PVP tokens - Significant revision? Or display restriction?

Today I looked at the odds screen for Sharp Dressed for the first time. Normally I expect to see higher odds of pulling Patch (the featured 3*) and decreased odds of pulling any other 3* - or 4*, for that matter. This time, Patch is lumped in with all other 3's with a higher % chance of pulling all 3's and 2's, but lower on 4's (vs Heroic tokens with our new system). The numbers are: Sharp Dressed - 4's=4.7%, 3's=27.8%, 2's=67.5%. Heroic = 4's=7.1%, 3's=26.5%, 2's=66.5%.

I did not look at Right Hand Man token odds at all. I just figured, no point in worrying about it - I'll get plenty of Coulsons now. So I don't know how they looked. Maybe someone has a Token they didn't open yet and can post.

Anyway, if PVP tokens no longer provide higher odds of the featured character - just higher odds of the tier they are in, in general - that is a shift from before.

I would also note that I have been puzzling over these tokens for a while. Obviously they provide a "daily deal" for whales, but otherwise - who wants to buy a bunch of tokens that give higher odds of 2's and 3's and LESSER odds of a 4*? Especially now that older 4's are so hard to get? AND.....they are more - yes more - expensive. The only exception is the occasional 4* PVP, I'd say.

I would like an official response - are there truly higher odds of pulling Patch, but the new display doesn't allow that? If not, then maybe the odds could be revised a little to boost 4's? It is cheaper to buy a 40-pack of standard Heroics than even the "daily deal" of Sharp Dressed. As it stands, it seems clear where one should spend one's money.

    "Featured characters are highlighted and have an increased chance to be drawn."

    There is a purple glow denoting there is an increased chance... the specific odds are not displayed outside of the larger group (27.8% 3-star)

    e.g if they were all equal, it would be 1.39% each ... but it's probably more like 4% Patch and 1.25% for each of the remaining 19.

    Would be nice if they watermark the covers with the actual percentage
