Featured crystal odds

Are the odds of getting a featured champ for a featured crystal 25% ? I’ve opened up 17 of the current crystal and have only got to featured chmaps. Am I just super unlucky or are the odds lower than 25% ? I got 25 % cause there are 24 champs and 6/24 of them are featured. Hence 25% odds. Anyone else just not getting featureds?

Even odds for every champ. So if you want any, yes would be equal to 6/24.

Yes coincidentally I keep getting the worst champs in the pool as well.

Kabam is legally required to state the drop rates. They have stated time and time again that unless a crystal specifies a champion with increased odds, like a featured Cav/Paragon crystal, all champions available in the pool for the individual crystal have an equal chance to drop. Good or bad luck does not change this in the slightest and Kabam would get into significant trouble if this were not true.

I've opened quite a few. First dozen I got one FC. Next 7 or 8 I got almost all FCs (I'm including Wolverine although I get he is not technically an FC). Last 10 or so have been brutal.

It is what it is.

They aren't legally required to state the drop odds, but Apple and Google have policies regarding how and when they are required to state the probabilities of lootbox-like rewards.

However, if they do state the odds, it would potentially be a crime if that statement was false, because that would then potentially be a criminal fraud. So if Kabam publicly and officially states that the odds of each champion in the featured crystal has the same odds of dropping and they knowingly lie about it, and someone could prove it, that would be very problematic. It would also be a weird risk with no up-side for Kabam.

As someone who documents all their featured crystal drops, if Kabam was tilting the crystal enough for players to notice, then I would also notice, and it would not be hard to prove they were doing it. And then I would become famous, maybe get on the front page of Polygon or something. I might even parlay that into an appearance on Coffeezilla.

So far, however, Kabam has remained stubbornly insistent on using a reasonable pRNG, probably the one that came with the compiler.

Dude I've opened like 20 6* featureds and like 12 5* featureds, the only featured champ I've pulled is Viv [both 5* & 6*, duped her once on each rarity too]. Just really unlucky tbh.

Decided to test the theory (doing 5* Features).

First set of 4, got 1 out of 4, exactly what it should be. So proves it is correct.

Did another 4, but this time got 2 of 4 (with a 3rd new to me, for good measure). So much for those 25% odds, must be incorrect.
But if we toss those last 4 with your 2 out of 17, that becomes 4 out of 21. Or 1 / 5.25. Pretty close. Maybe not broken afterall. Need someone else with a 0 for 3 to correct the odds to be exactly though.

I feel the pain here. Still needing one only out of it

Xreiss

Just feel like the odd of open up 17 featured crystals and only getting two featured champs must be really low. I’d just wish I could at least pull Kate. So I could go back to normal 6 stars

Just random luck or bad luck i guess.

For argument’s sake and leaving opinion out, how would you notice with all certainty if say, the odds to pull a specific champion were 0.8/24 instead of 1/24?
As for proving anything, since I believe the pulls happen server side, that would be fairly difficult because the app review process does not have access to that.
Unless some disgruntled employe spilled the beans, we would never know.
Again, this is all for argument’s sake and does not reflect my view on crystal pulls.

The pulls do happen server side. That's why you won't see the "new" notification until you either tap to stop spinning or it stops on its own. That's when the call to the server is made.

I've pulled Zemo 4 times, Future Ant Man twice and Wolverine once and several others in this run. My last 2 were back to back Zemo.

Everyone has a different experience. This was mine for the last featured-

These are my pulls for the current Featured. Both this and last featured are well spread out between good and "bad" pulls.

I usually have one of the worst luck for feature pulls. I will open 10 and get no feature but these last two features shows how luck can sometimes change. The last feature I pulled like 5 features out of 13 and this current feature I pulled all 6 features plus wolverine out of 15, I also dupe FAM and Shocker at the same time. The luck was with me this time, next time I might regret going for feature crystals. Hope you luck turns around with the next feature pull.
