Stealth change to Leg Token RNG?

So I have had a strange run that I know is statistically possible but the last several Legendary tokens I have opened have all been 4* characters I have yet to roster. Now keep in mind I did have a decent number of 4* characters and at the time I was only missing 6: Thing, Falcap, Ghost Rider, Miles, Venom and Gwen. Well 4 of the last 5 tokens I have opened have been in this order Falcap, Thing, Ghost Rider, and now I just opened a Miles token. I think there may have been a Kingpin token thrown in there but the chances of opening tokens for characters I don't have rostered from 4 out of 5 tokens is high and the fact they were I believe in order of oldest 4* non-rostered to newest was interesting too (maybe Thing came out before Falcap, can't remember). So I am predicting my next Legendary token I open should be Venom right?

Edit- I remember the Kingpin cover was from an Event token so it has actually been 4/4 in the last 4 Legendary tokens I have opened. These were all opened within the last two weeks as well.

    Well there you go, simon. Someone finally commenting on an unusually even distribution.

    Fail to see anything unusual here. This is just as random as another player who got 3 out of 4 Chulk covers. It is random and we can draw all sorts of conclusions based on why it appears to be "custom", but it is just randomness.

    No. You draw 3 out of 4 dude brolk covers that isn't randomness that is the universe telling you it hates you and that it wants you to be sad.

    And all we had to do was reduce the sample size to 4 to get there icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I've noticed the same thing, I was missing six, Carnage, Ghost Rider, Miles, Iceman, Jean, Antman. The last 3 I've opened were Iceman, GhostRider and Carnage.

    Why not post about the time you pulled, say, 4 covers in a row for characters you already had rostered?

    I once pulled 9 characters that I hadn't rostered in a row, since then (about 31 tokens ago) I've only pulled ones I did have. See how neat statistics are when you use a bigger data set?

    8 out of 12 Legendary tokens gave me covers for characters that I had already rostered. Another gave me a cover for a character that I had not rostered but already had a cover waiting in queue. Note that I don't have even half the 4 stars.

    It seems like the longer I play this game, the more likely I am to draw characters I already have rostered. It's a conspiracy.

    Every single token I open is a freakin' dupe. Although I do have every 4* rostered. Not sure if that makes a difference with my absurd bad luck.
