It's happened to a lot of people. Not that it should cheer you up. Sorry for your bad luck.

Odds are so low why even take the risk

Featured Crystals are just made for Kabam Employees.

nah, jk. i am starting to think that Featured Crystals have more chance at a trash champ. how is posible that most people who didn't get the Featured got pure trash? lol. maybe RNG is not with you man. my condolences.

I don’t see why they have the crystals setup this way. What’s the point in opening if you know 98.9% of time you’ll be disappointed...

Auf wiedersehen!

I hear ya @ariebrkl. It may be the most frustrating and poorly designed part of this game. I’ve commented on a few of these posts that 5* featured need to be changed. With a scaling system, so if you save for 5+ crystals..you should absolutely get the champ by the fifth crystal. Maybe your chances increase as you get to the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th but if you don’t have that given champ by then, you absolutely get him by the 5th.

If someone really wants a new champion enough to blow 3+ month resources on (75 5k shards) then they should deserve that champion.

I got a guy in my alliance that is 0 for 20 and then a guy that is 4 for 5 (mephisto, duped blade, and stark spidey) all in the last 3 months. How the **** does that work?

SlyCat42

What was the 7 featureds that you pulled?

I couldn't wait for that long if I had that many 5 star shards. When I get enough for a featured I just start thinking about what to use it on. Get tense if I'm stuck with shards and nowhere to use them.

Strategic

I know how you feel. I a few weeks ago saved and opened 36 PHC and got 3 3* from my 3* crystals I got **** and so was my 4* crystal
Yesterday I also grinded and finished master and did a grand opening of the following:
33 PHC = 3 old 3* champs
8 3* crystals = ALL old champs
4 4* crystals = spidergwen, spiderman, gamora and storm!
1 5* crystal = duped my Magik AGAIN and now she's sig 100 (ironically this was actually the "best" one out of all of them)!
I didn't even get 1 new 3*! Was hoping for at least a 3* Stark Spidey but noooooo.
ALL ****!!!
Meanwhile my alliance are opening nebulas stark spideys icemans etc etc e **** tc.
Game is 100% rigged especially against vet players who don't pay!

The OP and me should be friends. Thankfully, I watched someone pull 5* stark and I decided to try and i got OML and stopped. I at least have 70k left still to wait for december like planned, although ill still get all terrible pulls. Complaining about 5* magik dupes makes me very angry. I'd kill for her and I'd go on a killing spree for SL. I don't even have a 4* SL because I have 70 4*s and almost all of them I got from grinding arenas. I get the same champs from 4* crystals over and over.. magneto, falcon, deadpool, IP, IF, abomination, war machine, spider gwen, luke cage, etc. Those are all the heroes I do pull. In the one random chance I do get a decent hero, it's one I already got from areana. I have no SL, wolvie, ultron and AOU vision have been unduped for almost a year, etc.

I have not seen a 4* from PHC since April...and I grind every arena every time and get in top 10%. So, no it has nothing to do with not playing a lot. In fact, I noticed the people who don't play seem to get good pulls (kinda like someone who hasn't been to a casino will win right away to get them rehooked). Imagine the numebr of arena crystals I have opened, and I don't even have a 4* punisher.

If it was pure RNG, Kabam would have the drop rates posted. I think it has to do more with spending $$$ than anything.

Rap

As far as I have seen for mostly the featured is a loosing proposition and with additions, the rates must surely drop unless they keep the featured hero at a set percentage of the crystals content. But even before that constant complain about IP and Antman dropping. It is pretty much that way in every crystal. You hit the top.. or the ****...at about 3 percent tops spin 3 and beef up your stable by duping.

Rap

And get dem 6 shards

ContestOfNoobs

i heard u need some of my luck?

Drummer16

For the love of god I need luck. I am going to seriously quit soon if this keeps up when I open the rest of my 5* in dec because I am becoming averse to opening crystals, which means I won't ever spend and means I won't want to play something that isn't fun.

G0311

If you feel so bad from bad pulls that you want to quit, then theres your problem. Don't put some much emphasis on 5 stars making you happy. Shrug it off and move on or quit.

Freyes1968

It’s only a game, don’t take it too seriously and try to enjoy while you are at it. Peace!

SpiritOfVengeance

My suggestion for the featured 5 star is that they should be a guaranteed buy for a specific amount of shards one time only for each featured hero that is new and you only have like dunno 12 hours or hell even an hour to watch out for that featured hero offer and that would be tbe only chance you can get it guaranteed for like 50k 5 star shards.

I went 1 for 11 on sparky and got cage, kamela, groot in first 5 pulls. It is what it is. Got him on my 10th.

Player1994

the more you open the worser u get u should try 1 time if u get a crazy trashy champ call it a day and i'm so sorry to say this kabam but 5* are even not closer to random :
90% trash
1% a descent champ

why the hell on earth there is old champs in featured crystals ?!?!?!?!?!? they must have only new champ and make them worth 20k shards nothing random when u open 5 and find them all trash nothing random

SomeoneElse

The odds are extremely poor. You only have yourself to blame.

KHAOS

Nice to know I’m not the only one with bad luck on these crystals. I’m 0 for 15 on featured 5*. Each time I think my luck will change. Im a bad gambler lol

Deadbyrd9

You aren’t guaranteed a good champ which is why I don’t save for featureds

SpiderCools

If its not too much bother, what champs did you get? I for one don't get featured crystals because you're gambling 15k shards for a champ that you have a chance at getting from spending 10k shards

Bullybreed

Hahaha...im 0 for 20 on featured 5*..i havent even pulled a sub featured from them either...so i know your pain. I also missed stark spidey, again. This most recent miss along with the culmination of the others has displeased me more than any nerf or change or bs kabam has made to the game...they need to fix this. Why not just buy an account with the champs you want??

BuzzBee

I feel sorry for you man. Not sure if this gonna ease your pain but I learned to never ever go for Featured. Wait for that 5* to be added to the pool. After like 3-4 months.

It is like waiting for the dvdrip copy in torrent of a great movie you've been wanting to watch.

WOK

Only Sparky I have is a 2*. A friend of mine opened 1 5* featured and got him. Then a short time later, opened a 4* and got him. LOL

Master_Mordo

I have seen worse, check on Seatin's youtube, he opened 35 featured crystals for blade and didn't get it.
someone had also opened 2 featured crystals for Blade and got it twice.

I cant say anything but it's just about luckiness.

WOK

And someone posted about PHC's. I've gone 0 for 200+ without getting a 3 or 4*. An alliance mate went 350+ with equal results. LOL
Whether this could be true or not, I'm led to believe that "diminishing returns" might also be implemented into the crystal drops. Fairly consistent news of players just starting out pulling all kinds of good stuff with phc's etc....and the opposite with players that are 2yrs+ in the game with large rosters. Who knows?

Great for noobs and tough shiet for the rest of us I guess. ;-)

People seem very confused about the concept of diminishing returns.

It has nothing to do with drop rates or anything like that. It's just a change to the way the game calculates character stats. Basically the more they stack on each other it starts giving less and less return each time it goes up.

It is usually in games to prevent number spikes from percentage values, and to control variance on things like critical chance. It doesn't affect flat damage increases or PHC drop rates or anything like that.

If you've ever played League of Legends all the stats in that game work like that pretty much. Like the amount of actual reduction to physical damage armor is giving you starts to cap out at a certain level etc.

WOK

@SlyCat42 , I understand the concept of diminishing returns and its function both in-game and in general circumstances.
I apologize if my comment gave the impression that it actually is implemented in the crystal drops. It was merely inuendo and wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
I've never played Leaugue of Legends, and have no reason to doubt or question how it integrates diminishing returns.
