Marvel Avengers Alliance PVP Suggestions (Something Needs to Change)

Okay, this is going to possibly have some holes since I am just speaking off the top of my head, but if MAA wants to hear some suggestions from fans regarding a PvP change here is something that I would like them to consider.

The PvP Season lasts 21+ days, there are many frustrating things, some fixable (like bugs) some not so easily addressed, such as the amount of offline/defensive losses. However, one of the most ridiculous and frustrating aspects is the amount of defensive battles and subsequent losses that take place on the last day and in the final hours. This incredibly ridiculous rush at the end completely negates the prior 20+ days of PvP.

Let me ask you, what season or event that lasts almost a month can be 100% won and lost in the last day by people who haven't even competed in the first 3 weeks. Literally, you can choose not to participate the entire time and come in and get a Vibranium or Adamantium spot. Meanwhile, someone who has been Adamantium and dedicated the entire season can suffer so many defensive losses that they lose their rewards all on the last day or in the last few hours alone. And to make matters worse, not everyone receives the same amount of offline battles. (At the very least address this).

There are those who say you cannot limit attacks or defenses, but certainly there must be a way to reward the dedicated players who break their backs all season long and do well mind you, winning most of their attacks. I don't know if there can be a hard cap on points won or lost, but there has to be some solution. Perhaps if there was a daily limit to battles, you would have to fight each and every day to win your let's say 10 attacks and those who take the time and effort to do so would have a better chance of maintaining a higher rating throughout without the threat of losing it all on the final day.

This would also help those who have to work on Monday or Tuesday and need to be in bed or whatever the case may be. The ending time is quite unfair to a lot of people all over the world and this would lessen the importance of that final day.

Another solution that came to my mind at one point was to have a blind ending. Just don't give an official time for the Season to end. End it abruptly at some point and vary the number of days and ending time. That will force someone to maintain their rating, although I'm sure this solution might end up being an unpopular one.
