Would have been a great way to fill time between anniversary and the next season.
They’d have also been a great way to fill all those holes where Galactus was done and PVP was shielded, but let’s look to the present/future, I suppose.
I think that LRs with smaller than usual brackets (not necessarily in the format of 20 ppl LR… let say 100 or 200) could be the perfect environment for 4* events for the time being.
Maybe once every couple of weeks we could have “normal” LR and, running at the same time, 4* LR, with slightly different (=better) rewards.
Normal LR would become much more enjoyable for classic 3* rosters, while people with 4* rosters could go for the “hardcore” version.
On a general note, I believe that LR deserves much more attention as a game mode.
Maybe there could be an achievement system for every LR cycle: let say that you unlock 50 hp after 50 matches won, a legendary token if you hit xxx global points (during the entire cycle of LR) etc.
And maybe we could have them on the weekends sometimes?
Lightning round rewards just don’t seem to be worth the effort.
Maybe the easiest rests to give would be some standard tokens for t250, t500. I know they’ll probably be 1*, but who didn’t like opening tokens.
