My kingdom for notification about 5* rate adjustments!

Akari

So with today's patch, Bruce Banner is now in latest lts, and goblin was moved to classic, watering down the odds to 3% per 5*. The last time they messed with the odds, a lot of people pulled all their cp in advance, only to get screwed by having d3, without warning, INCREASE the odds of 5* pulls (more specifically, oml, who I haven't seen a cover for in 3 months now). This time, I held on to my cp, only to get screwed by them decreasing oml odds from 3.75% to 3%, once again, with no warning.

Seriously, is it too much to ask to at least hint at what's coming up here?

Chance for getting 5* remains unchanged... if you have other solution to this issue (except for "no more 5* releases" and "just give additional chance with every 5* cover added in token"), just present it... constructive criticism, you know .

I don't want a change. I just want to know which way the odds are changing before they do, instead of trying to read their minds. We all know how and when the 4* are added to packs, and how odds are affected by new ones. We don't yet know this about the 5* due to having 2 separate LTs with different odds.

I had assumed Banner would go to latest and goblin would stay there, keeping odds at 3.75% for every 5*. I was very, very wrong.

My point is, last time a 5* was added, I lost out by spending cp. This time, I lost out by saving it. Disregarding the likelihood I would be screwed by RNGesus either way, I would still like to know which path is best.

I would have pulled my classics if they had told us. OML is the only character that matters, that's why they told everyone before - but lowering him further?!? They should have told everyone again.

Although really, the ridiculously low RNG rate....they should just keep upping the rate in classics and keep all the characters in there around 4%.

They make more money if they allow you to spend under false pretenses, and so changes are not communicated beforehand.

They lose money by losing favour with their customers by doing this. I really doubt that was their intention.

Why would you assume this? They were very clear that the Latest would contain the most recent 3 and the classic would contain the rest. At what point was there anything that would make anyone assume suddenly latests would jump to 4 characters?

The only question at this point is what happens with Cap/IM when the next 5* comes out since both were released at the same time. For this one there should have been no question as to how the characters would appear in each type.
