Low Drop Rates

Is it just me, or do crystals seem like a joke now? Before the drop rates were released, I had a brand new 4* featured champ every other month and got at least 1 4* from a prem monthly. Now the last featured champ I got was from February even though I spent a good $200 on Bishop and I just now got my first 4* from a premium since Janurary. Kabam needs to buff the rates to at least 20% or I'm never buying a crystal again...

    You're never buying a crystal again.

    Also, the PHC drop rate for 4* champs was increased when they released the drop rates. It was tested by the player community to be in the 0.8% - 1% range. It is now 2%, about twice as high. Subsequent testing seems to confirm that 4* champs drop from the PHC at a much higher rate on average.

    If you were getting featured 4* champs regularly with relatively little spending ($200 is "relatively little spending") then you were simply exceptionally lucky, and have now reverted to the mean.

    Then I bet one of the the following are true: (1) you will never buy another crystal, or (2) you are a liar.

    The drop rates are really low, and for good reason. 4* champs are supposed to be good. Even top level players (ex. Seatin) still use 4* champs. A 20% drop rate ruins the whole excitement of getting a 4* champ. Kabam has already increased the drop rate of 4* champs because of the inclusion of 6*'s, and that should be respected.

    My anecdotal evidence is meaningless, but I was getting 4*s from PHCs at a 3.3% clip. Not one 4* from a PHC since the drop rates were published.
