First of all I would like to specify that I am not against the compensation at all and affected users should have been compensated. I am also not against KT1 whose video I will use for reference. My concern is about the format of the compensation, about the decision Kabam has made. Nobody to blaim except Kabam.

Here is the link to KT1 opening of compensation for 7* crystal problem
https://youtu.be/rIEi0WPQn7E?si=L8S2yes3I04MztgC.

It is a good example of what is vrong with compensation if you just notice what he puts in the focus.
At first I really appreciate that in the beginning he said that current compensation format is wrong and there could be better solution which was many times suggested on forums.
At second, let me summarize main points of this video:
- Crystals to open: 48 from compensation + 1 was already saved.
- Initial titan shards on the account: 14688
- New champions gained that were in previous pool: Hood.
- Dupes on significant champions which were in previous pool: Prowler x2, Knull X3, Shocker x1, Titania x1, Enchantress x2, Havok x1, Bullseye x1, Spiral x1. I do not count champions which are mid-level in my opinion. But just from this set - all of these champions like dupes and these dupes are equivalent of 240 sig stones (more than 2 odins during cyber monday).
- New champions from newly added to the pool: Dr Vodoo.
- Dupes on newly added champions to the pool: Omega Red x1, Mole Man x1, Mr Sinister x1, Isophyne x1, Cap Marvel x1, Anti Venom x1. (I hope I did not miss somebody).
- Total pulled champions from newly added: 7 from 49 crystals. So, only 7 crystals are effective and 42 crystals are literally a free addition to prestige or some champions force.
- Titan shards after pulling: 44688. Effectively +30k titan shards. Note that with his initial opening he also got 30k titan shards. So, he got 3 titan crystals from dupes while others got just 1,5.
- Overall reaction: KT1 mainly talks about how nice that he got these 60 sig levels on Knull and 40 sig levels on Prowler. He almost saying nothing about newly added champions, except mentions that he wanted Black Panther.

I also wanted to analyze Vega's video, but it required sponsorship and now it is disappeared. I do not know what was in this video, but guess it could be in similar format.

To sum up, my thoughts are:
- Compensation is unfair. It would be better to give people 10 nexus selectors between newly added champions and it would be a lot better and nobody would complain. Current compensation fair just for ~14% (7 out of 49 crystals pulled newly added champion). All other is a very crazy and very good stuff for "lucky person at lucky time".
- It is not KT1's fault or somebody else's fault how they react to that. Everybody who receives compensation and protects it on forums like "it is fair since we also need chance to pull new champions" - they are right and wrong at the same time. They deserve this chance. But they deserve it in fair way to other players as well! But, I cannot blame them. I would react exactly the same. I would think exactly the same like "ookay, I will ramp up my prestige for free, I will get more titan shards". I would care about new champions just a little.
- It is only Kabam's fault of their bad decision how to make this compensation.
