As I did with the other Shield Traning Events, lets see how your Leader Boards look like. 

7000 is the Maxed score.

    As of right now, I am 6000 and top of the LB. 
    Still very early though.

    I think these posts are great.  It’s the most transparent way to see which rosters are cheating.  Super oblivious when the distributions of 6k and 7k are posted and logged for all to see and compare.

    i,m going to go out on a limb and predict an avg of 2 7k scores and 9 6k scores

    Cheating... how exactly?

    Anyway, in my bracket right now the top score is 3000 Points, held by Three players. I am fourth with 2600 Points, if I could just get Another Chavez cover I would join them.

    Um.... I am 6000.  I have gotten 6K the last Events.  Please let me know how I am cheating.

    Expected model

    if there are 20 6 k scores and 10 7 k in the same bracket then it’s going to be easy to predict that anew exploit has been  discovered.  

    The data never lies.  If the lb arent relatively consistent with the last two shield events,  then something fundamental has changed beyond mearly relying on a new 5* champ


    Keep collecting and posting the score data,  it’s the best insurance/protection to keeping the game honest

    6k at this point is completely doable - 2 covers from placement last pvp, 1 cover from training, 3 from pve t10, 1 from progression in current pvp and there’s a vault with 1 availabile.  No whaling needed as long you’re in s1 for pve (which rockett does) and started the Kraven pvp and gotten the 900 reward.

    My bracket has 2 @ 5000, 4 @ 4000, 1 @ 3200, and 7 @ 3000.

    Also, I suspect there are a higher number of high level America Chavezes out there since she is a very solid release and was possible to whale around Digital Day. More people having her covered = more people get the Kraven training cover.

    1 roster at 7K with 95% of the 4s at 370, including a champed Kraven - I'll assume that's not a legit player, random public alliance.

    7 more at 6K, including me.

    I would like to provide an extreme example for reference.

    in the past , you could buy 40 packs with at least minimally reasonable odds to get the 4*. The other 4’s were removed and anything you got was exactly what you needed.

    i recently had a backlog of HP credited to my account and I bought FIVE 40 packs from Hearys of Darkness. 

    The resulr was 0 Kraven. Perhaps the Best Buy is the vault. But then you have to buy 80 tokens to guarantee one.

    The odds make no sense, even for whales. The one LT isn’t worth it. Fix the odds folks. Limit the 4* draws in the 40’s and make it reasonable.

    This is what is known as “Trying to find ways to increase revenue among a stagnant (aka not growning much) payer base without significantly angering the rest of the players”.  While players gripe about not being able to complete the Shield Training, in the end, it is ignorable and does not put a significant dent in your roster progress if you don’t complete it.

    I am sure that the current model resulted in increased revenue, or they would/might change it back.

    Anyone seeeing weird amounts of 7k scores in bracket?  So far the 6k numbers are right on track for expected values.

    im still predicting that final brackets will be 2 7k scores and 8-12 6k scores or 1% of a 1k bracket

    1-2: 7k
    3-4: 6k
    5-9: 5k

    I'm pretty sure they flipped the odds hard.  Before they changed to the less accurate ratio pages new release 4* odds were listed as like 0.1% or 1:1000, it might have been 0.2% which would be 1:500 which would be closer to the Sakaar event.  Either way yeah that's not a great way to get the new character unless you're buying buying 10-25 40 packs.  Crazy stuff.

    In almost 2 years of playing I've never gotten a new release character from their store.  I've never thrown anything other than the free tokens at it, but even then getting 2-4 tokens per event a new release event every ~3 weeks (52*2)/3 = 35 * 2 =70 - 35 * 4 140.  So out of an estimated 70-140 pulls I've never gotten the 4* from the release store.  Seems accurate for either the 1:500 or 1:1000 odds.

    Edit: Fixed bad math.
