    So, I just updated, and was disappointed to see there is no +1 level raise button. Apparently all they did was increase the speed of the raise level button which already existed, so we still have to hold down the one button incessantly. Did they say this was all it would be and I missed it?

    I think a lot of people misread the original post. Devs said raise level would be faster. Did not say we would be getting a new button. They just increased speed of existing button.

    It doesn't feel any faster to me.

    Me either. Placebo effect. They say they did it, we believe it, therefore it's improved.

    Stupid question - did you guys update your devices? This isn't a server side or data push update. I updated mine and it is WAY faster. Applied levels to JG at 4k iso each in less than a second for each one.

    I applied one level just before updating so I'd have recent perspective and it is a big difference. It's basically a +1 button for me, but with much less coding on their end.

    The "Raise Level" is faster, but it is not a HUGE difference.

    I LOVE the new splash screen, though.

    Also, so far... no Yelena. I can't say I'm getting more 2 stars, but every little bit counts.

    EDIT: it looks like a high level Raise Level is just as fast as it on the low level guys. So, leveling high level chars is faster than before, likely by a good margin, while you might not notice on the lower chars.

    I guess the Devs forgot to put in any 3* in the standard tokens when they removed Yelena.

    I saved up 64 tokens and got 0-zero 3*

    And only 10 2*.

    Is this something to open a ticket about?

    Feel a bit cheated on this.

    Only if you are cool with them telling you to f-off in PR language should you open a ticket complaining about RNG.

    Anyone notice selling covers from the queue is slower? Used to be able to do it semi quickly, but now there seems to be a one second or so delay after selling a cover.

    3*s drop at like a 1% rate from standard tokens. 2*s at around 20% I think. There is nothing at all unusual with the distribution you posted.

    I think the slowdown might be from the game trying to preserve your position in the list. I have about 156 covers in my reward queue, and it took about 12 seconds to "recover" after selling a cover. Still, that's faster than trying to scroll back down the list in its herky-jerky way to get back to position 120+.

    Did they ever say anything about how they were going to distribute Yelena's standard token percentage?

    And blade to test and they were all the same speed as before

    After the update I pulled 61 standards and got two 3*s and seven 2*s.
    EDIT: My streak before that was two 3*s in 311 tokens. It was getting pretty bad.

    Since March I've pulled 850 tokens and gotten 2*s at 11.88% and 3*s at 2.94%

    No, they didn't. Standard token odds aren't very good in any case though, so I doubt it really matters. I expect they probably left the rate of 1* the same, and absorbed her share into the other 1* odds.
