I present to you the oddsbreaker! A tale of rng

For anyone not getting what they want recently let me cheer you up and tell you the tale of the most unlikely 6* openings that I know of.

First we go back to early 2020 i had finally beaten abyss 100% and was looking forward to the big opening, that is when i got the infamous 3 6* yondus in a row. I gotta admit that hurt a lot but its like what can you do. Move on and hope for better in the future.

Today i present to you that future, it all started a few weeks back when i opend a 6* crystal and i ended up duping my gamora. I tought to myself well that could be worse ( i was coming off a really long bad streak at this point) so fast forward to yesterday and a new 6* gets opend and look who it is a 2nd gamora dupe. At this point deja vu is hitting me hard and i start to fear todays opening so damn much. We worked really hard to get masters. So i woke up about an hour ago and claim my rewards. Still terrified of what will come of the opening. I spin the first one out and close my eyes begging to the almighty gods and you probably guessed it already. It was a 3rd Gamora in a row.

If this forum has any math geniuses please let me know what the odds of pulling the same champ 3 times in a row is out of such a huge pool and let alone that it happens twice within a 6 month span

    It could’ve been three Karnaks

    The odds are exactly the same.

    If there are 170 champions in the 6* basic pool, your odds of pulling Yondu from the 1st crystal is 1 out 170.

    Your odds of pulling Yondu from the 2nd crystal are still 1 out of 170.

    Your 2nd and any additional pull thereafter is unconditional on any previous crystal openings.

    I go back to my roulette analogy I used on a different RNG post recently. If the dealer spins 30 straight reds, what are the odds the next spin will be red? 48.684% which is the same odds for every time the wheel is spun irrespective of what’s come before.

    I feel your pain though. It’s never a nice feeling. Opened 10 mutant/skill crystals on the day they were released hoping for one of domino/AA/magneto. Got 5 OG Black Panther and only 1 mutant- 3rd dupe of Beast.

    It could’ve been three Karnaks

    Speaking of, Karnak on paper sounds really good. I wondee why he is so bad. Focused has giant critrate, has true strike, scaling SP2 dmg, can shrugg off debuffs faster (by up to 60%) and after SP3 reduces def AA by 80% for 40 secs. Sounds great on paper to me, but reality is crushing

    I have a 6*gamora too, even after her buff she's not worthy of a rank up just because of her playstyle, if her buff timers were increased to, i dont know 15 seconds or something, it might not be so hard to keep up the buffs and also there's no other utility.

    Speaking of Karnak’s, yesterday was the first time in my 2 years 2 months of playing the game that I came across a maxed out 5* Karnak. What was stranger about it was that he was only sig 28.

    someone has a 5/65 Karnak.

    Why am I not surprised?

    5??? Well ill be damned
    It’s not 6* but I’ve also had the 3 5* in a row before. Spread out over 4 weeks I pulled 3 Angela’s. On the 3rd occasion I wondered if Kabam were trying to tell me to rank her up 😂

    Well focussed only gives him the increased crit rate.

    True strike can only be activated by his foot stomping sp1.

    Debuffs shrugg off, and that too only non damaging ones, is his sig ability. Although his sig ability also reduces all poison damage by 65%.

    He’s still mediocre at best.
