Lightning Rounds! Aka How many tournaments?!

Really? I assumed it was based on tournament finish. That would explain why it doesn’t always seem that effective…

im ahead of the curve in tanking it seems icon_e_biggrin.gif

its a doozy of mathematics, you bump up your mmr going to 250, but you tend to lose more points and attract more hits. so just going on a 1 point per win, 1 point per loss system, if you get to 250 hitting 10 ppl for 25 points each, and get hit by 40, ur net is 30.

if you go to 100 points hitting 5 people, and get hit by 35 people, ur net is 30.

basically it doesn’t matter if you go to 250 or 100 for tanking purposes cuz u’ll be an enticing target regardless with ur crappy teams you put out.

At least i get an extra juggernaut cover by going to 250 icon_e_biggrin.gif

yes i should’ve prefaced you get a nice shiny token doing it your way (and takes longer, and for me at work, its not worth)

Time isn’t a factor when i have a rags now lol

Your work doesn’t seem to bother you from posting on this forum though icon_e_biggrin.gif

its been 15 out of every 16 teams. I think its because of so many being given out via thornament and the hunt. Plus huge ISO pools from the later. Otherwise…nooooooooooooooOooooOoooOoOOOOOo…

That or I am just forgetful due to all the recent tournements lol

When you level your covers, your opponents will become tougher. I havent saw lesser lvl Thor than 85 for long time icon_e_smile.gif

tanking worked like a charm lol

guess i’ll keep tanking and shoot for top 2 mags

Guys, I’ll be tanking Hood like crazy. That guy deals huge amounts of tile damage but unfortunately pairs that with a laughably low health pool. But I will be aiming so hard for Loki, mine is currently 4/2, his purple skill looks like a nice purple dump and most importantly…I WON’T CROSS YOUR THREE STAR’D AND DIGIT’D PATHS! icon_e_biggrin.gif

Oh god not more lightning rounds icon_e_sad.gif

Surely we could at least get them in a different format.

Doubt its lazy programmers as some of the new events have been great, guessing this is the event most people spend their money on.

I went out hard on Hood right up until someone hit me back; convienently that was when I had to get off the train and drive home. Switched to the punching bagman team and watched the hits roll in… I think about 40 of you attacked me, and I recognized most of the names.

The two that disturbed me were TheLadder and Nemek – I simply don’t want to be showing up in their MMR yet!

First of all i wanna thank all forum members for their decoy teams with big points, that get me another doom cover.

But whatevet tour it is, rag is a must.

I wonder if we’ll ever get penalized for gaming the system like this

No plans, no. For one, the number of people gaming the system is actually very low. For another, it gives us great data points to tweak by. Game away!

xD

Time to increase those bag-man and moonstone usage rates!

Wish I could have two Bag-Men.

put a bag over invisible woman’s head for R44

Could someone explain this tanking thing at how it affects the lightning rounds? I can place pretty much top 1-10 at will in everything BUT lightning rounds, and would really love to train my Hood. It’s the only strategy I haven’t really figured out on my own.

You, dear sir, just won this thread. I lol’d in real life.
