Scaling

I have a champed Peter Parker, with a couple 4s in the 290s.  4* pvp events could have different MMRs, but even ignoring those, I mostly see double boosted 4s on my climbs.  Sometimes Rocket/Gamora/Medusa or a Carol/whoever.  When I get high enough in points I start to see single 5s and boosted 4s, and in the case of this 4* PVP where I have a champed gamora, double 5s.

Your MMR in PvP will likely change. I have 35 or 36 champed 4*s, highest at Level 302. I champed my first 5* recently and I went from seeing teams of one or two champed 4*s or maybe an unchamped 5* (plus the featured 3*) to teams of one low-level champ 5* (usually around Level 460 or less, like my 458) and moderately champed 4* or two moderate- or high-level champed 4*s. And a whole range of teams within those parameters. 

So I have to rely pretty heavily on my champed 5*, but it's Daredevil and that guy was made for climbing in PvP, so it's not all bad. 

You'll see a change. You won't get thrown headfirst into full-blown 5* territory, but the majority of your matchups will be a champed 5 paired with a boosted champed 4, or a pair of not-quite-champed 5s. You can still get away with using two boosted 4s for the early climb, but you'll pretty much  have to use your 5* anywhere above 400ish.

Personally, with the preponderance of Gambits out there now, I wouldn't recommend touching 5* territory at all unless you have your own Gambit, or a pair of upper-echelon 5*s ready to go. He'll absolutely crush you most of the time if you're using a 4* team or a single low-grade 5*.

I am pretty much in the same situation.  I have 47 champed 4*'s and just recently champed my first 5* - OML.  My highest 4* champ is Coulson at 309.  As soon as I had OML champed, almost every opponent in PVP had at least one champed 5* so I think that my climb to 2000 for the 4* cover in PVP this season is going to be a bit tougher.  Haven't noticed much of a change in PVE though.

Levels in PVE are fixed, based on the CL you choose.

The abomination that was roster based scaling in PVE is gone.
