Random Boost Drops

So, I used to get a few of boosts (+1 B/P, +1 G/B, +1 R/Y) during the plethora of lightning rounds matches I participate in during the middle of the week. But I didn't get any this week (so far), which is rather odd. I still got plenty of 2* covers, 3 torchies even.

Are boosts as random drops done now that Team-Ups drop every match? Or maybe the odds are just lower? Anyone got boosts as a random drop since upgrading to R58?

    I haven't gotten any boosts either but I got a 'you got too many teamup' message after every game. I'm wondering what if you need to have an open room for team up to be able to get a boost?

    Still waiting for my first random 2* Torch (really want to use him) but the recent drop rate of my boosts has plummeted, maybe to close to zero.

    I wonder if they are replacing the drops, at least for the time being.

    I hate to ask and normally I wouldn't suspect it but any chance boosts are getting retired all together?

    I'm still getting boosts at almost exactly the same frequency as before. Not removed.

    Was thinking bout creating same thread. This week I was farming LRs like crazy and got only 3 boosts during tuesday. And similar as Phantron only getting "too many TUs" message after every game.

    @yogi - you must be really unlucky then, mine from 2/2/3 is 5/3/5 after LRs and I sold 3 his covers already.

    I was wondering the same thing as I have yet to get a boost yet from winning a match. I sure hope the boosts have not been retired.

    I hope not, that'd be terrible. Even once they implement a delete button I imagine I'll eventually hit a stockpile of 20 Team-Ups that I'm perfectly happy with. They come in much faster than I use them (not every match).

    I get that same message too. I've given up on using them, even equipping them pre-match, until the next release. Right now they are more trouble than fun.

    I get the too many team up message and boosts from the same fight, so it's working fine.

    Even if boosts are still dropping, it sure looks like team up is replacing most of the boosts? I don't mind that as a concept since team up seems to be guaranteed drops so it's like getting 1/3 of a boost every fight, other than that in its current incarnation the teamups are almost unusable.

    I haven't gotten any boosts not counting the node rewards since the TU patch. For those who got the boosts from winning matches, did you have a team up slot available? If you're supposed to get a boost drop every 10 games, then the chance of going 100 games without one is about 1 in 30000 and I'm pretty sure I've played that many games since the patch and haven't seen any drops.
