You're correct, and as soon as you find a quote from a Kabam employee that says the intent of the new featured crystal is to pack it with champions players can use to complete LoL, I will be right there with you complaining that the crystal fails to meet its objective.
But since Kabam has only stated that the intent of the crystal is to contain the most recent six featured champions plus a curated set of eighteen other 5* champions that try to avoid the least effective champions when played by the players, Cyclops having a reasonable use as a placed defender appears to explicitly do exactly what they said the crystal will do.
I do not want Nebula or Agent Venom removed from the basic crystal!
I think a better statistic would be how many players actually buy the featured crystal against people that only buys the basic one. I always felt like the cost of that crystal and the chances to get a spider-gwen were reasons enough to not buy it.
The vast overwhelming majority of public complaints about the featured 5* crystal on both these forums and the reddit seem to me to be not that the player missed, but that out of all the tries for featured they got nothing but "garbage" champions instead, making the value of the crystal perceived to be worse than just pulling basics.
So if you are focusing on "unhappy players" I think it is far more important to focus not on the chance to "win," but rather on the chance to "lose." This crystal seems to have a lower chance to pull champions most would consider garbage champs repeatedly.
All their promises of better transparency and community interaction are hollow empty promises when these plans supposedly in the works for months are forced upon us and ultimately unanimous loathing of them will be wholly ignored until their income suffers and they can patronise us in a few weeks with a compromise that they can sell to us as “we’ve listened to you”.
I look at this way... If all the champs were great champs, then what is the gamble... Opening a crystal, any of them, is a gamble.... The gambling aspect of the game is part of the "thrill" and the "agony" of the game. It would be good to know the odds exactly though for all crystals.
Medusa, Morningstar and Mephisto are before Blade, so they will still have their re-run as well.
Also, your servers are down again @Kabam Miike .
I don't see how this suggestion helps anyone. That almost sounds like you think they are replacing the featured *pool* with the set of 24 in the featured *crystal* which will still have a basic pool. They are not doing that. They are eliminating the current featured crystal that has a featured pool (with one champion in it), a subfeatured, and a basic pool, and replacing it with the new featured crystal that has a flat equal chance to pull any of the 24 champions in it which will contain six featured champs and eighteen basic champs.
There's no more "basic pool." There is the basic crystal which costs 10k shards and contains every basic champion, and there's the featured crystal which is a different crystal which costs 15k shards and contains 24 champions: six featured and eighteen basic, all with equal chance of being drawn.
Servers are up for me, and seem to have been up continuously for the past hour or so.
Will Void have his own feature crystal? Or, will we have to wait until February to have a chance at him?
Yes he will. Any champion released before February 13th will still have the old style Featured Hero Crystal. So that means Void, and the new Champion on February 1st, but neither of them will have a re-run of their Crystal. Any Champion released after February 13th will not have a specific Featured Hero Crystal.
Please allow me to make a simple suggestion.
Instead of waiting 3 months for the last quarter's champs to be added, how about monthly the two new champs get added and the oldest champs (based on release date) get dropped.
You and your team are delusional if you believe those champs would continue to be used when that player got almost anyone else. As to “people use to great success,” is this in 5.4? Or act 4? Or tier 15+?
Define success and at what level...
Soooo.. who is the new champ on feb 1st? Asking for a friend
This is completely logical. Of those champs listed above, there are some that qualify as quality champs who aren’t top tier, but are still very useful. How hard is it to toss a few in?
Now, if the basic 5* crystal would actually exclude those non-feature champs in the feature 5*, then that might be a decent deal. But it doesn’t.
Right now, this feels like a cheap way to slow progression, extend game life and push players into buying 300 unit crystals if they want a new 5* feature.

A lot of people are hoarding shards to get multiple chances at Blade, which is likely to flood him into the game prior to when Kabam want him to be, this chance limits that ability.
IMO as someone who cannot do that I think this is a great change.
It’s Gladiator Hulk
Nice.
I said majority. Most will not take an AV to rank 4 when you compare him to other skill champs. I get your point though
