    You are probably right. But seeded algorithms are still used all the time. The seed is the starting point of any algorithm.
    Look at say the Binding of Isaac. the specific upgrades are always the same, but the fluff is different.
    This is really all just semantics from the observers perspective though.
    Even knowing the presented randomness is predetermined it is still random to me.

    Well, I went 0 for 16. Lame. It sucks because I really could have used a Strange cover too. Oh well.

    That’s disappointing, especially since I’ve read we’re “guaranteed “ 15%.

    I just wanted to make a quick point that many of you know, but some do not:

    the odds given in the store as 1:7 actually means 1 success to 7 failures, so there are actually 8 total attempts to get this ratio. 1/8 is a 12.5% success rate. It does NOT mean 1 success in 7 attempts, which is 14.29% Just wanted to make that clarification, as I misunderstood it for a while as well.

    That being said, I managed to get 1 cover for each of the 3 5*s in the store with around 25ish attempts (It's my fault that I didn't keep track of how many pulls I did over the span of the store.) So I think I stayed pretty close to that 12.5% success rate. But being a 4* player, I also liked many of the 4*s I did get, so i usually didn't mind when I did pull a 4*, as some of them were champ rewards.

    If only. Stuff like this is why I wish there was a way to at least get extra 4* and 5* bonus shards if let's say you go 10 pulls without getting a 5*.

    At some point a few years ago they shifted away from posting the odds as exact percentages to the "rounded" figures of 1:7, 1:4, etc.  There are multiple sources of confirmation since that change, both "official" and "unofficial", that the 5* odds for legendary tokens are still 5% each for the 3 featured 5*, for a 15% total odds that any single pull will be a 5*.

    Ok, thanks. I wasn't around then, so was just going by the standard nomenclature that odds are given in and what it means.

    This store was an absolute victory for me.  I got 9 FF tokens out of the anniversary vault, and spent another 4350 CP on 183 total pulls.

    16 Apoc (plus more from shards, up to 480)
    15 Kitty (from 6 covers to champed at 458)
    9 Strange (from 10 covers to champed at 456)

    40 total 5* out of 183 pulls for a whopping 21.9%.  I also got my first set of 5* bonus shards, only the 50 but better than nothing!

    Since I started tracking for the last 6 months my overall 5* rate in all combined stores is 79 of 425 for 18.6%.

    I was disappointed, 50 pulls and one strange, one kitty. I am now 1 cover away from champing Strange, but what a disappointing percentage.

    Total 10 pulls which gives me 2 Dr Strange covers, which turned to be saved covers.  :s

    Wow! That is really close to the things I was saying. Or perhaps you will be another 3.355% player lol.

    Thank you for responding to this in a correct way , I wanted to say the same thing when I saw this post but I know I would have definitely received multiple flags for my answer
