Free to play Algorithm

Kopara7

So is there an algorithm that keeps free to play players from getting good champs? I used to get good pulls when I spent money on the game. Now that I don’t, that’s definitely changed. Has anyone else had this problem?

No there isn’t.

I mean, if you’re being technical, the fact that you’ve spent on your account makes you not free to play.

I haven’t spent in like 4 years and I’ve gotten some sick pulls. It’s just RNG my dude.

Opening crystals is like playing the lottery. It’s possible that no matter how many crystals you open you may never get the results you are looking for.

Your tinfoil is on too tight.

No. People who spend may see "better" pulls because a lot of times the buy in bulk. I don't spend anymore and I've gotten some amazing pulls from this 6* feature alone. It is RNG and bad RNG comes in waves

You’ll see posts in the forums breaking up the math and saying that everything is fine. I’ll keep my tinfoil hat on.

I used to wonder if there were just certain accounts that had good RNG. I went like 0-26 on the old 20% featured crystals and had a guy in my alliance that literally got the featured champ with 1 or 2 tries every time. It drove me nuts. I would still say that I've been on the unlucky side most of my career. But it's never made a difference whether I've spent or not spent. It's just luck. There are no account specific algorithms. The game doesn't scan your items to see what you don't need. It doesn't unlock the good crystal pulls to spend. Kabam has many flaws, but they aren't just flat out lying to everyone about how crystals work.

I spend often and for the past month my pulls have been terrible. RNG.

Then you should find another accessory

If you spend, you generally open more crystals. Thus giving the feeling of getting more champions more often. You kind of just forget about the bad pulls.

You spend money on the game (help Kabam paying the bills, keep this game free for F2P players etc.) then you should also have a much better chance for pulling good stuff. Unfortunately I don't think that's the case but
but I would have ZERO issues with that approach. Just common sense.

Making paying players get ahead more than they already are is not a good idea.
Your analogies fail.
Money should not make you entitled to better stuff in-game.

I'm a big spender and can tell you it zero impact on your pulls other than you have more opportunities. I dropped $600 on Omega Sentinel Cavs and only got the 5* once out of all 60 crystals.

I've opened probably 20ish, if not more, featured 6* crystals and no kitty Pryde or Anti-Venom. Pulled Knull once and Ikaris and Sersi.

If what you say is true, I should have every top champ in the game duped.

Despite all the theories otherwise, this is the most likely explanation. People who spend get more chances at good pulls (most of which, if we are being honest, are bad in general), so it appears the spenders have better rosters.

There are people who play the lottery only once and win. Those people are extremely uncommon. But you cannot win if you don’t play—hence, why the lottery winners are usually recurring weekly players. They just take that once in a blue moon shot more frequently.

My 4th 6 star was CGR and my first Cav crystal I bought with units gave me a 6* Longshot. I haven't spent any money on this game. RNG is RNG

Hey there, just to reiterate what others have already said, there are not separate algorithms, drop rates, etc. for those who spend or don't spend. They're the same for everyone.
