20 5* Feature Crystals - This Feature Crystal System Doesn't Reward Hard Work

0 Doom, 0 Guilly 99 - 3 months of saving and playing - it's not a healthy system of effort - reward as it currently stands. In the old system, there was a 20% chance of pulling the feature champion and now it's 4%. How does a system like this encourage players? It needs to return to the old system or perhaps have a system where the history of pulls affects the next pull.

Am I motivated to support Kabam and the game now? No - I'm sure I'm not the only player.

RNG has been a part of this game from day 1. Of course if you pulled 1 doom and 1 guilly99, you wouldn't be on here posting about this "issue" either. The featured crystals changed almost 2 years ago.

shoud've just stuck to the basic crystals

Not that i'm a fan of the system, but we probably get more than 5 times the shards that we got back years ago so you actually have a higher chance of pulling the champ. People used to save for months and months to have 5-6 featured chances, now you can open 25+ per batch

I opened about 15 of those features as well as buying about 90 of the 300 unit Doom crystals. Still no Doom so I feel ya.

Not sure how people dont get this. At the current rate we get 5* shards you'd be able to guarantee getting every single new 5* champ just about.

I dont like how far in the other direction it swung but anyone that thinks the old system is still viable is fooling themselves

I opened 15 of these crystals for Doom and pulled every featured champ except Doom and Elsa. That's how RNG works. You were never guaranteed to get him

Stick to basics, it's more worth it. As mentioned above, you wouldn't be ranting here if you opened 2 and pulled each champ.

Depending on how active you are, it is much higher than that. People are comparing our earning rate today against our earning rate the day the old featured disappeared. But that was *after* the 5* shard ramp up began, and part of the reason the old crystal was removed - Kabam explicitly stated this back then. If we wanted to keep the old crystal we couldn't keep that rate of shard earning, we would have had to go back to about when 5* shards were about as hard to get as 6* shards are now - maybe even less.

Compared to the rate of 5* shards that existed when the old featured was introduced I'm earning 5* champions at about twenty times the rate.

If it is not a healthy system of effort/reward, why exactly did you choose to buy the crystals? There's absolutely no secret to how they work or what their drop odds are. Everyone who buys them is, or at least should be, fully informed about that choice. You can't blame anyone but yourself for your choices. The game's design didn't force you to spend your shards on them. The game didn't psychologically manipulate you into spending your shards on them. You're only unhappy because you didn't get what you wanted, not because the crystals are "unhealthy."

Unless I'm conducting an experiment or something, generally speaking I only buy the discounted featured available in the Sigil. Otherwise I buy the basic crystal, because it has the better return. I know what I'm getting when I acquire those crystals, and I make my decision based on my own best judgment. Nothing and no one influences that judgment, and I don't even perceive any way in which the game is trying to influence that decision. It just presents it, and leaves me alone to make my choice. I make it, and I stand by it, and I blame no one else for it.

Thre definition of RNG is "you will get nothing and LIKE IT!" 🤣😁🤣
