Can we set max level of single cover 5s to 255 instead of 270

When I was a noob, I had the unfortunately luck of getting multiple 5* Hawkeye covers. Not knowing any better, I put him up to level 285--before I had a single champed 4*. I didn't play PvP for the first year I think.

What would make the most sense would be to be able to downgrade characters (with or without getting the iso back or getting a bit less).

It seems stupid that this feature isn't already introduced.

It would have been really convenient for me when they bricked Gambit and I suddenly had a strong character turn into a useless one.

It's not broken?

If they were to change the max level of a single cover to 255 it would impact way too much else (mostly the levelling per cover to get to 450). Won't happen, as there's no justification for it (regret doesn't count as justification).

The ability to downgrade levels that you already added would be simpler, I would think. However, someone else would have an issue with it (they accidentally downgraded, didn't realize the impact it would have, etc etc) just as you do with levelling a 5*. I just don't see this being an actual issue.

You'd have the same issue you're encountering with lowering the level cap as a new player, as just rostering a 5 star would increase your MMR in PVP. You'd have a stronger character than the 2/3/4 star rosters in your grouping.

We have little-to-no power here. They don’t even want to fix the stupid bugs that are driving some of us insane.

I would think this is one of those cases where there's little downside in providing information. But trying to communicate the nuances to the average player could be hard, IMO.

Most people are playing PVE only (observe the consistent incentives they are providing for PVP play; Marvel Insider points, much better rewards for time spent, etc). Or mostly PVE.

In PVE, leveling your characters as much as possible is only helping you tackle more challenging opponents more effectively. The fact that leveling can make PVP worse is one of the weird things about the game, really. What can help you in one place can hurt you in another? Very counter-intuitive.

And how would you tell someone that? I would guess it would just turn off even more players to PVP if you told them they shouldn't improve their highest-tier characters via some kind of popup or whatever.

Read what I'm saying to fiirst. If he's complaining about putting ISO into a 5 star and being punished and wanting the default now to be that all 5 stars sit at 255 instead of first level kicking in at 270, I'm saying that default would start punish people just for having a 5 star on their roster, because there is no difference now between a 255 and 270 in the games eye. It's just a 5 star character on the roster. If you were a player and just had a 5 star in the way he wants things to happen, it's going to give him an unfair advantage over 2 and 3 star rosters in his SCL in PVP. It might not be much of one, because with one cover they can't do much, but match damage is higher than 2 and 3 star competitors.

MMR should rightly push him into a higher roster in PVP, as it does anyone who starts leveling any character in tiers above their weight class. Otherwise you'd have a bunch of people who'd roster more than one cover on a 5 star character but leave it sit at 255 and clean up in the guppy pools. The minute you're starting to roster 5s at any level, you're advancing to another tier of play, and the game is right to start funneling you to higher level competitors. .

THIS!!

Before (mostly) "fixing" my past sins of ignorantly leveling 5*s too high this was ALWAYS my desire and something I requested on every survey.

Even if we only got the iso back at 50 cents on the dollar I would have done it. Heck! I still might today to drop my 360 Silver Surfer back down to 330 where the rest of my soft-capped best 5*s are currently at.
