You're giving up one basic hero for a 1 in 6 chance of a new hero of which at least 2 are likely terrible heroes. If you spent 40K in shards you still wouldn't be likely to dupe that champ on 2 pulls. I keep wondering why you post so much and play so little but think your opinion is something we all need on every subject. In this particular case your first statement is objectively false. You represent a demographic that does not keep the lights on here. I think you refer to this as being personal. It's statement of fact.

You keep trying to take shots at my Profile, which I never shared with anyone by the way, but I am a full grown adult. That has no effect on me. If you want to continue to have a conversation with me, you will have to do so without making it personal, which is what it is. Not "fact". Just cheap insults. They didn't go through the process of creating that many Champs and releasing them as 5*s, just so they can pick out the God Tier ones and segregate them. Lol. We all earn the Shards the same as everyone else. The system is built on RNG. It doesn't get more fair than an equal chance at each Champ. What people are asking for is a way to beat the RNG and just jump to the favorable drops. This wouldn't happen for many reasons. If that was the case, they'd just do away with the Crystals and hand out God Tier Champs to everyone. Everyone has to roll something they don't want. That's a part of RNG. No one is more entitled to better drops than anyone else. That's called fairness.

What people are asking for is them to pick and choose their own product and that would not be smart or fair on their part. The new changes have a range, and there's a reason for that.

Drop the bomb, try and make it sound like they’re doing it for us, insult our intelligence a little (a lot). 2. Dig themselves in deeper by sending Mike out to the wolves and have him attempt to answer questions that quite frankly they cannot answer to the satisfaction of the customers without digging themselves in deeper. 3. Let the community duke it out on their own, maybe even fight amongst themselves a little, whilst remaining quiet...if they wait long enough everybody will shut up and get in line (12.0 aside).

The term "Garbage" sums up the problem. People want a better chance at a new Champ and don't want to spend Shards on what they call Garbage. As I said before, people will have to roll what they don't want. That's a fact. The changes are for a few reasons, not just because the system is outdated. The real issue is the decreased possibility of rolling one Champ. So what dictates the entitlement to the increased odds, which by all means was higher than any other in the game? Is it the cost? Is it where someone is at, therefore the requirement to "keep up"? Is it just the disappointment of not getting what we want? Having an equal chance at any Champ is about as fair as it gets. The amount of 5* Featured Champs that are rolled every month is quite high. Compared to any other new Champ, very high, actually. It will only get higher with time as Shards become more increased in availability. Plus the pool of 5*s was growing in the old Featured, so there was less and less chance to have a favorable outcome regardless, if you didn't roll the Featured. So let me clear this up. You were fine with everything and the way Featured 5 Stars were handled for the past many months. Never said a word or complained about the way the game was designed by the developers etc. Then the moment they announce something different that goes agains the status quo, in essence upsetting the players you defend to the death the new way, even going so far to speculate the reasons why for the change, the positives of said chance, and the negatives of the past(that no one had an issue with that I know of). If Kabam came onto this thread tomorrow and said; "Oops we messed up and are sorry. We have listened to what the community has said and are reverting back to the old Feature." Would you still be for the new system of Feature Crystals?

That’s what being at the mercy of Kabam’s version of RNG means. But the problem is that this change does nothing to help the noobs who are forced to “make-do” with what they get. It just ensures that the one 5* area where players could save for a modicum of control over their pulls is now kaput. Perhaps if they hadn’t put such weak champs in the 5* crystal in the first place, then players wouldn’t have to make-do with a crop of inferior champs. Dr. Zola
