EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE CONCLUDED
The Team has identified a fix for the recent Catalyst Offer issue.
Summoners who purchased this offer have been temporarily locked out of the Contest to Clawback any Catalysts bought/used while active, and ensure previously owned resources remain intact.
They will be unlocked once this process is complete, and no further action will be taken on their Accounts - along with a compensation package to those affected for the inconvenience.
Doing this allows us to bring the Game back up for everyone else.
We've removed the affected offer so we can decide later whether or not to bring it back after it's been fixed.
Additionally, all summoners can expect a general compensation package due to this Emergency Maintenance interrupting their play session.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

But once again...you take us down the rabbit hole. I’m pretty sure our hairsplitting isn’t the point of this thread.

I'm saying any game that has an ingame pay aspect relies on their spenders wanting champs and items faster. They make money off of people's impatience and ego.
There will be streaks of not so good pulls, and streaks of decent pulls.
Also, as people get bigger rosters, what constitutes an amazing pull shrinks (as in, pulling a champ that they are willing to play with/rank up/use in a certain event) .
So that's what I mean by roadblock; a player feeling like their roster isn't progressing as fast as, or as desired as before.
Also, by definition a circular reference cannot in general be a tautology. A circular reference is an argument that presumes its own conclusion as an axiom. A tautology is a statement or argument that must be true syntactically. This is one of those things Google gets horribly wrong, because a lot of people are just plain wrong. Circular arguments are logical fallacies. Tautologies are always logically true.
My point was a simple one: several posts argued that players could do significantly better by playing versus not playing/potentially obtaining for cash one of the major prizes of LoL. Those arguments were based on their anecdotal experiences and opinions, just as my counterpost was.
I felt like it was relevant to point out that my single 3-month data point suggests it might be off-base to assume three months activity equates with significant progress. There’s really not much more to it than that.
Ultimately, I’m not quite sure why you felt compelled to weigh in the way you did. I’m still trying to dissect whether your comment was intended personally or was an attempt at humor.
Regardless, forums aren’t the place to argue what is/isn’t a circular reference or a tautology. I happen to think yours is plenty close to qualify as either or both, depending on how one interprets what you were trying to imply.

Also, considering these things are offered to people not nearly as active, it's not fair to say they get more. If you add up the value of everything they're missing out on from the Login alone, I would wager the Lion's Share is on what they give to incentivize active Players.
But I would offer this aside: in my opinion, a system that continues to produce champs that are (often) desirable and (often) an upgrade with each monthly update, yet relies on an engine that can also create droughts that are several months-long is more than just “roadblocked.”

He pulled Medusa and blade out of those 15.
Two top 10 champs in 15 pulls out of like 128 champs.
Sign me up.
Not to be a jerk but you already said you aren't uncollected.
You will earn 5 stars faster and faster.
They have been handing them out like candy since December.
And while my account may be endgame, I am certainly not. I become more and more a hack at MCoC each day that passes.
Dr. Zola
shards are getting more and more common.
i know i am earning many 5* every month.
very very quickly.
if i was earning them any quicker i would be getting them faster than wat i could do with them.
not all can be god tier but i dont have some unrealistic expectation that i will get amazing champs in every crystal.
i know there is 140 champs.
i know i am really chasing bout 6 of those.
i know i will almost certainly not get wat i want.
it is wat it is.
also IMO every 5* will get r3.
they are all worth it for arena.
some will sit at r2 for ages cus i prioritize other rank ups but all will make it to r3.
if 5* were given out like candy i suggest more peeps would quit then they do now as it ruins something, there is no chase, there would be no great feeling when you do get the good luck.
part of wat makes this game great is the gambling aspect.
people cant admit it but its true.
yes somethings could be done to help peeps get wat they want but for the most part it works the way it does and is so successful for kabam cus it is wat people actually want.
when you sit back and realise that there is 140 champs, you want only a select few that you may take along time to get you will stop getting dissapointed by bad pulls cus you wont expect more.
LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS TO A LEVEL THAT IS ACTUALLY REASONABLY ATTAINABLE.
Zing!
Had to be done. LOL.
Seriously though, the lure has to be strong to bring back someone that’s quit the game. They can’t get them playing again with some crappy PHCs.
- You KNOW that there is a higher difficulty that rewards more 5* shards than you are currently receiving.
- But you don’t wanna spend anything to get there quicker.
- So you’re asking Kabam to make it quicker for you to achieve what you want to achieve by lowering the shards requirement.
Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
