Does 5 star HfH really make sense?

So the new character event for Hulk features 5Starlord (the only 5 star I haven’t had so far), which is fine, I’m not complaining. I was thinking of buying the one cover from HfH so I could compete in the event. What I noticed though, is that the store doesn’t rotate to Starlord until three hours after my slice starts (when the last slice of the previous event ends). Does this make sense if they really want people to buy these? I only have two options a) don’t have the 5 star and can’t compete for placement or b) buy the 5 star 3 hours or later than the event starts and still can’t compete for placement. If I can’t buy the Starlord cover in time to compete then why would I buy it all? I thought they said this was the reason for having the 5 stars in HfH.

And I know if you have a 5 at 12 covers you should buy it then but that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has run into a problem with this or maybe I’m missing something.

This sounds like a glitch.

With MPQ, often these little details get lost in execution.

Your third option is bracket snipe and join after you buy the cover. Unless you already joined…

Anyway that’s what I recommend.

I haven’t checked to see if they overlap yet. I’m just going by the timer for IM. Hopefully I’m wrong and the 5s overlap in the store.

Rotate? You know you can click on SL and purchase him while Iron Man is still on offer, right?

They would have to rewrite their current target roster-needs code anyway since a version to drives sales of HfH would have to avoid giving you covers you don’t need.

They totally overlap. It just wasn’t up yet yesterday. I guess that shows how much I’ve looked at HfH since they changed offers.

You deserve a cookie.

My 5/5/2 Star Lord loves these ideas too. He may not be top tier, but 13 covers is 13 covers.

Yeah, my 5* IM had 5 reds, and the store offered a red. Not really worth it…
