a kick in the teeth

Having finally made the points to win the Heroic cover pack of 10 covers, I was disappointed to only receive one gold cover out of the 10. What a terrible way to reward days of gameplay. That really sucks. Not the same as getting no gold, but one out of ten is pitiful. And a reminder to NEVER EVER buy one of those ever.

    1 in 10 is on the low end, but definitely not an anomaly. There are plenty of 10-packs with only silver covers unfortunately.
    I also only got one gold cover from my season tenpack, but it happened to be icon_blade.pnggreenflag.png - the fifth in that color and the 13th overall, so I'm not complaining at all about that.

    That would have been fine, finishing a set nicely! I got a first level colour for Mystique, taking her to the grand level if 43. Whoopdedoo.

    The average rate seems to be one or two 3* covers per pack.

    Yeah, I count anything above that as exceptional.
    If you get 3* covers you can actually use, so much the better.

    Based on the stated % draw rate of each heroic token, the average should be 2 gold pulls per pack but anything between 0 and 4 isn't exactly newsworthy.

    Last season my 10 pack was 10 2 stars.

    Got a cool 2500 ISO out of the deal.

    It can be worse.

    This season was the first time I managed to get a 10-pack. I've been playing for 60 days now, got myself 4 maxed out 2 stars and a good stock of covers for when they're boosted. After so many days of playing, it was a little disappointing to only get one gold cover. Especially when I the matches jump from easy to impossible so quickly, it's looking almost impossible to rank highly enough in events to build up a good collection.

    For my 10-pack in season 8 or 9 (I can't remember which) I got 2 4* covers (Fury & IW) plus 4 3* covers (I know it had a Daredevil & Cap, which I sold, maybe the others were Blade & Deadpool).

    Every other season, that 10 pack has given me 10 silvers, so I figure that about brings me to even.

    There was a time when no 10 packs were rewards for anything. So yeah. 2500+ free ISO is terrible. How dare they.

    Take a 10 pack like any individual token. Expect a silver cover and be happy when it is golden. Way better than expecting a gold and being disappointed 20 out of 21 times.

    I've generally gotten 2 or 3 gold covers in my 10-heroic pull. Worst was a single bagdevil cover. Best was 4-3* plus a Fury.

    1. It's random
    2. The odds are horrible

    It's like playing the lottery. Of course you're going to lose. 1 gold cover is actually a pretty nice pull, in the big scheme of things.

    And I completely agree that no one, ever, should buy one of these things. Ever.

    I got one this time, four the last, and two the time before.

    I got 4 gold covers in my season 10 pack, and since then, I have opened about 14 event tokens, 3 heroics and 31 standard and not one of them has been gold. I feel your pain, but it's all just luck.

    I got kind of super lucky. I think I pulled 5 golds out of my pack.....none were useful. I want to say it was four Marvels and a Beast. But at least they were gold so it was more iso.....

    I think the season 10 pack should be something more special, like the anniversary tokens were, with the possibility of hitting iso and hp as well as covers. Just don't make it available to purchase, you get 1 a month if you reach the season points and that is it

    Edit- I am thinking this could be only for the progression 10-pack, not the ones you can earn from placing high in season, those can remain heroic 10-packs
