David could you explain what you mean by creating 2 tiles instead of 1? The description makes me think you’re talking about Steve Rogers (Civil War), aka the boss version, but the power and character name refer to Steve Rogers (First Avenger). Are you saying now that the playable version’s yellow creates 2 tiles per character, for a total of 10?

I’m assuming they want to stop Falcon from completely shutting down his defining ability

I am pretty sure he meant the boss version. Now, cap boss will have 2 CD to potentially calls 2 allies rather than 1 in the first run. It makes sense since IM boss calls 2 of his armors at a time.

I’m pretty sure these are changes to the BOSS version of Cap. BUT this is an overreaction because in the last run Hulkbuster was boosted. I’m sure the dev’s looked at the data and decided that Cap got beat at a higher % then they want. Unfortunately they gave us a DOUBLE WHAMMY by not boosting Hulkbuster AND making Cap more dangerous. While I still think our alliance will do Team Iron Man again, making Cap harder to beat to this level really wasn’t necessary. Simply removing the boost to HB would have been enough. Getting that 5* IM cover is going to be a LOT harder this time around.
Yeah I would like to know why in the hell Hulkbuster is not boosted? Aside from the issues with nodes scaling from easy to insane from round to round I thought the event went pretty well. Good rewards, nice variety of nodes, great boosted chars that fit the teams…
Are the surrounding missions going to scale independently on each side or will their scaling continue to be linked? Kinda sucked having a Round 1-level (i.e.l Trivial) Boss Battle with either Cap or IM but having Round 8-level (i.e., Hard) surrounding nodes.
