Marvel Avengers Alliance: Forum Patch Notes: PvP Season 10 (2013/08/15)

PVP Teams and Gear Loadouts
PVP Season 10 Brings the highly anticipated feature of separate gear loadouts for PVP and Missions. Not only that, but players can actually choose different heroes and uniforms as well. Players will even get two PVP teams (one for offense and one for defense) which will provide a great amount of new strategy.

To summarize, players now have:
- A Missions Team, uniforms, and gear loadouts
- An Offensive PVP Team, uniforms, and gear loadouts
- A Defensive PVP Team, uniforms, and gear loadouts

Each team may also use the same heroes, uniforms, and gear if the player so chooses.


PVP Season 10
We have spent a considerable amount of time on changing the opponent selection system for PvP Season 10. Users should no longer face the same opponent multiple times in a row, and the list of challengers should be much more vast.

We have also removed the ELO gain that opponents would get if a CVE occurred while attacking.
