I think the general philosophy of "it's a marathon, not a sprint" applies here. The support circuit (and in particular, the support circuit vault,) are going to add a lot of support tokens and supports to the game. I think they're still going to be much too rare, considering they're not that good, but if this is a first step then it is a start.
I entered the S1.9 bracket blind (is anyone updating these, btw?) cleared relatively leisurely, but ground more-or-less optimally at the end (I ended a tiny bit early.) I felt like it. I made rank 6, which is definitely better than I expected - if I was a tiny bit faster on the clear or grind I might have made the coveted 3, but I'm not particularly bitter about it.
I did draw two tokens out of my vault draws - nothing new but that will probably happen sooner or later. I also drew the 4* (Coulson in mine,) which makes me very happy.
Overall, I like it, but I don't think it distributes supports quite right, based on how much they impact the game. I think fairly constant play of it will result in pretty much all the supports at 2-3 sooner or later, but rank 5 supports are going to still be profoundly rare.
The rockett said: I took 1st in support circuit and got the MASTER TOKEN!!! Happy time!! Oh....well I got a 3* support fromthis. This is just like getting an LT and having them change the odds so 3* are in there now. That has just left me not carry about this as much. Grind grind grind grind grind. All this game is anymore. I know others have said they like the different teams they go against. For me, this is about getting 1st place for the top rewards. I didn’t even pay close attention to who I was playing. The only thing I looked at is who has the least amount of health so I can take them out in 1/2 moves. That’s all I care about. Maybe that is wrong but I bet many of the top end PVE players that are pushing for 1st would feel the same way.
