Remove Basic champs from FEATURED crystals 😑

Terminatrix

Why is this STILL a thing? What's the reasoning behind this nonsense?

Featured crystals should have FEATURED champs only. The point of spending more shards is to get a FEATURED champ, not a basic one that's already in the basic pool. Wasting 15,000 shards on a basic champ that we can get for 10,000 shards is absurd.

Then don't do it. They can't just give us a 100% chance of getting a new champion that we want out of a crystal. Featured crystals are made to be high risk high reward, and you're asking them to just eliminate the risk entirely.

1. You're straight up asking to be given the new shiny champions. Never gonna happen.
2. Sometimes there are basic champions in the featured that people are chasing after and them being there significantly increases the chances of pulling them.

Just because you don't like the way it works doesn't mean it should change to suit you.

The point of spending more shards on a featured crystal is to have both earlier access to the desired champs and increased odds of pulling them before they hit the basic pool.

I think what should be done is that if you get the same basic champion two or three times, it should be eliminated from your pool.

It’s true that it’s bad business to make the “chase” of new champs too easy BUT they don’t have to put trash basic champs in that crystal. There are so many champs today that it’s awful to stick Cyclops in a featured crystal. It doesn’t have to be all featureds plus Herc but fill it up with average to good champs . It feels like they are doing what I’m saying with 7* so it’s doable.

Babylon Bee news: featured crystals now only have featured champions in them. Costs skyrocket to 1mil 6* shards per crystal.

Sorry but there really isn't that many "bad" champs left to be buffed. The vast majority of all those "trash" champs have been buffed by now.

abomination, black bolt, beast, bpcw, og black widow, cable (give him use without apoc), og cap america, capww2, captain marvel, carnage, civil warrior, cyclops, cyclops, daredevil, deadpool, dr. strange, dr. voodoo, drax, elektra, goldpool, groot, iron fist, invisible woman, immortal iron fist, iron man, iron patriot, kang, karnak, loki, moon knight, ms. marvel, kamala khan, night thrasher, old man logan, platpool, proxima, punisher, red skull, rhino, sabretooth, sentry, symbiote spidey, squirrel girl, superior iron man, taskmaster, thanos, thor, thor jane foster, thor rags, labtron, unstoppable colossus, winter soldier, x23

These guys could use a buff, and they're definitely trash still.

Tell me you haven’t used half of these champs without telling me you haven’t used half of these champs. You invalidated any argument you think you have the second you typed Dr. Voodoo. I’ll definitely give you some of these champs, but my goodness you are lacking some understanding of a lot of these champs. They’re not Herc, but they’re not all bad and plenty of the champs you listed do not need buffs.

Lol say you don't know anything about the game you play without saying you don't know anything. Half of that list (or more) is perfectly fine without any kind of buff.

I don’t think you know what trash means. Of your whole list these would not qualify as trash. I’ll give you some of the other ones. But by adding the above to your list instantly devalued your statement.

I get OP's frustration. Red Cyclops? Really? Does he belong in a featured crystal?
Some basic champs are great and have their place in featured crystals but some should not be there at all...

Yes. Arena should give us the champ after the first fight. No reason to put up 184mill for a champ

MrSakuragi

That’s the point of the crystal. The increased shards increase your odds at pulling a particular champ but it doesn’t nor should it remove all risk.

avs7733

It would be cool if they could have an adjusted featured crystal that has only the featured champs but costs 60k or 100k shards or something.

Grayzo

I'm well over 300k shards on this new one and haven't pulled a desired champ yet.
These things happen. It's in the game.🤷‍♂️

KingInBlack

The basic champs are in there to give you that rewarding feeling the one time you pull a featured champ hidden deep within the disgust from the dozens of others you opened.

That's all I'd do tbh. Would feel much better paying 75k shards for a new champ than 150k for 100 sigs on YJ and Dr stange.

Yeah they keep throwing trash champs like Cylops, Winter Soldier, Captain Marvel classic, Drax, etc.in there. And they put them in there too often. Thanks...that's what my post really is about.

Thank you! Cyclops, Winter Soldier, Drax, Captain Marvel classic, and many others need to removed from the featured. And plus they have been in the game for years, why are they still in the featured for no reason? lol

DrZola

Games like these need the agony of defeat to go along with the thrill of victory. It’s just part of the design.
