There are now almost thirty 5s in the game. People complain that there is a meta and only those few get used so why not boost two 5 every pvp? That would make the non meta characters more viable. I could very well leave my 450 5Thor on the shelf if my Daredevil was boosted over 550; same with Parker, Bolt, 5trange, BSSM, Phoenix, Cap(s), IM, etc. (not wasp or ock though, add 200 levels and they will still suck)
I see some people complain that they only see the same few 5* in PVP and that there is so much more diversity as a 4* player. Yeah there are like 70 of them but I think the real reason that people use a more diverse set of 4* is that some of the lesser used 4* get used when they are boosted. If it were not for boosts 4* players would see the same few characters every time too. Heck even with 4* boosts there are a few that still get used a majority of the time. As a 4* player I wouldn’t regularly use Moon Knight in PVP but boosted I would dang sure use him. 4DP is pretty good but not 4* meta, however when he is boosted he gets used a ton. Nightcrawler, Yandu, Bl4de, Vulture, LC are beasts when they are boosted but get no love when they are not. Rouge is a pain to fight against but not many use her unless she is boosted.
Give us boosted 5*s so I can get my GR off the shelf. Give me a reason to use Cap, Iron Man, Archangel, and Goblin. It would be great if Spider-Man was boosted so he had a better use than being turned to dust as cannon fodder to Thano5 in PVE.
Heck Yes. This would increase variety in 5* PVP, which is good for everyone. Making a gap between old and new 5* players is a good thing. Vets should play against vets and newbs against newbs. The MMR does a better job than people give it credit for. In BOP, the match times were not longer, people just thought they were. This change would be great:
Old vets would likely have both boosted 5*s champed and fight with them at a 550 level, increasing variety.
New 5* players would not likely have the boosted 5*s champed, so they would fight at a 450 level.
With a 5* boosted list each week, people would explore new 5* combos trying to take advantage of the boosted 5s for the week, which is great for variety. If you have just 1 boosted 5, then look among the rest of your 5* champs to find a good partner. If you have high level 4* champs that are boosted, you could use them too.
I think it’s not good for 3* players or transitioning 4* players and below. I’m still a considered a 3* player and I’m seeing 5* characters in pvp frequently, even though they are not champed. What downs my characters are the match damage from 5* if I choose to fight them, especially when they are boosted.
I think as a 3* player you would still see low leveled 5*s. But if that 5 was boosted it might raise them above your range so you would not see boosted 5’s at all. Maybe. I’m no mmr expert.
I support 1 boosted 5 a week. I think the boost should be 50-60 levels. I’m not using a 450 natasha over a 461 Thor. but i might use a 500 Natasha. I would still use a 461 Thor over a 480 Natasha. 2 boosted would just mean that those 2 would be all you see
