I am entitled to my opinion that those champions have no use for me other than arena fodder. That person keeps replying to me that he doesn't mind having those champs, He can't keep saying that because he's not on my level! You are trying hard to always be right.

This is a smaller pool, where you know what you can get, and makes it easier to dupe any of the Champions involved.

Because that's what I think you guys are trying to do. Yes, every Champion in the 5-Star Featured Crystal will have exactly the same chance to drop from the Crystal. There is a clear cons on the new 5* Featured crystal: the chance to get our favourite 5* champ from the 6 new champs will be reduced significantly. The better way to do, if the plan to do new 5* Featured crystal is unavoidable, is to make the same chance to get the featured champ in the current 5* Featured crystal only apply to the 6 new champs. It's not fair to have the same drop rate to all 24 champs when the curated 18 champs aren't even in our concern. Logically speaking, why would we waste our time to collect 5* shards only to spend the extra 5k shard on new 5* Featured crystal and not getting one of those 6 new champs? I bet everyone will agree with me.

Would love to see what your data shows about effectiveniss in AW et AQ about those amazing god tier mystic champs Again, we never said that they were the best performing. It is also important to keep in mind that what may be desirable at your level of play may differ from other players as well. A lot of players could use a Champ that hits as hard as Storm with her Special Attacks, or the ability to shrug off debuffs like Agent Venom, or Stun like Jane Foster.

They know that a lot of people are gonna stop buying the 15k crystal and they are fine with that because now they are gonna have to buy the 300 unit uncollected crystals if they want a shot at a new champ and that means more money for Kabam and well that is what this game is all about for them... Finding new ways to make money from previously free content. just my opinion anyway.

Otherwise I have to wait until May?!?! That’s crazy! Out of curiosity, why is having to wait crazy? There is no other Crystal in the game that lets you use shards for a Champion at its release, and unless you choose to purchase the Featured Hero Crystal, you have to wait until they are released in the Basic Hero Crystal to have a chance at the 3-Star or 4-Star Champion. The 5-Star Featured Hero crystal was an anomaly in the game that made sense with the state of the game when they were introduced, but that was a very long time ago, when you may never have a chance at that Champion again.

Unprecedented and not a coincidence. This is absolutely and unambiguously objectively false. They've always said that the odds of pulling any particular champion from the basic crystal were identical, that the odds of pulling any particular champion from the basic pool from the featured crystal is identical, and that in general the odds of pulling any particular champion of the same type from a crystal is identical. They are saying the exact same thing here: the odds of pulling any particular champion from the new featured crystal is identical. Because the number of champions in the new crystal is fixed at 24, that means the odds are approximately 4.2%. They can't quote a number like that in most other crystals because the number of champions is different at different times, but that number is zero additional information for anyone capable of doing basic elementary school math.
