The rockett said: @Demiurge_Will again this is great that you are answering some of these questions for us. Have another one. MMR- It sucks. Plain and simple. I have a 493 Gambit and 479 Thor yet I cannot Q 500+ teams. Why? Why does this need to be so closed? Once you get to a certain level of 5*, you have a special or paid MMR cloak where people cannot see you. It is very frustrating when they are 100 points away from you and you cannot Q them. Heck you can be ABOVE them and not Q them. Will MMR on the high end ever be addressed?
TPF Alexis said: AlwaysWrong said: Do the current cover odds for heroic tokens really reflect the current flow of the game? I'm not suggesting it needs much of an adjustment for four stars, but it feels like a bottleneck for 3* growth because of so many 2*s still coming from them. Aside from the very occasional four star, I really don't see much difference between heroic and elite tokens, and the game has evolved a lot recent, so maybe time to adjust the odds a little there? I've mentioned that a few times before. 3*/4* is the only pair of adjacent tiers that don't have a dedicated token, and it can be surprisingly difficult to pull them sometimes when RNG turns against you. I don't have records to back it up, but I get a continual feeling that it's easier for me to make progress in the 4* tier now than it was for me to make progress in the 3* tier when I was there.Actually, I think it still might be easier to build 4*. I'm pretty sure I had America Chavez Champed before 3* Angel, and maybe even before 3* Gambit.

smkspy said: This is my biggest issue as of now, especially with the introduction of 5 star feeders. It's nice having them, but they're essentially giving us a facade of progress since 4 star and 5 star dilution is so deep. Sweet, I can build up my Daredevil thru another means beside pulling classics tokens...oh wait, my Kingpin is 277. Good luck getting those champ levels at a reasonable pace when we have 64 four stars. (Yeah, I can BH him, but that's just as unreliable if rng only spits out a BH every two weeks, if that).
MrCroaker64 said: This has been one of the most interesting threads that I have read on these forums in quite some time. I would like to thank Will for giving us his time and bringing us back to a place where we have some good interaction with the developers.My question is about the Bonus Rewards (Shield Intercepts). Why are they chained to Story events only, and has it ever been considered to expand them to the Versus events as well?As we are currently in the middle of a two-day sub-node, this came to mind for me again. On a day like today, I will only play seventeen (17) matches in the Story area of the game (11 for HOD and 6 for DDQ). As I recall, you have the chance of getting up to twenty (20) Bonus Rewards each day. As I will play less Story matches than Bonus Rewards available, even if every match gave me a bonus (which won't happen) I would not reach the max rewards.However, I will be in and out of Versus events all day long. So, if the Bonus Rewards were allowed in Versus as well, I would have the opportunity to get all the rewards. I would expect the Bonus Rewards to still be capped at twenty (20), and still be given out by whatever random formula activates them, but at least I would have a shot at them.I have been an on-going VIP member for well over six (6) months now. I started VIP, to an extent, to get the Bonus Rewards without having to watch the ads. Days like today, when I am not given the ability to earn all the rewards I am paying for, make me feel a little resentful. I'm not asking for anything free, or that I get the rewards without having to play, but the way it is setup now I don't have a chance at them at all.-Croak
AionTeleos said: Will, are there any plans in the works to update the Daily Resupply? I'm at day 1422, and my most recent resupply was a standard token. It would be nice if the rewards were rebalanced such that they remained relevant to the likely roster of a player with X number of days under their belt.

Guessing same reason 5* DD didn't get Elektra as a feeder... they don't want 4* feeders that have two 3* feeders.
(and yes, 3* Gamora really should feed 4* Gamora...)
Another possible option is that they looked at what Guardian was at the lowest level overall so they wouldn't have to give out so many free covers.

axmoss said: Will there be an update to the feeders? Gamora (guardians of the galaxy) is still rewarding star lord (legendary outlaw). Among others that could use a revamp.
Jomu5 said: Quick question... This thread ever going to get new answers?
Felessa said: First, @Demiurge_Will , thank you for some answers, it's really good to have this kind of communication. axmoss said: Will there be an update to the feeders? Gamora (guardians of the galaxy) is still rewarding star lord (legendary outlaw). Among others that could use a revamp. Now this is my question as well: Why are we are having champion rewards updates only for 4*s (to give now 5*s), while the 3*s tier is still so outdated, with the same 4* been given twice (like SL/Gamora) in some cases?
