It’s pretty widespread. We got 1-5% (so 5000 5* shards) in the gifting event. Just looking at the alliance ticker for the last hour all absolute trash 5* pulls in my ally: HB, 2x KK, Groot, She Hulk, LC.
My last were: Groot, DD Netflix, Juggs, Cable, and MoonKnight.
Out of 12 I own, 2 are good: Miles and HE.
Something seems fishy with the 5* crystals for sure
I've been real lucky: Duped Captain America, Captain Marvel, Ghost Rider, and most recently Dormammu.
An alliance mate has not been so fortunate: BPCW, Beast, King Groot, Iron Man...
Just pulled DD classic to go with my Luke Cage, She Hulk and Kamala Khan... I have been on the worst run of 5* since we received all these 5* shards in December.
I tried to hoard 3 to 4 5* crystals and received Falcon, Captain America Classic, Black Panther (Civil War) and Magneto...
I just downgraded my Duped Rhino just so I could save the resources for a better champ.. I asked ally mates if I should R3 Cap or YJ but they voted that I should hold out until something better comes along.. I think I should start saving for featured and see if my luck gets any better there...
16 5* champs and only Rhino UC IF and Cyclops are duped
Here are my unduped champs:
Gambit
Guilly
Storm
She Hulk
Yellow Jacket
Captain America (Classic)
Kamala Khan
Falcon
Black Panther (Civil War)
Magneto
Luke Cage
DD (Classic)
Storm was my first champ... hopefully a dupe comes soon. Still waiting to R4 someone as I have been suggested to wait.
Did I miss something, since when is DD classic/og DD in the 5* crystal? Netflix DD is in there, but the og 1? And og DD should be nowhere near a worst pull, but rather an awesome pull (especialle duped).
Last few pulls have been prety sweet for me: Magik, DV, Ultron. But also duped Rhino, got Cap Am, and there was a Gambit not too long ago.
R4ed him before as to please Kabam Gods and will rank him down finally now with RDT...
No other champ to R4 yet except CM for more than 2 years playing...
I saved for this month, because up till it, I had pulled a solid 5* in iceman for a featured. The saved crystals were Red cyclops(dupe), Venompool(dupe), Antman(dupe), Falcon, and Ultron. I wasn''t pleased, but at least Ultron was decent. With all the shards this month, I pulled several more, CW, Beast, Crossbones, X-23, Nebula, and Howard. It was nice to get a couple solid champs, but nothing that will really push me past where I am currently with my duped 4* versions(Crossbones, Ultron, and x-23). Hard to justify any of them for my second r4, because they wont make my LoL trip any easier for the materials for a 3rd r4.
Groot dupe
Hood
Symbiote Spidey (5.4 first clear)
AA (last pull of 2017, used my mutant awaken gem from LoL)
Iceman (first pull of 2018)
Also have duped x23, duped SL, duped Civil War Panther, duped Juggy, duped Ronan, Mordo, Hulk and then a whole lot of nonsense. Can't complain. Can't complain at all.
The problem is that people want a game changer as a 5*. To expect that after a few pulls is folly; however, to expect that after 30 or more 5* pulls isn’t.
The question is whether that is a statement about the crystals or our expectations. I recently duped my Elektra. I don't think Elektra is a game-changing 5*. But the interesting question is why not. Elektra isn't bad, it is just that Blade and Gwenpool are better. If Blade and Gwenpool didn't exist, I might r4 the Elektra and in the current state of the game she probably would be game-changing. If game-changing is judged not based on how strong the champion is relative to the content, but rather how strong the champion is compared to the absolute best champions, it will always be hard to have a game-changing champion. Because there are only two possibilities in that case: only a few are, or none are. They can't all be, because if all the champions were equally powerful, they would all be judged equally mediocre. That's just how people's perceptions work.
I'll just throw this out if you don't spend your not gonna get good champs....Ive really noticed it since I stopped spending I don't get full call cats anymore 4s and 5s are pure garbage so I've just quit opening them...i can't really complain because I've done really well but Kabam punishes you for not spending and the only way you will pull good stuff is to spend period the end!

Not bad not great.. I’ll take it tho.
I'm kinda content I guess...hope I can at least pull a demigod tier champ in the next opening
I am 100% on featured 5 Stars. Only went for 2 though.
Just like the rest of us, gotta pickup the trash before I can find the gold.
Phoenix, Mordo, Ghost rider, Beast & Karnak
Edit: I'm 0/12 on featured crystals as well.

Meh: Juggs * 3, Venompool, OG Spidey, OG BP, Gambit???
Bad: SpiderGwen, IP, IM, Magneto
At least Mags helps the OP crit syn team
IF
Karnack
Cyclops blue
I didn't and won't rank them at all. Resources are too valuable on bad champs, compared to much better 4* champs.
