I don't understand the logic behind continually wanting new covers? Who has the ISO to effectively level such a huge roster, it doesn't make sense to me. From a dev point of view, fair enough...more covers = more revenue from the people who are OCD about levelling. Maybe from a comic geek point of view too, because the covers are cool. But from a general gameplay point of view? I don't get it, there are more than enough currently to make an interesting and exciting meta game.

From a completionist point of view, more characters = harder to complete them all. Ok sure, I get it. From my point of view more characters = more choices of who I want to level and use and more chances of getting everyone's favorites in there.

I understand the logic behind the developers wanting more covers, it increases the chance of players spending real money on the characters they like, but from a gaming standpoint it would make it more difficult for the majority of players, since the introduction of every new hero decreases the chances of pulling a cover of an older hero through tokens. When the game first started you got a 3* pull, you had like a 1 in 10 chance of getting a token for a hero you actually needed. Now it's like 1 in 20. In a few months it will be 1 in 30. At that point, you can forget about getting any meaningful pulls from heroic tokens, the odds will drop to about 1% to get a pull of any particular 3* hero you are interested in......which means if you want to get covers for an older 3* hero, you will need either to 1) hope they are rewards for a certain PvP or PvE tournament (which, the chance goes down with increasing numbers of 3* heroes because they will all need to be represented eventually), or 2) buy the covers with HP (I'm sure what the developers are hoping for). For most people, this means that unless they spend money, they will end up with 20 3* heroes each with 1-5 covers, i.e. practically unusable unless they are buffed for a specific event. You will only truly have more choices if your 3* heroes have 10+ covers each so you can see how they really operate, so imo the idea of more choices is really an illusion, unless you are willing to dump a lot of money into this game.

I also like the way that it looks like (in the full pic) that Hawkeye is forcing Wolverine to smell his arrow, and Wolverine is none too pleased about the aroma wafting from it.

I've put in Bagman teams a few times (mainly Loki rounds, they seem to be timed around my life schedule lol) but only getting hit once or twice. Presume it is some sort of skip tax effect, but curious if a method has been developed by D3 to bypass tank teams.

The Loki round may just be a lot less competitive right now with The Hulk starting back up and Loki covers on offer for the Fearless Defenders tourney.
