You already leveled him, level him some more. The catch is in regards to your other 5s. Based on reports from others, IF you level another 5 highly, then you will be seen as a 5* player, and your PVP MMR will change drastically. With so few 5* players around, it's not much fun to be elevated to that lofty planes in these early days. So max that OML, get the other 5s covered but don't level them aggressively, and enjoy that ride—the best of both worlds—while it lasts!

All the hits I get are by much bigger OMLs than mine (I have been hit by other 5s even when I had 100 points O_0 ). I think as soon as you get one char above 350 (max level for normal buffed 4s) you are a 5 player. Oh, from a player perspective you definitely are a 5* player ... you're a player who runs 5*s, haha. I meant that if you level another 5* up to a similar level (high 300s or higher), you'll get bumped up to 5* MMR. You'll only q other players the systems sees as 5* players. It's a small group at present, and it sounds like its no fun being there.

Players I know with multiple high-level 5*s are seeing level 430s (or highers ....) in the current test. In "normal" PVEs, they just see capped characters all the time on hard nodes ... lvl 326 active enemies and lvl 395 goons. If you're already seeing the same, I guess there isn't much destroying left to be done to your scaling

I can't reach 1k progression in PvP.

The problem is that a lot of people has a 360 OML, so you dont scare anybody, on the other hand a 405 OML is less common, so it is a much better scarecrow. Of course, the hops with a 405 OML are also much much faster. Ps: I guess that I can start getting the iso and see what devs say about the last PvE test. It was supposed to get much easier for 4, and 4-5 rosters, even though they failed miserably
