Let me count the ways I hate you RNG
1) the 5* Thor yellow in my queue that I cannot use on my 4/3/5 Thor
2) the second 5* Thor yellow in my queue that I cannot use on my 4/3/5 Thor
3) the third 5* Thor yellow in my queue that I cannot use on my 4/3/5 Thor
Someday I really do hate you rng

I had FOUR purple Gambits taunting my 5/3/4 Gambit. I bought the final one and haven't regretted it. Is there any way you can get 720cp in time to save them?

That would require 5 buy clubs (I have 15 cp in the bank) , so not likely. 
I had Gambit and Thor on 12 covers for a couple of months, before getting fed up and switching them to BH. managed to dodge the 5 cover bullet with a Gambit bh, sadly that luck didn't carry through. 3 potentially wasted bh is a bitter pill to swallow

Yeah, that thoroughly sucks. The only reason I had that much CP on hand was because I had been hoarding until AA was out. Normally I'm a spend as I earn kind of woman.

I managed to lose three consecutive times the same wat in Shield Sim: With the last standing enemy downing my entire team. I guess the AI wasn't very fond of me today.

The snooze feature on my alarm froze with one second left, so it didn't go off, and instead of getting up with an hour to get together and finish sub 1, I woke up 4 minutes before it ended. There goes my placement, and hopes for an extra Shuri cover

I would have to go back more than six months to properly account for my last three 5* BH. Granted, I tend to hoard and then pull in one big chunk right before a character rotates out of Latest to try and finish them off. But I've pulled probably more than 100 5* covers for those three 5* BH.

For that very reason, I never pick a character with a maxed out color as my 5* BH, no matter how close they are to being finished (unless they're in Latest and I can get a swap). They waste would be too maddening.

I normally wouldn't put it on a classic in that position, I was just getting really frustrated with the lack of champed Gambit, so took a gamble (which paid off first time) so thought I'd try again. Unlikely to do it for anyone other than Thor out of the classics.

Put up a shield to go for 900 in Teen Riot before I checked the colour and realized that a green is useless for my 2/2/5 Moon Knight. Shoulda just saved my HP.

I blew a bunch of CP on Don't Freeze tokens in the hopes of getting a cover for my 2-5-3 Spidey...and of course when I finally do get a Spidey it's green

Yep.  When Black Bolt was one of the featured 5-stars in a deal like that, I pulled a green cover, which made my 5-1-2 Black Bolt very, very unhappy.  Customer Service doesn't swap those covers.

Did you get the HfH offer for a red cover? A certain red for 250 CP is probably a better investment than 10 Don't Freeze tokens...

Also, where is your Vulture at? Any chance you can get the needed cover that way?

Going to do my final clears and realizing that I completely forgot to do the initial clears on the 4* Essential node yesterday morning. I know I was sleepy yesterday, but wow. I guess maybe Flaptain is just that unimpressive?

Today, I hit the zero iso. I am in full starvation mode for iso now.

Climbed to ~1050 in the SWitch PvP and used a 3 hour shield, anticipating doing a jump and then using a 24 hour shield.

Something came up IRL and I couldn't play again until 30 minutes after the 3 hour shield expired.

I lost 427 points.

The brain in my head tells me that sometimes unforeseen circumstances mess you up. The gamer in me wants to freakin' uninstall.

427 points lost in 30 minutes, not to mention all of the time and HP wasted getting there in the first place.

My nephew's graduation was over the weekend, so I didn't have much time available to play. But, I did manage to get to 900 in Squirrel Girl's PvP.

I was already in bed and had a 3 hour shield expiring, but about 15 or 20 minutes left before my eight hour shield was available that I was going to use to get above 1000 for the RISO, then shield out.

I was apparently so exhausted I passed out, because the next thing I knew, I was waking up several hours later and had been knocked down somewhere in the 400 range. I briefly thought about fighting my way back up, but just turned over and went back to sleep. 

I really do wish I had gotten those Angel covers in placement though. He's only at Level 177 or so. RNG refuses to give me his covers.

Tried to push for progression in Venom Bomb about two hours before the event ended. I had calculated that I could get it if I full cleared every node on the last sub. That did not happen though, as I was met with the worst luck I've had in a very long time.

At one point I had both R/B and All colours boosted to fire off IM40 recharge within the first few turns, which of course meant I did not see as much as one solitary yellow AP that match. I simply stopped playing after the third wipe on the final Carnage/Venom/Mutation node. A bit salty about missing the 25CP by 1500 points, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes, I guess.

Won the DDQ Crash and the LT gave me a Yellow America Chavez cover. Why is that bad?

She's now 5/4/0. Who's been hoarding all the Green covers mannnn.

Sorry.  That's my fault.  My America's a 3/3/8.

Haven't pulled a bonus hero in weeks, including any 3* BHs. I've had long slumps of not getting any 4* BHs, but to have this long of a slump for both 4* and 3* BHs simultaneously is blowing my mind. For context, I've been playing more than usual lately and don't hoard, so I've been pulling from the legendary stores (with tokens or CP) an average of 1-2 times a day and between Elite and Heroic tokens, perhaps pulling between 3-6 3* covers a day. Even using the low end of each estimate, I'm roughly batting 0/40 for 4* BHs and 0/80 for 3* BHs (when the odds should be 1/20 for each.) I don't remember how to do the math for probability, specifically in relation to the odds of having these simultaneous events, but it's a bummer.

   Make that 3/3/9.

I forgot that the end time has shifted an hour earlier. Instead of having 1 hour 5 minutes to clear all nodes for another three times, I've to do it within 5 minutes.
