This isn't Phoenix Force Cyclops, clown

It’s locked so they don’t get tons of tickets from dummies picking the wrong one.

Bros. The issues with banquet are the same. Every year, they are the same.

If you look at the milestones you can earn and you don’t find the milestones compelling, you are setting yourself up for a few deeply frustrating weeks.

The drop rates and crystal structure may change, but the facts are, if you go into this event hoping to pull a trophy champ, or get all six keys without spending $$$, or forming enough r5s to r5 a champ, you are doing it wrong.

If you think the milestones are good and will help your account (like I do), then treat the crystal drops as gravy. But if you NEED th crystals to break in your favor in order to to feel good about the event, you are probably going to be disappointed.

Milestones are where the prizes are my guy.

Here's the thing though, what's done is done. It's not changing.

And then you're highly likely to get 1/20th's of a T5A from that!

For me, banquet is the chance to obtain the trophy champions (Jessica Jones, Weapon X, Thanos, Kang, Vision). These champions have not been available for a while, even in lower rarities.

Last year, a 7-star trophy selector was awarded to the Top 3% Realm Event Ranked Rewards, and also a Real Event milestone.

This year, it is only for Top 25 Alliance Event Ranked Rewards. This completely shut down my chance to obtain those champions.

I do not expect to get Punisher at all since he is the brand new trophy champ, but the older champs like Jessica Jones, Weapon X, Vision, and even Scarlet Witch Classic, could have been included. Their exclusion ruined this year's banquet for me.

That t5a drop rate is way too high for the amount you get. I get it's there for the whale chase but there has to be a better way to satisfy that need. That's a L pull for the majority of the player base who will have no need for it for 3-6 months.

I'm just a bit confused because the jubilant odds of the 7* punisher (0.5%) and rare champ selector (1%) I see when combined with the jubilant crystal chance only being 7.75% chance itself (would be slightly higher with the grace) seem to make the 7* trophies rarer than they are in the greater banquet crystal (0.02% and 0.04%). 0.5% and 1% of a 7.75% crystal would be quite significantly rarer than this.

They usually give a gift on those dates that is progression based, might be worth it just in case. And it is always a good idea to get to the next level of progression if possible.
