Are getting bad champions a setback for you

We’ve all had bad crystal openings when it comes to saving up shards. I wanna see other people’s viewpoints

Only upside to pulling garbage is not having to waste resources on them and save the resources for good champs i already have

Getting a bad 3* or 4* means as much as good one. Bad 6* or 5* is depressing

I have been playing 1,5 year and at no point of the game I felt like I had no good champs to rank up. Nope, never the case.

In my opinion, the various resources needed for rankups are a much more important issue, than getting good champs. The game is filled (especially nowadays) with fantastic and useful champs and we all eventually get a few of those to work on.

When I see pics of players with expiring resources, it almost feels that we are playing a different game...

I’ve got plenty of rank up options currently so more worried about resources more so then new champs. New champs are always welcome though!

Not at all.
Actually, who am I kidding.

Some smart person said something one time about “comparison is the thief of joy.”

I used to watch ALL the Crystal openings from my fav youtubers...then I’d find myself mad as hell when I would pull trash champs. Like legit TRASH. LIKE..6 Star Hulkbuster.

But eventually I just stopped watching. I still look at gameplay videos when I finally get a decent champ, but I don’t even bother to watch and hope these new elite champs will pop up for me. Because....6 Star Hulkbuster.

Clearly that one stung the most. I’ve duped 5 star groot. I’ve seen agent venom enough in crystals to become agent venom myself. But that Hulkbuster hurt my soul.

So I just figured ignorance is bliss, and no expectations, no disappointments. I don’t worry or wish for a Namor or 5 star ghost. I just pop the crystals and keep chugging on. Every now and again I’ll get somebody cool, and I just lock in on them.

Sometimes it’ll feel like a ****-streak. So much you just cringe at the thought of opening your next batch of shards. Luckily meme champs are getting “balanced....” one day.

And when this happens...this 6 star Hulkbuster and 6 star Cyclops will be my top champs. (.....redact that from the record)

Yup. I’ve opened 11 5* crystals and they have all be rubbish. So I’m still relying on 4*s and won’t have the power to do parts of the game. Meanwhile people are complaining about filing 5*s or not getting the 6* they want. Lol

Got 6 5 stars now and all of the are trash it's starting to get really depressing.

Once you've got a solid roster of r5 5* and a few great 6*, I feel bad pulls are less of a liability. They are much worse when it's say your 1st 6* and you pull a HB instead of a CG. That's a punch in the nutz and really well affect your progression.

DrBruceWayne

Yes because I can't attempt Act 6.1, I still rely heavily on 4*, and 4* aren't cutting it as much as before

Prathap

If I get a bad champ., it's some time saving option in arena..

If I get good champ., It's some time saving option in arena + saving some revives and potions.

That's a win win always... Just that more winning on potions

I got a solid 4* roster now, and I’m not planning on touching ACT 6 anytime soon, so while a bad 5* or 6* pull is sad, it doesn’t change much

Webby72

Not so much a setback as a lack of a step forward. In a game that is about competition and advancing, a lack of a step forward may as well be a step back imo.
Especially when it’s after 4 months of collecting shards just to get a champion that offers no benefit.

Every champ has its uses. Yeah, some champs are better than others, but you gotta use who you got

MikeyBoi69

I play as a collector. Every new champ is a win

Hammerbro_64

If I played enough to get 6* fairly frequently, then yes, but honestly I’ve stopped caring about bad pulls and just get hyped for good ones

Yes and no, but mostly no. Like everyone else I would prefer to get what I want out of crystal pulls, but I've got a list of tiers of "want" that I can settle for. If I'm opening a 5* crystal for example, I have a short list of things I am most shooting for. But in second place I will take a first time awakening for my strongest unawakened champs. And in third place I'll take any new champ. And then any first time awakening for anyone. And then sig levels on the champs I use the most. And then in dead last a dup of a champ I have no intention of using for anything other than arena fodder in the foreseeable future.

So instead of rarely getting what I want and missing almost all the rest of the time, I sometimes hit the jackpot and sometimes get something pretty good and sometimes get something okay and only sometimes get something I genuinely can't really use much. So I don't get that same "fifteen worthless pulls in a row" thing that some players do, which makes it easier to just take the pull and move on.

My current roster can deal with most new challenges, mostly my 6* ghost and r5 omega aegon cap and quake

Pancake_Face

the thing is that there are gonna be monthly balance changes so a **** champ will be at least decent in a month or so

PantherusNZ

I voted yes but its not so much that bad champs are a set back as it is that particularly good champs are a massive boost and can absolutely skyrocket your progression.

MasterChief1176

Always a setback

ẞlооd

I guess I wouldn't really say it's a setback for me to pull good or bad... Usually..

My current roster can clear most content, so pulling a good or bad champ doesn't affect me much. Pulling say.. a 5* Omega or Domino isn't gonna do much for me. The setback is when I can't pull counters I need for certain game modes. So, in way it's bad to pull bad, but not always good to pull good... lol.. I hope that makes sense.

Jridenhour_3

Yes its terrible to put in a ton of work to get trash

GroundedWisdom

I don't consider it a setback. There are Champs I want to pull, but it all goes into progress in one form or another.

Xdonre

At my progression so-called "bad" pulls seem more frustrating because it just takes so much time for me acquire the required shards.

Etjama

My only three 5 stars are Miles, Ronan and Rocket, which is annoying. But my 4 star roster is very strong (imo). And I have several of them that I still need to rank up such as Thing, She-Hulk and Spider-Gwen. Not to mention the champs I still want to Rank 5. So is it frustrating to get stinky pulls? Especially 5 stars? Yes. Extremely. But does it set me back? No.
