How to turn my luck around?

I know this is a hopeless attemp to seek solace but I feel like Kabam gods doomed my account… For the past couple weeks, all the crystal openings I did yielded the worst that can come from that crystal.

I got two spots, one jabari panther from titan crystal. From ten 7* crystals opened, I got venom the duck (two times), sauron, ant man (two times) and Terrax, overseer (dupe), stryfe, mr negative (two times).

I know this is all about luck but this much of bad luck is wearing me out and feeling so close to quitting the game. This is consistent bad luck and I don’t know how to approach this. I feel like my account was marked for bad luck, I’ve lost all the excitement …

You opened 10 7 stars crystals, and you think you have a problem?

Just keep playing and opening more.

Btw some of those champs are really good.

Pulls couldve been way worse lol

Open your domain expansion of restless gambler and pray you keep hitting the jackpot.

Also your luck is fine. I see no problem

Try opening crystal after 10 push-up, a kiss from gf and a good amount of apple.

Do this before opening any crystal...

There’re a lot of good advice here. I hope all these tactics work out well.

My man, antman needs that dupe and overseer benefits a ton from it, especially in the current BG meta. Mr Negative dupe is also super nice too. Jabari is also really good, she pulls average of like 40 second BG fights for my friends who have her, she is definitely underrated. You've actually had some pretty good luck with your openings. (Of course none of that matters if you don't like the champions)

A significant part of your bad luck appears to be that you have the misfortune of having extremely narrow and high expectations. I would judge those pulls collectively as above average overall. The fact that you consider them to be the worst set of pulls possible is probably due to your crystal opinions being skewed by being exposed to a lot of other players who have no idea what they are talking about, or who think there are like six good champs in the game and think everything else is awful.

That is bad luck, but just not bad luck the game itself is responsible for.

2 spots and you're complaining? Lol

thanks for your civil message without any judgements and assumptions about me and respecting my feelings about the opening. maybe i should give them a second chance as you said but considering the amount of money and time invested, and of course watching/observing other openings, i could’ve loved a domino, bishop, shuri, sasquatch, spider-ham, chavez, hulk, and so on… it’s just disappointing to miss on them during the cyber deals. i also have a feeling that community is sour that i’ve been able to open that many crystals as opposed to my luck with them.

anyhow this thread was a way to comfort myself and also soften the blow i was feeling, so i at least succeeded in that

I appreciate your perspective, but I must respectfully disagree with your assessment that my expectations are 'extremely narrow and high.' It's natural for players to have expectations, especially when investing money into a game like MCoC. The essence of purchasing crystals, or any form of in-game content, is not just about the act of buying but also the anticipation of receiving something valuable or desirable in return. This is a subjective experience and what might seem like a reasonable outcome to one player could be disappointing to another.

Your point about my crystal opinions being skewed by exposure to other players' opinions is interesting. However, it's important to recognize that the community's views are often shaped by a collective understanding of the game's meta and the relative utility of different champions. While there might be a tendency to overvalue certain champions, it's also true that some champions are indeed more desirable based on their abilities, synergy, and overall impact in gameplay.

Regarding the specific champions I pulled, my disappointment stems from my personal experience with the game and how these champions fit into my roster and playstyle. While some players might find value in champions like Venom the Duck or Sauron, they might not align with my current needs or strategies in the game.

Lastly, your point about bad luck not being the game's responsibility is valid. RNG is a core aspect of crystal openings and I understand that it's not something the developers directly control for individual accounts. However, this doesn't diminish the feeling of disappointment when the outcomes repeatedly don't align with one's hopes, especially after a significant financial investment.

It is true that there is a lot of subjectivity to how different players value things. There are people who like to collect 2* champs and are willing to actually spend to do so. There are other players who would never do that and find it ludircous.

However, one thing that is objectively true is that the game's meta has shifted away from "tier list" linear style rankings of champs and heavily towards roster diversity. While there are a few champs that are meta-busting all around monsters (Herc, Kitty, Quake, that sort of thing) the vast majority of genuinely knowledgeable players in the game now understand that the vast majority of champions have at least some value, and that Kabam is constantly making new content that emphasizes new combinations of abilities that make formerly low value champs into high value champs.

You even see this in tier lists, for the few players still actually making tier lists. Once upon a time there were the A+ champs, and the useless ones. These days, most tier lists rank champs in terms of the most all around powerful, down to the ones that are just average in useability.

It is one thing to say I wanted X and I didn't get X and now I'm sad. That's everyone playing the game. But you aren't saying you didn't get what you wanted, you're saying what you got was horrible. That's much less of a subjective statement. When you think you're getting things that have objective value, but they are just not the things you most hope to get, that isn't generally cause for crippling levels of disappointment. Especially when nothing in life is ever that good.

It isn't my place to tell you how to feel about the game. But what I can say is that it is a fact that the game itself is unlikely to remedy this situation. You will sometimes get lucky, you will sometimes get unlucky, and in my judgment your assessment of your pulls suggests to me what you describe as horribly unlucky is going to be happening the vast majority of the time, and that is unlikely to get reversed. What is under your control is your assessment of the champions, and assessing a wider set of champions as being worth pulling. If you see most champs as having at least some utility and usefulness, you will be disappointed with fewer crystal openings.

So terrible your pulls

Send to me your Sauron 7*

I don't have any 7*

You're seriously complaining about the Spot? If you start your post like that, no ones gonna take you seriously.

You opened a thread on these forums to comfort yourself and you succeeded? I'd say you're more than lucky. Some kind of voodoo working in your favour here.
