    I'm guessing not. I sold my 3 dupe 2* to roster Doop/Arcade to save the HP and pulled everything I could to get some more and bought a few things to get more. I've now got more HP than I had at the start going into the last vault with a free 10-pack.

    One more vault. Supposed to be a re-run of the 1st vault so would feature Shang, BRB, Kitty as the 5*

    The vault was great fun even with a couple of dupes over the course of the entire season. Great stuff devs!

    It was meant to be simplistic.
    Forums/Line = largely min/max, completionist and/or meta chaser
    In-game = others 

    I just find it funny that  Dr Strange can reveal the deep differences of how these two group of players think. Forums/Line dread Dr Strange appearing in FF but in-game players love Dr Strange.

    I guess that’s one way to look at the data. You see Doctor Strange in the vault, and feel that it supports your theory that the majority of players are casuals. While the forums/Line community represent the 1% that are chasing metas and don’t represent the much larger casual community that plays this game non-competitively on the toilet.

    What I see, is a large majority of meta characters in these vaults with the occasional outlier. You take these outliers as proof of your theory, rather than seeing them for what they are (outliers).

    The folks voting for Doctor Strange are likely also chasing the meta, no differently than the folks here. You ask me who my favorite 5* is and I have no idea what an Okoye, or Shang or Chasm does, because my only 5* is a 3 cover Cyclops I got in a store who sits on my bench, I’ll likely vote for Strange since he’s killing it for me in my tier, he changed the game for me, and I have to answer something.

    Other outliers I’ve seen are

    Wolverine- who had value to lower tiers as a healer but is all but gone from these stores. He’s also marvels true Multiple Man… in 50 books/teams all at the same time because they know he sells

    And

    Deadpool- who is Marvels Harley Quinn and will always be insanely popular with a certain demo. 5* Pool is also a really good character (just outside meta) and gives freebies that lower tier players would want to roster him for… notice both of these characters 4*s got chosen for increased odds this anniversary as well.

    But the MAJORITY of the vote… it’s usually top 10 characters, Thor, Okoye, BRB, Kitty, Shang, Jessica (when she was meta), Switch, etc. these are the characters that the majority of the players vote for. This leads me to believe the the majority actually want stores with the best tools available while a small subset just want to play with their favorite characters. Which makes sense because at the end of the day it’s a competitive game with winners and rewards for those winners, so people want tools that help them… you know, win? Again, not everyone. But the large majority.

    Bottom line: just looking at the vaults it seems the forums probably do represent the majority.
