? Now I have to use the HP I was going to use on cover slots to not get slammed for points, which should NEVER happen in the first place in a sound PVP system.
_fulu_ wrote: I swear I might agree with you, except I made it to 2100 points without a shield. Git hit a total of 4 times in the 3 hours I actively pushed, and only twice after I stopped at 2100. I suppose the high level hulk was a huge deterrent.

Not to mention that my eyes and right hand started to ache. Almost like during porn watching marathon. Finally got ****Logan, so only Loki and Rag left for a full rooster. Punisher is next on my leveling list, currently at 33, with the covers I won he can get to 69.

For some reason, as I approached 1200 everyone I attacked when I was around 400 decided to retaliate against me. Each loss costing about -45 or -50. It was too discouraging to push on and potentially lose more ground as the 1000+ point enemies might strike back, so I just threw up a shield around 1080 and coasted into a 2nd place finish.
