Not Opening New Characters in 7 Star Crystals

Subjectively, I noticed I've been duplicating numerous characters whenever I pull a 7 star or titan crystal. Starting April, I started to keep track of the characters I pulled from the 7 star crystals (including also 1 titan opening) for objective evidence.
Of the 19 7 star and titan crystals I've opened, I've pulled a new character less than 16% of the time. There are still over 80 7 star heroes/villains I don't own. These odds feel like I'm playing with loaded dice. Anyone else just duping 7 stars and not getting new characters?!
Here is my data (date crystal opened, character I opened, * designates they are a duplicate):
4/15/25- Gorr*
4/17- Rintrah (titan)*
4/25- Pig*, Blade*, Dust*
4/26- Onslaught (bought picky 2023 crystal from special event, so not included in my tally)
4/28- BPOG*
5/1- Sersi*
5/3- Havok
5/7- VenomDuck*
5/12- Kushala
5/15- Crossbones*
5/16- Punisher 2099*
5/18- Titania*
5/19- Silver Sable*
5/24- Ironheart
5/29- Ironheart*
5/31- Onslaught*
6/1- OG IM*
6/6- Mr. Negative*

Among the basic pool, a bit more 1 « new » for 2 dupes.
In the fact, on the last 17 basic 7* the RNG gives me 14 dupes. And the « new » don’t send me some dreams.
My dupe series started on February.
As JediJones77 writes, maybe it is better to wait for additional 7* in the basic pool. And it will take months.
I have 77 basic 7* champions (excluding Loyalty, Incursions, eidols, collectors) among the 114 champions in the basic pool, after the switch of the titan.
A rate of 67,5%.
In the last 20 basic 7* crystal, I got 17 dupes (and of course rarely good ones).
A rate of 85%.
With some pools that don’t join the basic, the chance of a new champion increase only a bit every quarter.
No new champion (good or bad) = no level up.
No interesting champion = no rank up.
No rank up or level up = no need to fight for ressources and less interest for bundles or offers.
That leads to a less interesting game.
Kabam, what about a mercy mechanism to get a « new » champion after N openings?
