While it is nice to have a new event, it comes way too early imho.
The mechanics are still too flawed to be fun.
It's the fifth Week now and i think that many players encountered the autoplay problem on the own team and/or facing the same 2 teams ad nauseam by now.
I just "played" against Mummy, Prisoner, blue General and SSD - one of the two "Endgame" teams. He got first. It took 5 or 6 rounds before he killed me but i never had a single chance to do anything.
This is extremly common at higher Ranks.
The new Talismans don't help at all. They are way to expensive and restricted to green and yellow only. They are worthless in the second round, first with siege.
The lower Ranks have some great, fun teams with various toons and i've seen some very interesting fights on my life partners account.
Of course i also use SSD and sometimes Mummy with CC, it simply makes no sense using any other toons. My CRE isn't skilled, and probably won't be ever.
I'm most certainly not complaining because of loosing too many fights. I'm at #14 and only lost 30 Ranks (from under #20) over night.
I'm just a common player. And playing should be rewarding and fun - not the opposite.
There must be a way who to make CC work and PvP worth to waste time.
