There are now more 5* characters than 1* characters (who buff 2 per week). They have been buffed in various events so it isn’t unheard of. The main reason I would want this is to be able to use at least one 5* in heroic pves. Thoughts?
It’s bad enough when they are boosted in off-season events. No thanks.
Not a fan. In fact one of the only things I like about Heroics is the lack of 5*s. Makes it a little more even of a playing field when the top of the food chain can’t use the shiniest of toys.
Edit: I changed my mind, NO for everything.
I just read and I agree, scaling in this last Heroic is much better withouyt any 5s, ‘just’ with IMHB and Iceman as my top guys (both champed).
Scaling for 5s is still much worse in PvE, so having some buffed 5s would just make it worse.
Because Balance of Power wasn’t annoying enough with level 550 enemies, let’s make that level 700.
I voted no and I have 3 champ 5 
.
On a personal Level, with the broken MMR, I already face only champ 5
in PvP and the fights take for ever. Boosted will mean double health so even longer fights. For smaller roster (4/3
) an undercovered boosted 5
will break their MMR and will not make any difference against a maxed 5
Team.
For PvE it’s the same, I face over scaled teams on boring , long and unfair fights. I don’t want to face lv 600+ dark avengers. For smaller roster boosted 5
will be more punishing than fun.
On a side note, for me , the difficulty is way better scaled on this heroic event than on a regular PvE. Even with champ Iceboy ( 402 boosted) and Hulkbuster(415 boosted) the opponent are manageable. I would enjoy PvE more if I had the option to lock my 5
and having a 4
scaling.
No. The 5* tier of play still sucks and any respite from it ought to be welcome.
No. We already have massive scaling problems across the board. Please don’t make it worse!
Should’ve had “fuck no!” as an option…
I think it’s inevitable, but I’m in no hurry to get there.
I voted in the distance future. A future where we’ve got like 30 5s and 6s are a thing. They way they are rolling out new characters that might be 6 months from now 
No thanks. Not at all interested in seeing a level 600+ 5*.
No. Boosted characters are a tool to promote roster diversity, and have characters that normally don’t get much play see a little action. This diversity doesn’t exist in the 5* tier. Outside of SS, most players don’t have 5* characters that could be boosted to a level that would make them useful.
Never. 5*'s should -never- be boosted. 5*'s are already like 7*'s, boosted 4*'s don’t even come close to competing.
I voted no for the reasons already stated. Now, adding 4*'s to the heroic event reinforcements…
Just wait until Nefarious Foes (less than a week away), for boosted Goblin.
I wonder if a boost would make 5Cap worth playing…
I think your answer is here…
I doubt you will really see much difference. People don’t often soft cap their 5*s. Either you have the covers and you level them, or you don’t and they sit at 255 until you do. So the guys that have playable GGs will do better, but I think most will keep using their SS/OML/Phx teams. The same would be true of 5Cap - either you have him usable or not, a boost week wouldn’t likely make much difference.
I in fact said, “No, tinykitty no,” when I read the question.
(I’m sad to say I didn’t think of actually saying “tinykitty,” instead I said a word of uncertain Etymology, but is frequently used as an intensifier in English.)
sniff sniff My SS is useful…
