I've Been Struck By Kabam Miike's Rig Ray

PolygonPolygon Member Posts: 5,386 ★★★★★
Got to three 7 star Crystals today including 1 I got from grinding out 165k shards from complete scratch (Did a gauntlet run 5 times) and spending $70 to get to the last milestone in Caps Commissary Event (Shout-out to anyone else who missed the last milestone because they did their BGs objectives early)

The results were completely jarring, I'm talking some of the worst 7 stars you could possibly pull from the crystal -- I'll let the pictures speak for themselves





Anyway there use to be a rumour going around the forums that those that got hit by the "rig ray" would have their account cursed with abysmal RNG when it comes to opening crystals. And after I realized I put Miike on the spot in a thread where I pointed out his contradiction where he stated that we wouldn't be expected to hoard but still ended up needing to nonetheless in the form of 165k shards , it was then after that I realized that , I, had fallen victim to the infamous Rig Ray.

Alright , now with all jokes aside, I realize it's just bad RNG and that everyone has their moments, but I do have to nonetheless admit that the pulls were debilitating to witness after grinding out The Gauntlet 5 times in a row, putting up numbers like this in AQ , and spending $70.

One thing I know for certain is that I'm definitely done spinning and crystals - in each case , I had trollovers from basically some of the best champions to some of the worst (or worst dupes for the case of SG below)

    Guilly isn’t bad either.

    I paid just to get a 7* Spidergwen, I feel your pain, I wish I only bought 1 like you did, lesson learned.

    She's a real pain in BGs.

    I like Howard. He was one of my most wanted pulls from that particular crystal and I was really happy to pull him. I tested him out in Incursions and he was a monster. He's so easy to build hacks around in there. Since he doesn't just gain one fury or apply one armor break, whatever hacks you apply to him that boosts those things become very, very potent. Additionally, I just find him useful in lots of content. He's not a Hercules but he tends to have the utility for a lot of things.

    Interesting. I’ll have to check it out.

    The Spider-Gwen slander is ridiculous.

    It’s a dupe, I thought the screenshot showed that?

    Besides her sig is hardly noticeable when it’s low. So she essentially contaminated my roster by being my first ever dupe….

    People complain about not having dupes but it honestly feels horrible to put in all that effort just to get a useless awakening. They could’ve bumped up the titan shards we get from it at the very least so dupes could at least be seen as a good thing

    Venom the Duck is underrated, Spider Gwen and Guillotine 2099 both not bad at all … congrats!

    Her sig is useful even at low levels. Far from a bad pull. You're saying it's bad only because you don't like her and wanted a new champ. That's like saying that one dupe on falcon isn't good or noticeable

    Never said I didn’t like her, in fact I used her for SQ and EQ Science quest, primarily because I don’t have other science options but she still got the job done. I have her in my BGs deck as well but again, only because I don’t have 7* hulk/titania or scorpion etc. You’re acting as if I’m saying she’s bad when its the dupe that’s pretty insignificant . After putting in all the efforts I did to get those 7* shards, I’m sure you wouldn’t be ecstatic over a SG dupe.

    I get VTD isn’t going to clear the game, or the best cosmic, but I think he is so fun to play! Especially in incursions too, it’s just fun, and enjoyable.

    He gets too much hate 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I apologize for my combative tone in my previous comment, i was in a really bad mood. But I understand what you're saying. I have opened 15 7 stars and none were science (the class i wanted the most. Need that Titania) but dupes do feel bad, I've duped Falcon and Mysterio, both pretty good dupes in the grand scheme but there is so many I'm missing i would've gathered gotten a new champ. At least we weren't that guy whos only 7 star was a Gambit that he duped 3 times lol

    The champions you pulled aren't bad by any means(and be grateful you didn't pull a Ronin). Spider Gwen is really underrated, and can deal a lot of damage when used properly. Guilly is OP when used properly ramped up, especially when her prefights are activated. And VTD is probably due for a buff soon. Even if he isn't, he's still a pretty decent champ IMO, and is a monster in AQ.

    See, but then you're obfuscating your statement by stating "be grateful you didn't pull Ronin." Same could be said of him with "isn't bad by any means." Everything is subjective.

    Spider gwen? I would say yes and no

    Yes if they dont have a counter

    No because a ton of counters exist (most skill champs except like Valk, AA etc)

    Anyone run her in their deck?

    You’re lucky OP, I duped Joe Fixit. 😢

    Fixit benefits greatly from the dupe!

    You realize a 7* duped Joe can delete almost anything that isn't bleed immune with two sp1s right? Joe is one of the best dupes in the basic pool right now, I'm surprised people still think Papa Joe sucks lol

    Just wait till the carinas trials for live. I bet many of those champs u consider useless will come in handy for u

    @Real_Madrid_76_2 The post was made before that.

    also G99 will be an absolute pain in the first fight and might finish the 2nd fight before the sp3.

    I said this in 2019 and ill say it again, she has the worst ramp up mechanic in the game. You basically can not r2 her
