Impending nerfs/changes of questionable strength, nature, time frame, or even target are what make leveling decisions tough. If I didn't know a change was coming, I'd have maxed spidey and mags in a heartbeat! Or a few others instead, if I had an idea of how strong they'd be afterwards. Maybe I'll even want to use hawkeye if he's getting a buff, because he's already fairly strong and hard to counter as a 2*, but as for now he's sitting at lvl6 even if I have the iso to max out 4 of him, just not worth the gamble. In any case, iso should probably be cheaper and more accessible, or have crazy sales x.x

Someone will say I couldn't keep that up but if they were truly offered all of the time I wouldn't need to. So, 1000 ISO per hour. Realize that you are in a minority of users. Most can not play 10 hours a day in short spurts. Many are lucky if they can carve out chunks of time to get up to 3 or 4 hours a day. Not to mention if you wanted to actually play other games throughout the day (especially on mobile where new games are being dropped daily). Using your ISO earning rate, it would take 170 hours to max level a 3 star hero. For someone that plays about 3-4 hours a day, that could mean 45-50 days straight of playing this game to max level up one three star character. In that time frame, it's conceivable that two more 3 star characters are introduced. Currently, there are 12 3-star characters available. 2 4-star characters that require an even more amount of effort to level up. I'm not against grinding and those that have the capacity to grind should be rewarded, but there seems to be a huge imbalance of ISO coming in for players playing at the highest levels.

Any event that didn't reward a new cover may as well be skipped. And when a new character like daredevil that is lacklustre comes out you may as well skip the month because there is nothing for you.

I currently have 21k ISO in reserve, mainly because I don't want to spend it yet without some idea what the upcoming nerfs and boosts will do to characters. I don't want to waste it on someone only to find that Modern Hawkeye suddenly gets a great boost and becomes a character worth leveling up.

Looks like he wasn't sure how to format the sentence, but the 10 refers to the number of sessions. (10 sessions, each of 10-15 minutes)
beezer37_84 wrote: But the point I'm actually trying to make is if lightning rounds ran all the time someone like me would have to plan even less when it comes to this game because at any two hour interval I could play and get 1000 iso (in 10-15 minutes). And that is true of anyone (people with lower level teams would have to plan a bit more to make sure to hit the seed teams).
