I hope you really do know and it’s not one of things where you think you know everything, but really don’t lol. There’s plenty available to conservatively get 10k shards every 2 weeks, but let’s say you are more casual and get 10k shards only once a month. Even in that lowest case scenario, your odds will still be GROWING to get a dupe versus 2 new champs added to the basic pool each month.
There’s somewhere around 100 5* champs in the base pool with 2 more added each month. So you have 19/100 5* champs which means a crystal you open right now has a 19% chance to dupe. You pull a new champ and in a month from now you get another 10k shards so you have a 20/102 chance of pulling a dupe or a 19.6% chance. Then 21/104, 22/106, etc. In the worst case scenario your chances are still increasing. Not even factoring in offers like July 4th’s massive haul or the fact that you can get more than 10k shards a month, your chances still increase. RNG is RNG, you could go 10 more crystals without getting a dupe that’s just how RNG works. “Targeting” champion/dupes can be achieved through other means like awakening gems, arena, and FGMCs.
Go grind for it like everyone else, instead of wanting kabam to release another higher priced crystal by class, something they will never do anyway and which would be probably astronomical in cost to a regular five star. Since you seem to have given us an answer to how many you’re earning total a month (not that many) I would imagine you wouldn’t be able to even afford this hypothetical class crystal anyway, and it still would have RNG.
The feels.
The statistics are the statistics. When 2 new champs are added a month and you can only pull 1 new, your chances to pull a dupe are still increasing. In your “catching-up” scenario, are you referring to being able to pull every single 5* champ in the game as they come out? Cause that’s not likely unless you’re a mega-spender or very lucky.
I think there’s nothing wrong with the duping system or the basic pool additions every 2 weeks. The root of the problem is that you want more dupes. More availability of 5* shards, more 5* awakening gems, more targeting methods of specific champs is the solution to that. Some people could make a case where they need more resources and that’s fair, but in your scenario you’re saying you have 19 5* champs and you want just ANY dupe. There’s plenty of those resources available if you know where to look. Sometimes it comes through offers sure, Kabam is a business and wants to capitalize on needs. But many of those end-game resources are available for “free” throughout act V and labyrinth of legends. If you’re not there yet then keep building your roster until you are. It sounds like you want more resources without putting in the time to achieve them, something else familiar I’ve heard before.
The way you word it makes it a RNG problem. You are upset you haven’t pulled any dupes because RNG has not been in your favor. Hey I wish RNG could’ve got me a 5* Corvus and 5* Domino but RNG didn’t give that to me. Doesn’t mean it’s always a problem with the system, just can be an unlucky streak. Also, don’t you think additional 5* shards or awakening gems are the solution to your problem?
Introducing the awakening gem crystal, gives you only 1 in 6 chance of getting the class you want but allows you to directly target any champ of class. Available in Act V, Labyrinth of legends, and occasional offers.
You're describing the featured 5* crystal.

I get it. I mean I don't care who I Dup, but I get it. Lol.
Nope wrong again, all my points about awakening gems are as valid as can be. There is no fundamental difference between duping a champ for the first time and using an awakening gem + 19 stones. If your biggest concern is getting a dupe, awakening gems are the way to go. That’s the whole purpose of them lol.
Yeah I get you.
@GroundedWisdom To be fair, 19 lifetime 5* crystals is hardly enough of a sample size to cry the system needs to be fixed, not RNG. I’m not trying to knock your progression or level in the game, but I think 19 total 5*s is still on the verge of a “progressing-player” and you still have a lot more 5* crystals to open and content to beat just playing through the game. Your RNG luck might fall below average at this point (though you have some good 5* already), but you need more 5* crystals for RNG and the system to even itself out. All it takes is one great 5* pull (like Blade) to blast your account into Uncollected and Act V where you’ll be swimming in 5* shards, awakening gems, T2A, 6* shards, etc. Progression will compound on itself getting more and more end-game resources allowing you to rank up champs higher and do more end-game content leading to even more end-game resources. That process happens relatively fast once you get into it and is a ton of fun. I don’t think you’re quite there yet, just trust in the system Kabam has built which is quite good for progressing players.
I actually just think this is plain rude. Hulksmash is actually giving you solid advice and presenting it in a well written and helpful way. You are just being rude, and I think he deserves an apology and for you to adress his points.

I am not trolling your post, I have always, up until my last post, added something that has added to the discussion. You, however, are just being insulting to many other users. I’ve left a reminder of the forum rules above.
As for the other one, that was admittedly trying to provoke a reaction. No one even addressed what I'm talking about, just kept repeating my comments on other Threads and telling me ways you can Awaken a Champ with harder content. Not at all what I was talking about. Even after I respectfully said I disagree and we can leave it at that, it was pressed with the same response, just to get a reaction. That is the very definition of trolling.
Let's not forget hopping over to another Thread to copy and paste my responses and make a farce out of it, then back to provoke some more here.
Now you want to take issue with me not acknowledging the discussion when it's still not even what I'm talking about?
I've had enough. Done. If people want to talk about what I brought up, I'm all ears. Some have already shown what their intentions are and I'm over the bull****. Save the act.
Wouldn't mind at this point. Lol. As I said, it's not just about me getting a Dup. The greater point I'm making is the difficulty people have in Awakening them, and how it will get worse.
