What the hell? Just spent 2k cp in LL and just got one 5*, the same problem also happens a lot to one of my alliance players, what kind of buffoonery is this!?

The RNG is a harsh mistress.0

It just took me 96 pulls to get one Crystal cover. I hear your frustrations. But it is what it is

I have a run like that every 3-4 months. And then you come out the other side of it and have a week where you have 20-30% of pulls be 5*. It all averages out in the end.0

I mean I just pulled a 5* Star Lord from his cover store so I can't really complain. As for LL's yeah you can go on a stretch where you will pull very few 5s sometimes. On my last hoard I only did like a 14% pull rate which sucked.0

That's why it's good to track your pulls because it'll manage your emotions better. I had a few dry spells and it even out after that.1

Got her on 2nd pull, 2 in total from 32 pulls (plus 4 each of the other 2). So 10 out of 32 is unusually good.0

I'm curious, when you hear players saying that they got 1 5* out of 80 pulls, what kind of result do you imagine?
Are you thinking that that player pulled the 5* on the:
1) 80th pull
2) 40th pull, followed by 40 4* covers
3)20th pull, followed by 60 4* covers
4) others
It seems like eveyone defaults to 1 5* at the 80th pull. If the result is 1 5* at the 40th pull, followed by 40 4* covers, does it change your perception?0 -

It does indeed even out in the end: my 5* pull rate is 15.9% or 1 in 6.3 (sample size of 2365 LLs), so I'm expecting a long dry spell to start anytime now.

It's interesting how humans look at the same thing differently.0

Dang. That's worse than mine. It took me 96 pulls to get Crystal rostered, but there were plenty of Abigails and two Elektras in there.

80 pulls for 1 5* it's a dry spell quite devastating, no matter if it's on the 30th pull or on the 80th, I can understand the frustration.
I'm preparing a post of the results from my hoard and there I'll post videos when I have access to wifi in several days.0 -
First, I must point out that we have a thread like this every month and every month we tell that player that dry spells happen to all of us but the 5* rate evens out in the end.Second, (guessing the 5* cover was in the middle) having a dry spell of 40 pulls is unlikely, but it still happens. Having 2 back to back dry spells of 40 pulls is very very unlikely and I hope this player doesn’t lose hope because of it.Third, I would bet that his 5* odds are going to be above 15% in the next 80 pulls. The funny thing about probabilities is that there must be hot spells to offset the dry spells, because the average rate over time always approaches 15%. It’s funny because each pull is independent of the previous pulls and has no memory of past pulls. But…..without fail, “hot spells” follow dry spells, you just don’t know when they’re coming.1
