A Word Re: Mythic Shard Crystals

With a 20% chance of pulling a 6* from a pool of over 200 6* champs, the frequency with which players obtain Mythic shards feels…well, not very mythic.
I understand the Mythic is marketed as a top prize. I understand for a player with a few 6*’s the 20% chance is enticing.
But…for anyone with a decently well-developed roster who plays regularly in AW and explores top level SQ and EQ, 6* shards flow fairly frequently, and at 10K shards you’re 100% guaranteed of pulling a 6* from that 200+ champ pool. It’s not uncommon with minimal effort to be able to pop 2-3 6* basic crystals per ordinary month with a little luck and a fair bit of grinding.
Compare the Mythic. I’m not sure how many months I’ve been gathering Mythic shards, but with next AW placement I will finally form my first. All with a 1/5 shot at one of 200+ 6*’s.
I wouldn’t suggest making Mythics as commonplace as PHCs or even GM shard crystals. But the shards are way, way too rare right now. The opportunity to form one every month or two for TBs and endgame players doesn’t seem like a big ask.

On the other hand, this is a game with a very strong 'gambling' hook.
Is that the real value of the Mythic crystal? Do we value a 'free', unexpected six star champ from a Mythic/Cav crystal more than the same champ you pull from a six star crystal? Even if it's a dodgy one like Iron Fist?
If I'd got the 6* version, at least I'd have been telling myself he's a free six-star champ...
It's like the login crystal, just pop it at the end of each month. Grab my duped 4* and repeat again next month.
I know she's basically born to be used with suicides like Claire and Omega and her sig is essential to getting the most out of her but right now I'll just leave her at 1/25 until I really start feeling her.
I think I might be wrong but hey views are subjective.

Five months wait…
