Well, champed Carnage and a second cover for Bill, so definitely in prime position to begin a vigorous hoarding. We'll see what I actually manage against my impulse control issues.
I used to be the same way.
First of all, lots of math and numbers crunching convinced me to try stockpiling. Seeing the better expectations helped motivate me.
Second, it's takes willpower to break the habit, but once you manage to do it and see the results, it isn't hard to keep doing it.

Truly for me it's a lot to do with the heroes. I think Bill is fun, but not in the same way I'm a fan of Kitty or the eventual Darkhawk, so it should be easier to hold onto things and see who the next 5* is and then hopefully get one when it's needed, and then wait for Carnage to leave, too.
If they pick the right hero for the next 5* though, then I might sludge through Carnage champ levels just to get more of Nova+Worldmind or someone at that level of my personal fandom.

I can’t seem to stockpile. Sometimes I’ll save up CP if I know a special vault is on the way but usually I’m burning tokens to try and get my 5*’s champed. I could hault when the most current is 13’ed but I tend to feel I need to keep drawing to “stay ahead” of any possible lulls on the other champs getting covers (and let’s be honest, there often are as it’s not unheard of me to go 50+ LL’s with no 5*; my record is somewhere over 150 when I got so frustrated I stopped counting).
Basically, I feel I need to be continually drawing cards to stay up with the curve and that’s especially more so with the removal of BH making it tougher to get new 4*s full covered.

Wow, you're still on this site? I have not seen a post from you in years. I assume you play mafia with 60+k posts. Welcome to the thread!

The first time in a long time I am "caught up" in the game. I have no toons to roster. I have coming up on 800CP and can fit up to 5 new-to-me toons. Wiccan and Emma are the only unrostered non-limited 4*s I am waiting on because I have just never pulled their covers. I figure I am just going to stockpile tokens and have a big opening at some point later.
While there are some of you who would wonder why I would wait the reason is simple. When it comes to standard/elite/heroics I want to be able to open enough to where when a 2* is champed I will have a decent amount of restock for the farm where I don't feel like I am "stuck". I am also at a point where 3*s are less and less useful since I have 4*s and 5*s like Gritty, Juggy, Carnage, Medusa, and others. LLs I don't want to spend until there is something new in the vault. Stockpiling CP is helpful as well.
Time for the waiting to open game.

I had actually taken a break from here starting almost four years ago. I popped on a couple times during that period for a month or so each and this is a brief foray back (last year I did none other than a look once at units; I filed divorce in 2018 and it rather ate up 2019). I’m back for a little bit.
Yes, it is pathetic of me that those post amounts still are holding up from almost half a decade ago.

Traditionally, that's the one I like to get.
In general the way that covers are awarded works out that slot one is the "hard" one to get (for me).
There places to get new guy covers are:
1st PVP (awarded for placement)
2nd PVP (awarded for progression)
1st PVE (awarded for placement)
2nd PVE (awarded for progression)
Store
Vault
Training
I never count on getting the 1st PVP placement.
The 2nd PVP progression is usually slot 3.
The 1st PVE I can generally bank on T50. This gets me one each of the bottom two slots.
The 2nd PVE generally gets the color added for T50 in the prior PVE, so this generally is slot 2.
The store and vault are open and vary person to person, so I cannot bank on those.
My expectation at the end of it all is 0/2/2 plus whatever I snagged in the Training. That's why I prefer to get slot 1 in the training. It gets me a fully colored toon (1/2/2) instead of someone with an empty slot (0/2/3 or 0/3/2).
I am a little more convinced that Northstar is not good. In the first Simulator match when you have your boosted Fantastic, Vulture, and Northstar, guess who got KOd? That's right, Northstar. I don't have high hopes for this toon.
Watch D3 give us a boss event soon and prize us a complete color set of Northstar for progression.

My morning WF moment. Historically, I go into slice 1, which is a 7am EST start time. So this morning, I settle into work, wait for the clock to get to 6:20 and start booting up the game so I can do my final grind (aiming for T10 placement for Northstar).
And the game tells me I have more than 5 hours to go.
Because I went into slice 2, because when I looked at my schedule for the weekend, it made the most sense.
But for a second there, I was afraid I had come into work MUCH too early.

I tend to find that I base my optimal scheduling around the end of an event due to the higher points.
I'm also aiming for T10. T20 is pretty much a given right now, but T10 may be tight.
