Looking at my roster, I've only got three 3* characters that aren't at 13 covers: Iron Fist at 11, and Dr Octopus and Scarlet Witch at 10. Of the ones at 13 covers, all but 6 have the power configuration I want. So that's 9 characters out of 40 I want covers for, and for those 9 there are some colours I don't need.

Go figure, I got my first 5 star cover using my command points that I got today. Red cover for Jean Grey.

I stopped regularly playing over the Christmas break. They seemed to be increasing the amount of effort to get rewards, so it was getting increasingly difficult to justify spending any time on it. And after I'd played through all the story missions multiple times, I didn't even have that aspect to keep me coming back. The small amount of story they did release over the last year was a bit disappointing too.

The champion system looked like it could be interesting, but they teamed it up with a depowering of 2* and 3* characters (when I was already having trouble with the scaling due to my underdeveloped 5* characters). The requirement to hit maximum level first meant that it was going to take a very long time before I could use the feature for my 3* roster,

Maybe I'll have another look in a few months, but then again maybe I won't: it was hard to see how bad the way you had to schedule your play of the game to do well was until I stopped.

I think my method of focusing on maxing each 3 character at a time has suited the new champion system. Great thing is once they become a champion, you can change each of the covers anytime you want for no cost.

Well, having two characters significantly above my level screwed up the scaling for me. From what I read, the scaling used the average level of your top few characters, so I'm not sure bumping more characters up ahead of the rest of my roster would help in this respect. And given that there are forty 3* characters, bumping only a few to 166 would mean that I still wouldn't be able to use many of the 3* covers I could win (other than selling them for Iso).

So I'm basically in a position where I'd need to grind a lot to get the Iso to make use of the champion system, but will end up having to sell most of the prizes I win during that grind even though they'd be useful once I have the Iso. Not playing at all seems like the better option at this point.

Thanks to the champion system I picked up plenty of Legendary tokens and focusing on my 4 star characters with remaining ISO going towards the 3 stars. With the new system you can bump up the 3 stars up around 100 levels and 2 stars, 60 levels. Probably going to end up having stronger 3 stars than 4 stars again.

I am in the Day 640s now. Day 730 is Silver Surfer and Day 820 is Wolverine so I will have all three by then. I actually now have 3 Jean Grey, 5 star covers (Day 805 is another cover for her). There is no point in even trying to level them to max since it would take an eternity to do so and focus on the 4 stars.
