My hoard seems very solid for me to cover Kitty, I decided to give the "Family Legends" a shot with some of the CP. Because of this "challenge," I decided that 21 was a good number, here's what I got:
2 5* - Black Bolt and OML - Below average but only by one. More annoyingly, it was Thor I wanted (my Thor is still only 252, one of my lowest 5*s,) but the RNG is random... >shrug<
8 Featured 4*s - Spider-Man, Luke, Carnage, R&G x3, Vulture, Captain Marvel x2,
10 Non-Featured 4*s - Star Lord, Wasp x2, Gwenpool, IMHB, Emma, Sandman, Prof X, Rulk, JG
3 Bonus Heroes - allWar Machine - I wanted him to 320 for the IM46 cover and that took him exactly there.
So, I didn't get what I really, really wanted, which was at least one more Thor cover, but that's the way it goes. I may pull a bit more if I cover Kitty on Wednesday and the timing works out. I did, however, get 3 Rocket and Groot, which is awesome, and got my War Machine to 320 which is where I want him. Now I have to decide what 4* to set BH now, maybe it's back to Sandman for GG, or maybe Spiderman (IW) for BSSP or maybe even Valkyrie for Thor...

In fact, it's the *only* character at increased odds I haven't pulled at least one cover for.

In fact, it's the *only* character at increased odds I haven't pulled at least one cover for. That's unfortunate, but you kind of have to look at it from a straight statistics standpoint. The "Family Legends" store is set up pretty much the way the "Latest" and "Classics" used to be - with 12 curated 4*s taking the place of the 12 latest. That means that any particular 4* draw has a 50% chance of being one of the 12, and a 50% chance of being one of the rest.Divide your number by 2, then divide it again by 12 - that's how many of any particular 4* you would have pulled on average (so about half the time.) 90 -> 45 -> just under 4. Sure, the odds are against drawing at least one - on average you should have drawn 4, but that's not outside the curve by any means...
Woof, that BH rate sucks, but I've seen that on my own pulls. You feel that one more keenly because the BH give you a lot more control over what you pull. Still, a 5* BH is like a unicorn.
I mean, how much your spending burns you depends on how much you need Kitty and Cable, really. they're both decent, but not game-changing, so in the long run it really doesn't matter that much.
I made another 9 pulls myself before noon - got two more Bolts but no Thor. Ah well.

I pulled some Classics since I got what I wanted out of Latest (finished Kitty, my Cable is 11 covers, and I have 6 KP covers.) Here's what I got:
4 Stars: America, CM, Dazzler, Elektra x2, Gwenpool, JG, Medusa, Nebula, Nova, Peggy, Prof X. Prowler x2, Shuri, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, TAHulk, Valkyrie
5 Stars: Archangel (boo! Though he did give me a LT,) Spider Man (Back in Black) (a cover I needed, which is good for PVE.)
1 BH (IW Spider Man, I want one more cover for my BSSM.)
So I was down one 5*, but that's not much of an outlier, and average for BH.

I finally scrounged up one Green cover last Fall when I pushed beyond push to get to 40 wins in a PvP I had no right playing in. Pulled two last night.. any Green? NOPE! Those two pushed her to 6 Saved Covers. I said "screw it" and traded them in. I don't play that way, it's not my style. I'm slow, I'm methodical, I'M CHEAP. But for Carol (and potentially ONLY Carol) I decided I could live with it. //venting session completed//
I don't think that's inherently a bad decision. Carol is a good character. She's very, very useful - even when she's not boosted she still has great utility in laying down and buffing strike tiles, and her black still hits like a truck. While the normal strategy would be 4 levels is better than 1 cover, if you get more utility out of the cover, I'd say it's a good decision.
If you're really solidly in 4* land, Classics may be a better decision in the long run - 1 extra pull every 4 will definitely give you a lot more covers. Kitty is tempting though, I admit, and having 1 cover to do Kingpin's node is important.
