Patch has a huge buff at lower levels such that even at level 15 he's quite strong, and the Patch the game gives you on many missions can do them by himself, provided the enemies are low enough level. Retreat-tanking worked throughout the entire event, but barring that it seems to be the case that the responsiveness of enemy levels to wins and losses both was reduced halfway through, which means that late starters who didn't really grind missions out until today might never have had a seriously difficult fight to deal with. The rubber-banding was extreme enough that one mission (The Who) could basically jump you from 10x rubber-banding to none at all. I suspect that you could have gotten a top 10 finish while entering the tournament early this morning.

Damn, when you posted about an hour ago about your refresh I thought you'd be able to make top10 for sure. Not sure how I did, was #2 going into the final minute and I didn't finish my last battle in time.

I spent a lot of time at 1-2 over the past few days, but I knew timing wasn't going to work out to let all my stacks recover in time to do all 12 missions before the end. The sprint started in my main about 45 minutes ago, and I slowly sank from 1st to 8th. Got all 3 DD covers, though! So I had zero time to follow the thread over the last two days. What is the complaint about 1* rosters? Can someone encapsulate for me? And is it documented?

I must say that 230 Magneto / 230 Hood fight got me frustrated, almost threw my tablet at the wall, not being able to use my own Magneto made it even more difficult, I did manage to get one win on them using Hulk / Invisible Woman, thank goodness for that 546 strength protect tile, Magneto's red doesn't target special tiles and Hood never used his yellow on it
