RNG is killing this game

Hi guys, first post here, long time lurker.
I have now pulled my 63rd unique 5star....but in reality I only use 6-7 of those 5 stars...the rest see a bit of light in arena and that's it.
I clear content with champs from a couple years ago (Hype, GR, Blade, AA -unduped) the only new-ish champ I have is Beardo (unduped, even though I have pulled 3 x mystic AGs...more RNG luck)
My point is I am becoming increasingly frustrated at continuing to get average to meh champs who do nothing to my roster. They don't help me clear more content like 100% variants 2 or 6.1 (initial clear done) I am basically stuck.
I have heard many great suggestions about splitting up the pool, targeting champs....but as KABAM keeps adding more and more champs RNG gets tougher and tougher and makes this game close to unplayable
We all have bad streaks of RNG and hate this game. But it seems to be getting worse the bigger the game gets
Thoughts?

I seen a guy drop 2000$ worth of cavalier cristal on you tube and he got a bunch of meeeh tier 5*, 1 x6*, and a bunch of 4* and 3*....
So anyone on the FTP or the ones putting in a few $$ here and there wont get the really good game changing champions, and the new OP champions....
So yeah, the RNG sucks for everyone, but the ones who puts in the $$$$, have higher chances to pull the great God Tiers...
First off, people who put in a lot of money don't have higher chances to pull great God tiers. They have more chances.
I'm completely FTP (have been since day 1 and will always be FTP), and I have better 6* luck than (IMO) 90% of the playerbase. Corvus, Ghost, and Wasp. RNG is just that...random.
To the OP, it can suck to not pull what we want, but RNG is definitely not killing the game. It's always been an RNG-based game, so if that's the case, it's one of the slowest deaths on record. Lol.
Anyhow, as long as you don’t put the $$$$ to buy :
Units to buy cristals, and get HIGHER chances or MORE chances to pull GT champions...
And Ressources to ranks up those GT champions faster....
Then you cant, and I trully believe this ( but they are the exceptions....) access the really good platinum 1-2 alliances and do full seasons of AW and AQ, seasons after seasons, and get the greater rewards that comes with it.
You need a really great roaster to access these alliances and you needs ressources to boosts, and heal your champions for these allliances.
That’s my point, you can get a few 5* that are GT, rank them up to 4/5, get the good 6*, but overall to have the roaster to get in these alliances, you need to have put in the $$ to rank up those precious 5* duped GT to 5/5 with high sig ability’s....
So yes free to pay you can have the rng on your side... but that aint enough to make it in the BIG Alliances.
And to everone who will tell me that are platinum 1 or 2 and you make AQ map 6-7 with 5* 4/5 unduped and haven’t spent a $ on the game, or well, congrats, your awsome.
You can't just have a good roster to get into a high tier alliance for aq and aw. You have to have skill to perform at that level. Just having the champs won't make you a good player. That's like saying if you won't 10 billion dollars and bought an airplane it means you can fly a plane.
YouTube Brian Grant is FTP and plays in a high tier alliance. He also has ups and downs with pulls.
Fact that most popular characters like Hulkbuster, OG Cap and IM or Magneto are totally unusable is one thing, but Kabam should at least help us avoid them if they are too lazy to improve them. Instead, they are still pushing them everywhere it goes - Featured crystals, Dungeon crystals etc...I get that there is nothing they should do about your individual luck in regular crystal spins, but to increase your chances for absolute trash in targeted crystals, that's just ...well, so Kabam...what am I thinking
Yes rng might suck sometimes. But just bear with it and eventually it will reward you for being patient. No point mulling and getting pissed off for something beyond your control.
Don't play if you don't like that
It isn’t fun. But you have to make peace with it and move on. They aren’t changing champ acquisition mechanics any time soon.

Tbh I find getting god tier champs too early in the game actually does more harm than good.
Let’s say your first 5* is a Corvus and you are able to absolutely massacre everything in the old content. Then as the game shifts and Corvus becomes old news with more counters introduced, you’re left stuck without the skill and experience needed to overcome the challenges the game throws at you.
But that’s my opinion. I had to grind my way up from having 4* R2 as top champs.
So yes you can grind the arena to get the 7000 units a month. But you still need $$$$ to pay for your life expenses. So his $$$$, well goes to other aspect of his life to support his living.
Therefor you need $$$$ to play this game at high level, and do only that, arena’s, AQ, AW, EQ, SQ......
Nothing is free in this world...... you need $$$$$
1. The game isn’t only PTW but it largely is PTW or invest immense amount of time. Largely if you have the money you can transform your roster overnight now because of cavalier crystals. It has always had some elements of that as It is a free game so that is the price we pay. I think channels could be opened to make this better but with cavalier crystals Kabam chose the other direction.
2. Crystal RNG odds are becoming far more tilted away from getting what you want. Pools grow larger and larger making the odds tilt against where they were a year ago, 2 years ago and so on. I have never naturally awakened(out of a crystal) a single 5* that is a part of my regular team. Been playing for a long time so that is saying something. If I couldn’t push harder content than my roster was typically capable of for the average person I would be in a tough spot. This only gets worse every month.
3. More RNG divides are being introduced causing more frustration and divide because of luck. This is seen on the ridiculous nature of the last stand crystals reward pool spread from 10k gold to 5* awakening gem. We have been seeing this across a lot of different events. RNG opponents, RNG nodes, RNG difficulty and RNG rewards. The more this happens the more we lose in fairness across the player base.
RNG is necessary in this game but it just seems the game is steering down a heavier than necessary RNG path with increasing the number of offers to buy what you want. More offers weekly with less rewards increase.
There is little to no balance in the game right now between new champs and old champs. RNG wouldn't matter if every champ on our rosters was useful in some way. The frustrating part about opening 5* and 6* crystals is 90% of what's in there is just arena fodder.
I would say the only way to fix this is drop the 10k crystal to 7.5k and feature to 12.5k but then people will say “I just spent X amount for trash again!” It’s going to be hard to please the community.
I have also seen ideas of pooling champs together in different crystals. Which is like the dungeon crystal, problem is if you add 10 champs there kabam will drop 5 really horrible champs, 2 aight champs, 2 good champs and 1 god tier. You then have a 50% shot at pulling trash lol.
I’d love a crystal that would contain 2 champs from each year then 2 wild cards. 1/3 trash, 1/3 very useful and 1/3 god tier. But that just won’t happen lol.
That and waiting until everyone in my house was asleep so I could concentrate on clearing the T3b quest without interruption.

Or you get more chances when you buy a higher amount of cristals...
