**WINTER OF WOE - BONUS OBJECTIVE POINT**
As previously announced, the team will be distributing an additional point toward milestones to anyone who completed the Absorbing Man fight in the first step of the Winter of Woe.
This point will be distributed at a later time as it requires the team to pull and analyze data.
The timeline has not been set, but work has started.
There is currently an issue where some Alliances are are unable to find a match in Alliance Wars, or are receiving Byes without getting the benefits of the Win. We will be adjusting the Season Points of the Alliances that are affected within the coming weeks, and will be working to compensate them for their missed Per War rewards as well.

Additionally, we are working to address an issue where new Members of an Alliance are unable to place Defenders for the next War after joining. We are working to address this, but it will require a future update.

What is with the constant stream of garbage champs in the game.

Several weeks ago I bought a couple Featured Grandmaster Crystals (the last I'll ever buy), and was originally excited I pulled a 5* champ

Then I spent some time grinding through the special 2* Arena to earn another 5* Basic crystal:

And also after spending the 2 months of dungeon grinding to earn another special crystal:

For the love of all things Marvel, can you please throw me a bone here? 3 distinctly different crystals, each acquired in different ways, all resulting in the same garbage.

    The RNG is the greatest source of rage quit. Having just terrible heroes like KK and shehulk in a featured hero crystal is unconscionable.

    The feeling of such a crushing defeat makes it hard to go on sometimes, I agree.

    My 6th and 7th 5* were DD NETFLIX back to back.. If it were Ghost or something you would be screaming in joy, but getting such rare RNG on the s***** side of the spectrum really brings ya down.

    Take her to rank 5 to appease the gods of the RNG

    I hear ya, @Dexman1349. I pulled a 5* Colossus one day from a dungeon crystal, and the very next day pulled him again from a 5* crystal I formed from shards from the 2* arena. The probability of that is slim, and therefore gut-wrenching. To pull like you did is demoralizing.

    The positive is that there’s only one way to go when you’ve hit rock bottom in crystal pulls. Best of RNG luck to you on your next pull.

    My last three 5* pulls were Colossus, Drax and Ant-Man.

    You got more 6* shards than me and more ISO. I got the raw deal not you.

    Stop complaining about RNG.

    Just remember with all the trash pulls you are due for something good.

    For example and Not in any order; for the 5* ant man I got before I got ghost. For the Spidey Gwen I got Corvus. For the Jane foster I got gr. For the kamela khan (you can't escape her) I got modok. For the red cyclops I got icey.

    Basically for every trash you get you should get a good pull. Just takes time.

    Good luck (and maybe pop your crystals once in awhile too)

    I never said I "deserved" anything. I am fully aware this game is based on RNG, and yes I knew she was available in each crystal I opened.

    There is however, a certain expectation that hard work and dedication to something should yield positive results.

    It's like doing household chores with an allowance. There is an "even" chance you'll get any whole dollar value between $1 and $100. So you put in the time and effort to do multiple things around only to get repeated dollar bills while your brother does the dishes once and gets $100. He can then move on to do other things while you're still scrubbing floors.

    Eventually you just stop even trying.

    That analogy =/= RNG

    Smh

    Edit:
    You both get $100 for work. Both go to the casino to play slots. He wins $1000 and you lose $100.

    That is more closely comparable to RNG.

    Hard work and dedication will never go hand in hand with RNG unless the Crystal only has champs you want. Want hard work and dedication to pay off? Play arena.

    I'm not following your logic. I was just told above to have hard work pay off to do arena. So I do arena and get the same bad result.

    The point of the OP was that I am playing multiple different aspects of the game. Hours in arena, hours in dungeons, and even "buying my way". All of which lead to the same **** result.

    You grinded out KK and then complained about getting KK.
