You receive a message in your in-game inbox from Kabam. They are running an experiment where 500 players are each given their choice of a 6 star R3 Sig 200 champion, BUT if you choose the same champion as 5 or more people (including yourself) you get nothing. Additionally you may only choose a champion that is/has been available as a 6 star at some point. (Sorry, no 6 star Scarlet Witch. Try again in early June).
So what champion do you choose? Do you go for one of the best, like Doctor Doom or Ghost, thinking the reward is worth the risk? Do you go for a reasonably good, but not overly popular character that you enjoy? Would you pick a totally outdated character and hope for an overhaul? Leave your comments down below!
Easy. I get Guilotine. I love her and she is a solid champ . I assume she is a six star
Cap iw. If 4 or more others picked him, I’d find them and scrap them for him. Then when I lose each fight I’d get back up and do it again...all day...until they pick another champ
Hello everyone, this thread has been getting a lot of attention and it's got me curious about what would actually happen if Kabam were to do what @Doctor_Strange19 was hypothetically suggesting. So, I thought we could do the next best thing. Let me know in the survey below what 6* R3, Sig 200 champ you would take. But if 4 other people choose that champ, none of you get it. http://www.survey-maker.com/QSNUHJN1R
I don't have a specific time set where I'll release the results, so I figure I'll shut it down when the votes start dwindling and find out who would and who wouldn't get their desired champ.
Hmm interesting. Everyone avoids the best of the best, thinking people would go for them. But if everyone has this mentality, then the top options would be free, correct? Wrong! That same mentality would also make people go for those top options.
Buuuut, if that makes players go for the best options, then those options aren't free. So if those options are perceived to not be free by everyone, then they would be free. Buuut if they're thought to be free, them they aren't free.
Some people will pick the best options because they didn't read the instructions carefully. Enough of these exist to knock out all the top options.
Some people will assume the top options will get knocked out and try to pick the worst options to avoid them. Enough people will do this to knock those out as well.
Some people will realize that both the top and the bottom are likely to snag a lot of votes, and go looking for something that is neither. But these kinds of people are unlikely to all gravitate to the same champ, so they are likely to distribute themselves randomly among these. Random chance will knock out some of these, and leave some completely unchosen. A few will have the requisite small number of votes.
The best strategy might be to make a list of all the champs, cross out all the top performers, cross out all of the notably bad performers, then cross out all the ones with decent name recognition. Then throw a dart at whatever is left, and pick the champ the dart hits. This choice is guaranteed to be a choice not influenced by any of your biases, and thus it is impossible you might subconsciously gravitate to a champ a lot of like-minded people will also pick.

I wouldn't use a dart either. What if you subconsciously look at a champ and aim at it? And who would decide what champs have name recognition? Clearly, the best way is to use oracle bones
