    Only 32 champs aren't available as a 6*.

    So if they are putting the worst champions left in this crystal, that means eventually a future featured crystal is going to have to be amazing, right? I mean, if you think Kabam is trying to maximize misery, wouldn't the best strategy be to have every featured crystal have some good ones and some bad ones? If you make one crystal deliberately worse than average, you eventually have to make one much better than average. Isn't this the basic strategy for counting cards in Blackjack? Wait until a bunch of bad cards happens to get dealt and the count gets horrible, so you know the deck is now stacked with much better (for the player) cards?

    A 6* SW WOULD be too OP.

    I want to believe you. I really do. But I reckon half of them won’t come. Unless the next year of champs is going to be awful it would be way too good. Ridiculously good. I hope you’re right but I have severe reservations
    Suppose half never come. That still leaves the other half that will come. The point is still that if your job was to make the crystals as frustrating as possible, wouldn't you want to spread those out as much as possible? Wouldn't you make sure no crystal contained *none* of them, because you would always want crystals to contain one or two of them, dribbled out slowly? I know that's what I would do, were it my job.

    Either Kabam isn't trying to make the crystals as frustrating as possible, or they are trying but are extremely bad at it. Both of those possibilities seem okay for the players. Unfortunately, it will take quite some time to know which is which.

    Thats what I am hoping for, if kabam keeps this strategy then next featured crystal will be insane but knowing their track record I would say the entire design of the featured crystal will change between now and then

    They make careful decisions when considering Champions being as strong as the old OP ones since 12.0. Do we have strong Champs? Absolutely. That wasn't what the goal was. However, those Champs have weaknesses as well. It's not really about Champs being good at X or Y. When you look at SW, she's good at X + Y + Z + A + B, and the combination of those strengths is what makes her OP. Right now, she's still strong, but not what she used to be. Increase her Rarity, and she becomes pretty much unstoppable.

    What makes you say this? Who’s going to hold Kabam accountable for changing the “rules” that they set for the featureds once all that’s left are good to great champs and the next crystal is chock full of repeat trash anyway? There’s no gaming commission they’re beholden to.
    Side Note: I wonder what Kabam uses to determine the combined effectiveness, desirability, and availability value of a featured crystal. Hopefully they aren’t just eyeballing it.

    In a perfect world, there's a set of professional standards I would hold game developers to, and a set of credibility standards I would hold game forum participants to, but unfortunately I have to live in this world, because that one doesn't exist.

    This classic addition pool is atrocious. There should at least one or two good classic champs added when they do this. Instead they picked basically the worst classic champs available. It’s straight noodle hands and meme tier that they added.

    Its unfortunate and honestly appalling they continue to do this and honestly make it worse every time. I’m sure no one is here saying “you know we really need another magneto in the 6* version”.

    The 6* basic pool is already feast or famine but with each new feature getting worse and worse from classic champ addition standpoint and eventual release of that pool to the basic they find a way to fill it with more trash than solid champs. It would have been better adding no classic champs than this. This makes opening a 6* odds dip more toward being a useless pull after waiting a month or two for most people to pull the champ.

    That’s depressing and becoming really frustrating for folks. Feeling like no matter what you do the rng is weighed against you making progress on your roster is just pretty cruddy and makes the game less for for no reason.

    Please consider this going forward because this is becoming a problem with the 6* crystal filling up with all the champs we don’t want from the classic pools.

    No one expects all the champs in the featured to be "god tier" but they include way too many low use dogs to make it worth extra shards to me. The rng has always hated me anyway, and my massive 4 star "god tier" roster (everyone on the gt list before surfer forward) didn't come from crack them out of crystals, i had ta win just about every last one of them. So i expect that will be the case with the 5 and six star champions worth having. Doubt i will ever get featured crystals...don't see value in em.

    If there is one champ I will not get from featured is Kamala khan....I don’t care who is added if she is in there I’m not spinning a feature crystal.

    Why happened to all the new feature champs that came out. Why are they always recycling the 1st 10 feature champs 🤷🏽‍♂️.
