I haven't seen a Lightning Round in a couple days now. I've checked at various times. Is this normal?

    They only run from Tuesday through Thursday. In my time zone (US Eastern) they go from 1PM Tuesday to 11 AM Thursday every 2 hours.

    We all do. If you see somebody who says they don't want 24/7 Lightning Rounds don't take your eyes off them, don't turn your back to them and call the FBI, the CIA, the President, a Priest, a Rabbi and an ambulance because something is very wrong. icon_e_confused.gif

    EDIT: Might need John Cena too now that I think of it.

    Was there a reason they only run from Tuesday through Thursday? It seems kind of random.

    I assume that most people play on the weekends, and that tues-thurs corresponds to the lightest period of play during the week. Ultimately, I think this is just an attempt to shift the server load to a less busy timeframe

    When Elektra was introduced they did special lightning rounds for a week or so. I think it was one round every ten hours for a week...

    They can keep those.
    I want the original anniversary LRs back, 20 people brackets every two hours for two days straight, with tokens and double ISO.

    No, Thor had special lightning rounds during the first anniversary. The Elektra lightning rounds came and went in late December 2014.

    I ran a poll awhile back - 15% didn't want them!
