This is the best deal/sale y'all have ever offered on anything, ever.

I would snap it up as a starting player, and since those particular covers happen to be perfect for me as they let me re-champ and gain the LT from 3 separate duplicate 3*s, I'm snapping it up as a day 1550 player as well.

Looks like an effort get/allow more players to jump right over 1* land. Which is a good thing. Hopefully a first step towards just deleting that whole tier?

Best $7.99 I have ever spent in this game. Day 1135 so not a spring chicken, either.

This cool and looks like a great value.

Can we expect more bundles in the future? It would be cool to see a Veterans Pack for players who cross over to specific Shield Clearance Level. The pack could include a bundle of 4*'s and LT's.

For me its "The Fertilizer pack" and its actually a pretty good deal

Why would you want to delete an entire tier of characters?! They should be looking for ways to make the lower tiers more viable in the long term not diminishing them further.

I snatched it up right away. I'm not a starting player, but it was a good deal. Got way more with the Champ rewards from the covers.

never mind

You'll take my MBW teamups when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

Great deal, thanks for that.
It does feel a bit unjustified that I have to pay € 8,99 ($11) for it though.

They're relics and eat up roster slots. Also the game really needs an updated prologue that explains many of the new systems added since launch which the game doesn't tell you about at all:
Bonus Heroes
Champions
The bonus rewards for spending at least 1.99
etc.

If they trashed the 1* tier and redid the prologue focused on 2* and 3* characters and even demoing the champ system it would be a major improvement for new players coming forward.

Plus it would eliminate the need for people past a few months to just constantly throw away useless 1*s.

If that's your preference I guess?

I spend $2 a month on 200 Hero Points now just to keep bonus rewards coming in. For me the 1200 Hero Points was worth the $7.99 and the rest was just gravy. Three of the 3*s I already had max champed so the covers just went into their dupes and I ended up with a 4* Rocket and Groot cover, 23 CP and 200 HP from Champion level rewards. Great value.

Good thing I restarted the game. I thought it was weird that the Starter Pack was priced like 2000+ HP which is nowhere near $8 converted in my currency.

Very good deal. I’m probably going to buy this on both my main and side accounts...

Firstly, to stay on topic, this sounds like a good deal, especially relative to other MPQ offers.

That said, considering the game only "requires" a single 1* to complete all the content, it seems really odd to want the removal of an entire tier. Especially as it's arguably the best thought-out tier in the game, at least with new players in mind. There are no passive abilities or particularly complicated abilities, in general, and it introduces board shake (Juggs & Storm), stuns (mBW, IM35, Spiderman & Venom), critical tile creation (Hawkeye, Spider-Man & Yelena), self damage (Juggs), board control (Hawkeye) and AP theft (mBW & Yelena). They even start you with IM35, possibly the most vanilla character in the game.

Personaly, I'd rather see them introduce 1* championing to keep them relevant. While I'm sure many people would scream bloody murder at the extra 1* slots to farm/garden/weed/whatever 1*'s, it would be a good solution to keep the tier more relevant while still maintaining appropriate characters for learning the game.
