How to motivate myself to keep playing after such bad luck?

in General Discussion
I just explored variant 3, my rewards:
- 5 star Groot
- My 3rd Science AG with no one to use it on
- A Science 4-5 Gem wirh no one to use it on

My 2nd best science champion after Cap IW (who is already r5) is Yellowjacket. I also have Rhino, Sentry, and Hulk (OG)

It’s my 3rd science AG in a row and it’s just so unmotivating to always get bad pulls.

    You'll get Void, Human Torch, Thing, or whoever, in due course.

    Just gotta get back on the horse and keep going, knowing that you've got the materials for when you need/want them.

    I'm sitting on two Skill AGs and a 4-5 gem in the hopes that I'll one day pull Aegon, Fury, or Blade. Waiting...

    I’m gonna go all out on the mystic science dual class crystals

    Brooding over pulls and rng and luck is just the worst things you can do in a rng based game.

    One with there seeming to be 1-2 Champion Buffs Every Month now I'd focus on the fact that Eventually one of your Science Champions will get Buffed and now you have the option to Rank and Awaken them Immediately (also Groot is almost Guaranteed to get a Buff as he's one of the Biggest Meme Tier Champions), and Two with the Duel Class 5 Star Basic Crystals coming soon you can Increase the Odds of getting a good 5 Star Science (or any other Class of choice) Dramatically.

    Also Always Expect to get something Useless, that way either you didn't have your hopes up when it's bad or you're Extra Excited when it's good... 😂

    Simple. Accept bad luck as part of the game and move on. The game create “bad” time for players such that they are thrilled when getting good pull. These intentional up-and-down is actually the real motivation for players to continue the game. If everything is so easy to obtain, no one treasure and start to feel boring easily. That’s human behaviour.

    I pulled two consecutive 6 star groots and I used 15k units going for Guardian and my top pull from all those crystals was a 6 star Joe Fixit and a 5 star domino. You have to take the good with the bad. I have tons of stuff waiting to be used gems awakening crystals... believe me it’s better to have those things sitting around because once you do land the right champs it’s effortless to take them up.

    Life is like a ripple in a calm sea.There are many ups and downs alternating with each other. After every down ,what comes next is the phase of happiness. So sit tight, focus and who knows what you are going to get next😉.

    Target the 5 star featured crystal and get yourself a Red Guardian or Wasp

    My 5 mystic gems say talk to the hand.

    There are tons of good science champs, they have just yet to come. And groot is a true god!
  • WRIRWRIR Member Posts: 563 ★★★
    The dual class crystal comes soon. Open science/mystic and hope for a good science champ
  • HieitakuHieitaku Member Posts: 1,374 ★★★★★
    Just get over it, I guess. It happens to everyone.

    I explored Variant 2 and got:
    20 sigs on 5* Iron Fist
    2nd mystic rank 4 gem (2015/2016)
    3rd mystic rank 5 gem (Variant 3 and 4 also gave me mystic rank 5s)

    I already had Doom and Claire at 5/65 at the time. The only mystics left unranked in my roster were mostly arena fodder champs. 🤷‍♂️

    Rule number 1) DO NOT RUSH.

    For example, when the rewards is a 5* crystal and 5* AG crystal, you need to analyze if it's worth your time to get them.

    You also need to consider the possibility getting a bad champ from that crystal.
    So it means if you're rushing to do it (meaning do it with units and wallet), and get a bad champ, you will get disappointed.

    What I did was take my time. I farmed potions and revives, and then I did Variant.

    When I didn't have good counter, I just stopped and wait until I got good counter from the 5* shards I got from other sources.
    As a s result, I now have 100% V2 until V4. Just 100% V2 yesterday.

    For V1, I'll need to do some farming.
    Plus, since it's the first Variant, I believe it's like a rough sketch where KABAM put the hardest node combo with the worse possible champs with the least counters available.

    99% of the time, the first project is always the crude one no matter where you live.

    So, yeah. I'll just take my time. Now I'm a super happy person.

    I had a bad run of luck, and when my fortunes changed for the better I couldn’t keep up lol. Now I’m in gold and ISO poverty....and if I HAD the gold and ISO I’d soon run out of catalysts.

    I don’t know what’s worse. Having the champions and knowing it’s going to be a while before you can rank 4 or 5 them...or having the resources and waiting for someone worthy to use them on.

    I feel you man, I haven't got anything good in months on my main account except a Medusa that I was lucky to get from a Grandmaster, but I don't have Catalysts for her neither a important use right now and also not even a AG for her. My last pulls were both versions of Cyclops, Iron Patriot, Rhino, Kingpin and don't get me started on 6*. I am playing less and less because of this.

    I think the truth is that alot of us are playing less and less...bad rng drops are only part of what takes your interest in playing away. All the bugs, terrible war matchs, lack of alliance member interest and participation. Ridiculously long delays in recieving what you have won...
