Even Brian Grant is against this UNLESS: As it stands, I'm not a fan of this change. But I'm hoping there is more to this update than we can see, and I would be all for this new system if it allowed Kabam to make the following game improvements: - More shards from AW - More shards from Alliance events - 5stars added to Arena

I think it's a varied range of Champs in the pool. Better chances to Dup, which means more 6* Shards. If there are 6 Featured Champs in the Crystal, that's actually a 33.333...% chance at a Featured. That may lessen the chance of one specific Champ, which is why people may be upset, but I think it's time to even the chance. The Featured has had a higher probability for a long time. Personally I don't see anything objectionable. I don't agree that it's connected to Apple. Edit: That's a 25% chance to pull a Featured. I was thinking there were 18 in the Crystal. Still more than we estimated. Just not for one specific Champ. And a 4.166666 chance of getting the one you want... I'm not complaining, just figured for clarity since everyone is talking about getting a specific champ

They have created so many useless champs and a handful of god like champs. The game is flooded with Stark Spideys and Blades because people can control who they get to an extent by saving shards. This change will help the whale alliances and Kabam. Now people will not be able to catch the whale alliances with high prestige champs unless they are bought via FGMC.

I think someone brought it up that technically no they don’t have too. You dont usually by crystals {loot boxes) with money, you buy them with units. Kinda of a loophole there I guess.

There was no way it was 20% Lol, ok. Show me where they give us the drop rates on ANY crystal. Everything is consumer-sourced in this game, drop rates are no different.
Kabam Miike wrote: » » show previous quotes I knew this would come up! No, this is not the case. We've planned this for a little while, and to be fair, players have been Community Sourcing drop rates on the 5-Star Featured Hero Crystal for quite some time, and they have always been consistent.

When someone comments unfounded conspiracy, I'm going to refute it. They did it last year as well. Which was also pointed out by a Moderator. The Update we are currently running was prepared for download with all the data needed for both months in the Build. The announcement about Apple came after we already had it installed. Do you suppose they had a Ouija Board?

And it happening once before is not evidence of a standard procedure...quite the contrary. How many PHC do you earn a day from trolling? Is just shards or full PHC they give you?

I didn't say most used, but they are among the most effective. Cyclops actually scores very high on this list. There is a smaller group of players that use him, but they use him VERY effectively.

Pathetic. Open your eyes. If you are not a fan of the Champions in the Crystal, you can always wait until the Featured Champion you like is added to the Basic Pool, like the 3-Star and 4-Star Champions. Also, nobody said they are the top Champions, and while player perception of these Champions may differ, these Champions are ones that people use to great success.
