**UPDATES TO ENLISTMENT GIFTING EVENT:**
To prevent exploitation, we will prevent new Accounts from being able to Gift enlistment crystals. We will also be taking action on those who are using 3rd Party Sellers, Bots and other farms to gift themselves mass amounts of Enlistment Crystals. Lastly, we will be adding an expiration timer to Enlistment Crystals. All unopened Enlistment Crystals will expire on Oct 18 @ 17:00 UTC. For more information, please see this post: https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/346104/updates-to-enlistment-gifting-event

Kabam did not advertise the new featured crystal has having an increased chance to get the featured champion. Kabam stated that the odds of getting any of the champions in the new crystal would be the same as all other champions in that crystal. That means the odds of getting any particular champion is one in twenty-four. That is lower than the approximately one in five (esimated) chance of pulling the featured champion in the current featured crystals.
Blade is still going to be available so this isn't true
There are only 2 champs I could want in particular in this crystal and would rather not the such random chance at the champ I want to just going completely random. Bring on the sig 99 luke cage.
What are the odds of GMC versus the odds of the featured 5* crystals?
There's one thing I like about this. If there's a champ in my roster that I'd really like to dupe, and that champ is in the crystal, then the odds of pulling him are much greater.
However, if there *aren't* any champs that I want, then I have to wait 3 months for the next version of the crystal. That's painfully long.
I suggest changing the crystal every month. It would still have 6 new champs, but they would be the 6 most recent. So every month 2 are removed, 4 stay, and the 2 newest champs are added in.
The other 18 are refreshed. So if you don't like the heroes in this month's crystal, you can wait one month for a new batch instead of three months.
Imagine a bad, but likely common scenario with the crystal you've proposed. The current crystal doesn't have something you want. You wait 3 months, then the champs you want *still* aren't in the crystal. You waited 3 months for nothing, and now your choices are the bad odds of the regular crystal or wait *another* 3 months with no guarantee that the next crystal will have what you want.
A monthly refresh would add a lot of hope to this crystal.
The Grandmaster Crystal has 3 and 4 stars in it. The Grandmaster featured as well, but seems to have an increased chance for 5 stars compared to the normal one (just my observation).
So they cannot really be compared to 5 star crystals.

Again, we never said that they were the best performing. It is also important to keep in mind that what may be desirable at your level of play may differ from other players as well. A lot of players could use a Champ that hits as hard as Storm with her Special Attacks, or the ability to shrug off debuffs like Agent Venom, or Stun like Jane Foster.[/

Hey Miike, how many times have you and Adora, claimed that something in the game was being changed to maintain or restore balance among players? The game has never been less balanced than it is right now. But now you feel that newer players or veteran players (who went 0-12 in featured crystals, or are holding 2 science 5* AGs,) shouldn’t have the same opportunities that other players were given?
Just be straight with players and explain to us that there are certain 5* champs that are too OP for the current content, but it’s too soon to nerf them, and you’ll generate more revenue from players who need to settle for a 5* R4 unduped Storm or Ant man instead of AA or Ice Man etc.
Players will be upset but they’ll appreciate the honesty
Do you even math? Even if the chance to pull the 6 new champs among the 24 is 20% per champ, one crystal is still giving you 20% chance to get one of them. You can't add all of them and assuming that is the chance of you getting them from the crystal.
I’ll give you a hand with the math...
Basic Pool - 84 champions (when the new crystal arrives), one of which is Ant-Man. Therefore, I have a 1/84, or 1.19%, chance to pull him from a basic, 10k shard 5* crystal.
New Featured Pool - 24 champions, one of which is Antman. From this crystal, I have a 1/24, or 4.16%, chance at pulling him from this awful new Featured 5* Crystal.
Seems to me that if I want to dupe one of the worst champions in the game for the third time, the featured is the way to go.
I do math. I have no idea what you're doing.
Um... yes you are. 1 in 24 is much better odds for antman than the current basic or featured crystal
Seems to me you should wait until the crystal changes in May, and have a zero percent chance of duping him.
Dude you should be excited. Kabam said he’s one of the most effective champs in aw.

Just for the record, by my recollection this (or something similar) has been suggested now at least four or five times. I think Kabam should strongly consider it when its being independently suggested that often. The above reasons are also almost exactly identical to mine.
It's not advertised as "Increased Chance At Ant-Man". The probability may be greater, but probability is not concrete when we are dealing with RNG. Actually, your math is correct, but the focus is not right. The current Crystal has a higher Basic probability than anything. That means you currently have a greater chance at a Champ you don't want.
Actually, if you focus only on the featured 5* and the non featured 5*, you can work out the expected number of units needed to get the featured 5* and the non featured 5*.
Say you want the featured 5* champ. You can either purchase the featured 5* crystal (@ 15000 shards per crystal) and the non featured GMC (@200 units per crystal), or you purchase the featured GMC (@300 units per crystal) and the non featured 5* crystal (@10000 shards per crystal). If you have 600 units and 30000 shards, you can buy 2 featured 5* crystals and 3 non featured GMCs, or you can buy 3 non featured 5* and 2 featured GMCs. Which one gives you higher odds of getting featured 5* and which one gives you high odds of non featured 5*?
BTW, my own data suggested that the odds of pulling a 5* (featured or non featured) from a featured GMC seems higher than a non featured GMC. This is consistent with your observation.
