119 heroes in a 6 star crystal and you're probably opening 1-2 a month at most
So we now have 119 heroes in a 6 star crystal. Most of them are not good heroes to use anywhere. We open 1 maybe two crystal a month...and this makes sense to someone?
The featured cost 15,000 shards and in general 4 out of 12 are worth getting.
Opening crystals you wait weeks to open to get one of the 85% of the heroes that are not useful is one way to keep a game stale.
I can convince myself that maybe 30 out of those are worth an r3 but due to the RNG of t5c the number drops to maybe 6 out of 120 that if I pulled and wasted a generic awakening gem I could awaken and then r3. Means I'd still be sitting on t5c because I'm not going to rank something because I can. Takes me back to when I almost quit having to rank up black panther and captain marvel as 5 stars to r4 along with classic ultron. Not going back to that. Quitting would make more sense in retrospect.
