I went all in last night

Backstory 1: I always pull Latest Legends within a few days of getting them. I just can't hold them. I've made a few extra CP pulls from the latest legends also. As far as 5* go, I've had extremely good luck with Star Lord. He had surpassed all my other 5* in total amount of covers in just the short time he's been released.
Backstory 2: As I've mentioned since before Thanos was announced, I'm a big fan, and have always wanted him in game. I went something like 0/15 or 0/18 from his release store. It took me forever to get a cover, and finding out how game changing he was made, has only added salt to the wound.
Now to the story. I opened the game one morning to find a new cover store: Cosmic Legends. I've been hoarding CP (with a few uses here and there) since the 5* Spider-Man release. I was forecasting a Latest Legends of Spider-Man, Thor, and Warbound Hulk. Seemed like the perfect way to break into the 5* game, so I saved. The Cosmic Legends store changed all that. I once again saw my chance to get more Thanos covers. I pulled about 250 and got a Court Death. I stopped. I needed to still keep my hoard for what now appears to be Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Thor.
Last night I was thinking about what to do. I was very afraid I'd get more Star Lord covers than Thanos (I think I did, too!) and I'd regret my decision to pull. Finally, I just went for it. With 114 CP left, I had a 2/2/2 Thanos, a 3/2/3 Silver Surfer, and had gotten my 13th Star Lord cover.
At that point I decided I needed to stop. I have close to 1,000,000 ISO and covers for 4*s Iron Fist, Gamora, Sandman, Cho Hulk, and Ghost Rider on the vine, and all are at 13 covers waiting to be champed. So I stopped for an hour or two.
And then I pulled my last 114 (well mostly) CP, leading to my 14th 5* Star Lord cover. New decision time, do I enter 5* land with Star Lord? I've read enough here to know that's probably a terrible idea. Well, if there's one thing I'm good at its making terrible decisions. 500,000+ ISO later and I have my first 5* champion at 451: Star Lord! He looks nice sitting on my roster screen next to 289 Coulson, 287 Blade, 286 Ice Man, and 285 Mordo LOL
Also, I got 2 5* Bonus Heroes on all those pulls, which were my first two ever, so I now have a 4/1/0 OML, which makes me very happy! I also have several 4* covers that will likely die, barring a ton of double ISO at Anniversary. Whatever, I'm a 5* player now

Haha nice story @Beer40.
5tarlord isnt a bad 5* in my opinion. Sure, his Green does rubbish damage for its cost in 5* land, but his Purple can be a bacon-saver, and his Yellow means he pairs well with Charged tile users like Mordo and Thorrina. Plus you can team with up with R4G to get the latter's strike tile boost.
Btw when I saw your thread title I immediately thought of procreation, but nevermind that.2 -
I chased Thanos a bit too. Mine is already at 5/4/3 so cover swap and a 1 in 3 chance to finish him out on a 5* was appealing. I pulled 17 initially. I got 2 Star-Lords as my only 5*s. I also got 2 or 3 more 4*s to 13 and got 2 14s on my vine (R&G & Carnage). The next day I saw Lockjaw cycled in (I only have him 2 covers
) and I had a hot streak on BH so I decided to pull one more seeing if my luck continued. I pulled a 14th hulk.
So now I have 3 on the vine R&G, Carnage, & Hulk and will likely not be able to save all 3 covers.
I regret that 18th pull but other than that I'm not too disappointed with what I got, sucks I didn't get Thanos. I'm too far backed into a corner to pull any more currently. Oh well, he'll be my 5* BH till he's at 13 which was my original plan.1 -
Congrats @beer40. I think Starlord has gotten some undue flax, as most new characters do upon release. I've faced champ SL5 in Versus, he can make a mess of things. His green might not be the best AoE, but Panther doesn't dodge and stun himself on AoE damage, so that gives you a small edge against those Panthos teams you'll see now. Have fun and good luck with the rest of your 5s!!!

I chased Thanos too. I won. I have 12 covers. I blew the majority of my 1200 CP at the time and built up my 4*s as well. Turned out to be a great decision.2
-
Thanks, after reading so many success stories, I decided to do the same0
-
I have spend 375 CP on 15 covers and none of them were 5*, let alone Thanos. According to the chances (~1:7) I should have gotten two 5*s... Though luck...?0
-
Sorry to hear your bad luck, but you're not alone. My longest streak was 29... others have been nearer 50. It's a testament to how bad RNG end-game is.0
-
I've been on multiple 0/40+ streaks, at least 3 that I remember.
0/15 is nothing.1 -
that's what she said!

Star lord isn't quite trash. But he is not top tier. He has nice match damage, good health, and some utilty with a self-accel and ap/tile theft. But his aoe is weak for the cost, his yellow is too expensive for what it does, and his purple is only a decent support power.
His poor reputation is at least in part because he released at the end ofa string of very good 5* releases (strange, thanos, BP, HE) and he is not on the same class, but not a doc oc.
Edit: Forgot to say grats to you beer. Enjoy life in 5* land!

Do you have 4*Grocket? 5*SL pairs nice with them. 5*SL has some of the highest match dmg in game and with 4*Grocket, you instantly get extra dmg from the strikes at the get go.

Speaking of that, RNG loves to play with me. I'll usually champ someone after they've been the "next big thing". By the time I got Peggy covered, it was Carol that was it. Then I get Carol covered and everyone is using Medusa. Then I get Medusa covered and everyone is using Grocket. In between these I'm pulling a lot of the likes of Mordo, RiRi, and Sandman LOL1 -

congrats! i did a similar thing with SS, but I stopped pulling after I got his 13th cover
As you may have figured out by now, Star Lord yellow doesn't work very well if the enemy's strongest color is green. He just changes green basics to green charges. Compare to turning black basic tiles to green charged tiles and getting a bunch of cascades! So I'd recommend skipping teams with green as strongest color.1 -
5tar Lord was my first 5⭐️ too as it goes, I've been happy with him, especially as the bonus cover I got off his 13th was my last Phoenix cover.....I love using his purple to reclaim the enemy strikes that Phoenix puts down after too many Phoenix Flames....turns a board really nasty.1

Also, even with only 11 covers your R4G is very useful at just 4/5/2. His yellow is the best, blue isn't too bad and green is kinda useless to me since Groot tends to hurt me more than help.1 -
