A few suggestiosn for the Heroic mode to make it more attractive for even attractive to competitive players:
- Double the score pts. Competitive players will ignore going heroic since its basically significantly harder nodes due to very few to no boosted characters used and your entire roster cannot be used. Doubling the pts will make it more worthwhile to go heroic.
- Triple the rewards: Tripling the rewards make it more worthwhile to go heroic esp. in the hardest nodes. double the rewards simply is not lucrative enough.

I would also add that having chosen Heroic (or Normal) for the first battle, the player be given the chance to switch back to Normal (or Heroic) instead of being roped into playing the entire node by your first choice.
1 would make it mandatory, not just worthwile. That’s 100k points. No one else would have a chance.
2 would still make it not worth it. Triple barely anything is still barely anything.
There’s middle grounds here in balancing.
1 could be a sliiiight increase in points. Enough to offset 10 minutes worth of refresh time or so. With a few months worth of data from players actually trying hard to place with Heroic, you could hone into an actual number. With the right boost list, a good player might be able to profit playing Heroic over Normal. Which would add a layer of competitiveness you are looking for
As long as you don’t win the first fight, you can still change. So have a taste of those CN and 5e and feel out if you could be it maxed. Choosing Heroic you’re not really going for placement anyway, so no harm in trying?
