Will end up selling the covers. Wait until Monday so you can save the two covers. If, at some later time, he gets reworked, you have the option of champing him then and using the two covers as champ levels.

With him fully covered the only way to get use of the 2 additional covers is to champ him.

Firmly in 5th place, but thinking about hopping the person in 4th. Have been shielded for a while. Have champed Gambit and champed Jessica. Equip 2 all AP boost, 2 RY boost, 2 BP boost. Attack the highest person I can queue after cycling about 100 times. It's a 28 pt match and BY FAR the highest person I can queue up. Most of the matches I queue are between 4-7 points each, totally useless. I win. Immediately shield up again.Was attacked no less than 10 TIMES! Two of them got me for close to 120 POINTS. And I'm in 6th now.Somebody, for the love of all things, explain to me how that is supposed to be fun or remotely in the vicinity of something that looks or sounds like close to fair. On second thought, don't bother. It's not. Here I am, doing exactly what they want me to do, shield hopping by using up a dumb amount of HPs, and it gets me backwards. What is the frickin' frackin' point?I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. I hate PvP. /insane-hysterical-rant

In that hour and a half, you’re risking a lot of hits from people climbing from 0, shield hoppers looking for points, your retals, and hits from enforcers. When you break MMR after climbing, think about shielding ASAP.

Remember, he doesn't want advice.But of course he'll continue to post every bad decision he makes.Like, climbing to shield without actually shielding.
OJSP said: Borstock said: I didn't break MMR in that time. I was still getting solid matchups. I see. Your slice must be full of floaters and you’re climbing at a bad time. That’s not too bad. At least you should still be able to beat the retal nodes after they climb higher. However, when we get to 900, we are worth 75 for someone just starting the event. In general, if you notice a hit from someone climbing, then expect more to come. The way the MMR and Elo rating works, it is almost never profitable to tread water around 900. We could lose up to 75 but we might not even get 38 per match. Not to mention 20 people could be hitting us at the same time.

OJSP said: Borstock said:It was a 2 on 1 where I was doing fine, and actually really enjoying myself, but then it turned into a 5 on 1, and I had no choice but to bail. Well.. what can I say.. you’re worth points, so they will take what’s offered. If you retal, they don’t need to skip and waste iso to find good points. Even 2 on 1 is not a going to net you points if you win all the fights until they have the same points as you, if you’re already above 900. I’m not sure about the actual points threshold, but if we get hit by someone from 0 when we’re above 900, they would get 75 and we would lose 75. If we’re below 900, any defensive losses are cut by 1/3.
