Potential Delay to v44.1 Launch

We are currently working through some issues that may affect the release window of v44.1. This means that the update may not release on Monday as it usually does. We are working to resolve the issue holding us up as quickly as possible, but will keep you all updated, especially if the delay results in any changes to the content release schedule.

    the crystal is determined once you tap it. The reel is just an animation. Youtubers spin the crystal for some more time in the video.

    Ok thanks....that’s what I thought....so Kabam has 100 percent say in the crystal pull. My assumption that I have bad luck spinning is really some weighted system that I should get green goblin then like today bishop and next crystal they award me a better champ I hope.

    The next time you spin a crystal, watch the red number on the top left as soon as you click the crystal to slow it down. It will either decrease by 1 (indicating a dupe), or stay the same (indicating a new champ or duping a max sig champ). If its a champ you didnt have at any rarity, a red number 1 will appear by your username (indicating you have a new profile pic).

    I sometimes spin singles, but since I usually save to open 5 or so at a time, i just pop em.

    There's that "Pep Method" which is famous amongst the Tubers, but I could care less about going in and out of the screen and to believe any of that. I just drag in, pop and have gotten amazing champions so far, but also duds. It's all RNG at the end of the day.

    To me at least I have to spin it out popping it feels way to anti-climatic

    As a few have mentioned before, think DNA most recently, the song reel is there to replicate slot machine mechanics and to encourage further spins to see if you can get your desired result.

    So if you don't want to be tempted or influenced by gambling mechanics, then always pop.

    spinning is more fun....i tend to spin 5*, 6* and crystals that can get me a 5* or 6* (cavalier for example). Anything else I usually just pop.

    The chances shouldn't change either way.

    In the end do what you prefer.
