    I'm not sure metrics are as valuable for balance as for something like people quitting the game.

    I could even argue that metrics possibly lead to why Spidey sucks. They relied on metrics to tell them Spidey was OP. Okay, good. Now what? You can't rely on metrics as much to tell you how to properly balance him. Without a deeper understanding of the game mechanics, you get a half-assed nerf.

    Consider Spidey users vs non-Spidey users. The latter will likely be more happier with the nerf than the former. Would metrics really tell you that Spidey is good or that people are just happy with him sucking?


    The only role metrics should play when it comes to balance imo is priority. If there are two abusable mechanics, but one is abused a lot vs the other abused onlly a little, that metric allows you deal with the more important issue first.
    Remember, the metrics were showing that 2* cap was actually one of the more popular characters for the longest time, no matter how questionably useful he is

    Metrics are good as they help to make informed decisions. However, they need to be sure they are measuring meaningful data.

    For example, their metrics may show that Capt was the most popular 2*. More questions can be asked, "which groups used him the most?", and "what is he popular for?".

    If we break down the metrics, we might see that capt is popular for players with only 1* to 2* heroes, and he is only popular in pve. But among players with max 2* and beyond, he is not used at all.

    Breaking down of the metrics are important and I hope that D3 is trying to make meaningful interpretation for the data.

    Also, the metrics aren't "illegal" - D3 are allowed to draw conclusions based on what people are purchasing. They can see that X amount of people bought the Stockpile bonus on a given day, for example, without exposing anyone's personal information.

    .:: 10 Pack alternatives ::.


    20% 3* of featured hero only, 30% 2* cover, 40% 500 ISO, 10% 1000 ISO

    Means that chances of getting
    1. Cover : ISO = 50:50
    2. 3* cover : 2* cover = 40:60

    So 10x pull results (average calculation) :
    1. At least 2 x 3* featured cover
    2. 3 x 2* cover
    3. ISO : 2500 (5x500) or 3000([4x500]+[1x1000])

    Compare with current 6% chance :
    1. 0/1 x 3* featured cover
    2. 9/10 x 2* (2250 - 2500 ISO if u sell em)

    And I totally agree that 6% chance is an insult, and definitely avoiding me from buying it (again).

    D3 u so F U C K E D up!

    ahhh sorry for my bad word, i'm just shocked and try to help him (and others) by giving other game alternatives to spend their money.

    Btw who said that DareDevil is a useless char?
    D3 wins a lot from him! look 10pack is definitely an "Ambush" trap set by D3. Cheap, random positioning but deadly!

    Cmon D3, ppl spent $125 just to get (ok let's say i got very lucky) all 42 3*** covers, still can't compare with those 3 random steam game i mentioned, which is much worth to spend.
