In my 4-5 rank gem I received the gem I already had 2 r5's in. I think the gem should be generic, not sure why we still leave some of the most impactful rewards to luck and chance.

Well, that really won't work. You are getting the same as everyone else here

I'm joking with the refund part, but it really shouldn't be random. Was quite a bit of effort to get it done, so a generic would make more sense. And of course there is nothing more frustrating getting back luck after a long grind :P

It's a long grind regardless if you space it out for months or get it done in a day. Not sure why you would favor luck and chance infront of generic.

I called this in another thread. People proclaiming these rewards as insane. They are only decent rewards if you can use them. Rng/luck in this game dictates that most of those rewards will collect dust for a long time in most summoners inventories.

That's not comparing random verses non-random rewards. That's comparing a good reward against a better reward. Of course most people always want more. But random rewards offer a chance at something better than average. Non-random rewards offer the same thing to everyone, and by definition that thing must be just average.

People don't hate random rewards, they hate not getting the best rewards. They think they can eliminate the randomness by just making all rewards awesome. But that's impossible. Alternatively, if all rewards become immutably average, the game gets boring and no one looks forward to rewards, and that kills the game. There's a reason why random rewards are so common, and it isn't because everyone hates them. Everyone *says* they hate them, but then they don't play the games with the average pedantic non-random rewards.

I’ve gotten 4 straight 5* cosmic AGs it’s actually ridiculous and borderline impossible. Based on the multitude of players that have multiple of one class I would say it’s rigged in some way.

I've pulled 3 tech in a row but I awakened starlord then ghost now waiting for stark spidey so it isn't so bad. It's in no way borderline impossible, there have been hundreds of thousands of awakening gems opened through the course of this game's existence, hitting a 1/6 chance 4 times in a row is unlucky in this case for sure but definitely in the realm of possibility

You say borderline impossible but it's actually a 1/216 chance to pull 4 of the same class in a row.
Unlucky yes but impossible? certainly not

My last 3 5 star ags have all been tech. Used one on imiw, saving other 2

I pulled loki from a 4* crystal 4 times in a row in the past month... Assuming there are 120 champs in the crystal thats approx 1 in 207million.

^that is borderline impossible but hey people still win the american powerball and thats like 1 in some hundreds of millions

Back on topic: the whether the rewards are worth the effort is just subjective. Personally i feel rushing it getting it done all at once they arent worth it. Doing it over time, patiently, not even using units for energy refills I think it is definately worth it.

I will say, there are clear champs that you can have that make this content actually very very easy.

While the odds of pulling loki from 4 straight crystals is 1 in 207m you're not bringing it up because it was loki you would be brining it up whichever champ it was so the odds of pulling the same champ 4 times in a row is roughly 1 in 1.7million which while still extremely unlikely doesn't seem quite as ridiculous a thing to happen with the number of players regularly opening 4*s

Actually pulling Loki 4 times in a row is 1/120 because each crystal is it's own event. But the mods have never explained that before

Yes each crystal is its own event but that does not mean its a 1/120 chance to pull loki 4 times in a row.
Think if you roll 4 dice, each one is its own event and has a 1/6 chance of landing on a 6 but that does not mean its a 1/6 chance for you to roll 4 6s

What are the odds of pulling Loki fifty times in a row?

Technically, the odds stay the same each roll. 1/120. However, probability is another story. That can be estimated and calculated. Realistically, when it comes to RNG, duplicates are not unheard of. Within 2 weeks, I pulled the 2, 3, and 4* Guillotines.

I know the odds each roll stay the same thats why i agree each crystal is its own event, I'm pointing out that the probability to pull loki 4 times in a row is definitely not 1/120

Based on Buttehrs mathematical theory it would be 1/120

These gems should all be generics. This would beneficially affect all accounts equally whereas random is just random if the gems could benefit one’s account. I don’t understand why the insistence of random knowing some players have been and will continue to disproportionately negatively affected compared to other players. How is this good for the game?

According to kabam its 1/120 lol but to us normal folk it seems more like 4 out of 5 lmao.

Same can be said about hero crystals. I’m done being RNG’s ****.

@I_Like_Turtles how many units did it cost not counting energy refills? All good if you don't want to say.
