    I can finally see a light to start champing 5*s.

    That's such a great change.

    How great... oh wait - I once again cannot get the 4* covers since those are at 900 and I am getting -200 when at 860...

    This is a great change, now my only question is, what bad thing are they about to unload on us. You know every time we get something awesome, it's followed by the bad.

    This is so good and probably the best announcement since champion rewards was introduced! There will be negative feedback from a small number of players who has incomplete blackbolt, Peter Parker and thanos and 5 levels in a particular cover. However, don’t let this be a blocker to further expand this to future updates. 
    Sadly I'll have to throw away 2 Bolt covers before I get the one I need. However I'll be able to champ thanos so all good for me. Parker is already champed.

    Hmm.  I have several thoughts

    Fixed 5* covers are clearly being inserted into the game in multiple ways.  This probably says that an end to 5* play as the only endgame is approaching sooner than later.

    Fixed 5* covers are welcome and much needed.

    I don't know how to feel about losing 6 LTs from from 4* champ rewards.  Fixed 5*s is great, but this also makes it a little harder and slower to hoard for latests (which is clearly a benefit for demi)

    Retroactive covers is awesome, thank you demi.

    This should be a big help for new-ish players looking to fill out their rosters for pve essential purposes (especially if latest 5*s get rolled into 4* champ rewards quickly).

    Is this an entre into regular 4* pvp at last?

    Wow... that is so unexpected and amazing at the same time, great change!

    Loving that this is retroactive as well!

    This is a solid update. I only have six 4* characters at 280 or above so far, but one day it will help me. It is unclear if all 4* characters will eventually receive this treatment and if more than one character can point to a 5*, but here is my 280-and-above-list and hopes:

    1) Captain Marvel   -->   5* Iron Man (Mark XLVI) or 5* Star-Lord (Awesome Mix Vol. 2)
    2) Kingpin   -->   5* Daredevil (Matt Murdock)
    3) Agent Couson   -->   5* Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff)
    4) Iron Man   -->   5* Iron Man (Mark XLVI)
    5) Professor X   -->   5* Jean Grey (Phoenix) 
    6) Red Hulk   -->   5* Hulk (Bruce Banner)

    Thank you. This is the most amazing change in a long, long time. I almost don't care if they give retroactive covers, there is an actual path to specific 5*s now,  which is my biggest beef with the game since 5*s appeared. 

    Thank you.

    Wow this is awesome. I’ve been getting the feeling for a while that they are actively trying to increase 5* acquisition/adoption rate. This is another feather in that cap.

    This is the best news I have seen in this game in a very long time. I cannot wait for the rest of the 5s to get included too.

    Thank you.

    Awesome bonus. My 2/3/4 Blackbolt hopes the covers come in top to bottom order.
