They don't care what you spend your shards on, only that you spend your units and money on the featured grandmaster crystals. I can't say that that's accurate either. We don't know the rates of those Crystals, but I suspect that landing a Featured 5* would be less than 4%. Your once again missing the point. They don't care what your chances are. If you buy the FGMC there is a 100% chance of 1 thing....increasing their profits. They may be a business, but that doesn't mean every change is for the sole purpose of extracting money. Have you ever disagreed with something Kabam has decided to do, ever? At this point I have to believe that Kabam is paying you to post your nonsense. This crystal is a horrific idea and the only way to get new featured 5* is buy spending $10 a spin. But no, clearly this isn't a way for them to increase profits. If the featured GMC had no 3* in it, it might be a decent alternative. Right now the odds of getting a featured 5* from the featured GMC is a whopping 1-1.3% chance. You're either deliberately missing why people hate this change or are arguing just to argue. It's one of the two. There's literally one quality basic champ out of 18 in this pool. The rest are garbage to meh tier. Who do you think all tiers of AQ/AW would rather pull? Stark Spidey, GR, Iceman, AA, or second tier champs like Dormammu, NC, Rogue, Angela or any combination of basics in this crappy pool? If I spent 15k because the featured set was good and the basic pool was solid I'd not mind getting one of the basics. In this pool, I really don't want any of the champs listed save Doc Ock so I'm not spending 5k extra shards to have a really terrible chance at getting him. Yes, it's even worse in the basic pool but there are other champs in there I would like to get and because there's more of them I have a good shot at getting someone I actually want. I truthfully don't know why I'm even bothering to type this much to you. You're just going to reply defending the change because you must go with whatever Kabam says because you always do.

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. The whole point of a featured crystal is to pull the featured champ not spend 5k extra shards to pull another jugg or antman. This idea could have been good if the "basic" champs werent the same ones i have at sig 200....

The current Crystal has a higher Basic probability than anything. That means you currently have a greater chance at a Champ you don't want. How is it possible that in this entire thread, this is the most bizarre sequence of words I've read all day. People are defocusing on one Champ, Ant-Man. Which for all intensive purposes represents an unfavorable pull. As it stands, the estimated probability of pulling a Basic is much higher than the 4% that represents Ant-Man.
