At risk of spoiling the fun of complaining here, I have to point out that 1 Cav every two weeks is better than 1 Grandmaster a week.
There's a bunch of ways to do that math. If we can all agree that 3*'s have no value, here's an easy way to analyze:
You have a 50% chance every two weeks of getting a 4* or better with the Cavs vs an 18% chance of getting a 4* or better once a week. 5* or better is 12% vs 3%. You get the point.
So it's statistically better, but is it better "enough"? Meh, not really. If they removed the 3*'s totally at least we would be guaranteed the 4* iso...that would feel a bit better.
Considering the drop rate for anything about 4 star, the progression level required and the length of time to build one (two weeks), this is arguably a step back. Will we have other ways to accrue shards?
Seriously 14 days for a cav crystal??? With the requirements you have for thronebreaker , you couldn’t make it a week like all the others?
Yeah i wasnt happy about that either and they didnt really have to bother much with the change at all then. Only difference the way i see it is instead of getting a 3* weekly i will now get one biweekly
The GMC has an 82% chance to drop a 3* champ; most GMC drops are 3*. The basic (non-featured) Cavalier crystal has a 50% chance to drop a 3*; half the time you're getting something better than that.
In terms of higher rarity champs, the GMC has a 3% chance for 5* while the Cav has 12% chance for 5* or 6* champ, which is four times higher. I'll take a crystal that is four times as valuable half the time.

How in the world is it a step back? How many free Cavs were people getting with Cavalier?
While I also would prefer the once a week it still is a decent upgrade over grandmaster as is. If you are at this level, 3 and 4 stars don't do much for roster so it would be 1% chance at 6 star vs 0 and 12% at 5 or 6 star vs 3%. 1 cav crystal> 2 grandmasters.

Where does it say it will be 2 weeks??
Somewhere in here. Possibly.
What I understand from it, is that the calendar will be 1 week and not 2
If the next title after Uncollected was Thronebreaker, then the calendar it's going to be for 2 weeks.
But Thronebreaker comes after Cavalier
