Yeah I think that's going to prove key to making a more viable long-term plan here. Essentially I envision needing to have several different team options, with early picks being flexible enough to fit into multiple different teams.

I haven't got there yet, mainly because I don't have some of the more all-around useful champs, like Duchess/Siphi or Warlord/Yumeko. But I'm getting closer.

Yumeko basically is in my teams to get banned lol

first imperssion needs a lot more work. need to have level caps menaing both up and down can not get matches someone say 5+ above or below since even that is a lot and if they actually have the player counts they say should be more than duable

Gotta say the only complaint so far is the limited time slots.  As it is I'll only be able to play during one of the slots at most on most days.  And that's not a given.  Even if I'm available, it seems extreme that I be forced to focus on this at a specific time slot.

is there a reason for this limitat?

If I had to guess? Artificially-enforced scarcity to drive up demand.
