Rebalancing Rosters' Colors

I hope there is a Rosters color balance. For when a character is given, often, only the same color comes.

Example: Thor ** - green; Thor5 * - red; Mr.Fantastic- Blue; Hulk4 * - green; Duck- green;

    Example:
    Hulk4 * only comes green.
    They could increase the chances of blue and black coming too.

    The Hulk (Totally Awesome)
    Although it came (blue) in "Claws for Concern". Never seen, come black in some "vault".
    The question here is not of 'never' comes. But, of being very difficult to come.

    Using as an example The Hulk (Totally Awesome) is very easy to come green color and extremely difficult to come black. So the request to give balance.

    Cover colors in PVP prog and placement go through a predicted rotation, though with 60+ 4* the cover rotation is slow.  Same with DPD vaults I believe the color of the 4* offered is predetermined on a rotation basis. 

    Other vaults it's random and also randomly when out of tokens, but all colors for a character have the same chance of appearing.  If you're only seeing one, it's a bad RNG time for you.  See my 0/0/5 5* Doc Ok for an example of RNG evil!

    Also from the earlier sneak peak.

    3-Star: Wolverine (Patch) - Yellow
    2-Star: Thor (Marvel NOW!) - Yellow, Red

    Regarding "Placement Rewards" you are absolutely right.

    But it is very difficult to get into the top positions unless you already have extremely strong characters. So much so that: When the time is running out all the first ones are using 'Shield Protect'.
    But in relation to progress and 'vault' I do not think that colors are balanced.

    Doc Ok used as an example only gives more strength to what I'm saying.

    random is random.
    But only come the same color all the time .... strange.

    Yeah the trouble with truly random things is they often appear not random. And I’m pretty sure there are controls in there already to make it seem more random.

    Randomness means every variable has a chance to be chosen. In the context of colours per character, each colour has 1/3 of a chance to be chosen. Each chosen colour do not increase the chance of getting the next 2 colours. The next two colours won't have a probability of 66.66% and 99.99% of getting chosen. It remains the same at 33.33%.

    I believe progression rewards follow the same rotation as placement rewards.
    Also, what everyone else said. Randomness can be weird sometimes.

    Came the damn green duck again!

    Is the duck also random or is the game scheduled to send only green?
