    I usually score 2 each LR I can fully participate in and this was quite a bit over the 8? I expected to get from the locked events. I know I'm not alone in NOT expecting good first day implementation for most releases nowadays but BCS continue to make good on reparations. I'd rather things work out from the get-go, but it's a lot better than getting kicked in the teeth out of nowhere and being told to "suck it up".

    I like it when modes i don't play get broken, lots of free compensation.

    Cynic mode - LRs breaking were intentional to provide hefty token compensation so everyone could see the bonus shard increase resulting in more pulls being made...

    Seeing more bonus shards for sure. A very welcome change.

    I open tokens when Jeffrey enters LT store, I can't wait

    I would LOVE it if you would give us the bonus shard odds for each and every type of token. Pretty please.

    A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

    It was an absolute win for token hoarding. I had 2300ish mighty and heroics and added 75LT to my pot and a tonne of CP and HP. I moved on a hell of a lot of 3 and 4 stars for champ rewards.

    I don't think you are exaggerating enough. I pulled everything I had, out of fear they would reverse course.

    Exaggerating what? Sorry you have lost me.

    I found you! You and Hulk are much closer than I expected.

    I meant to suggest anyone with massive LT and or CP Hoards, this change if their Christmas. I added 50ish levels to my bonus hero 5* and from his feeder which I bh as well.

    The LL store just updated. I pulled 100 tokens (two 50 button pulls).. wow.. I got almost 3 covers worth of 5* shards! The first 50 pull gave me a 780 bonus 5* shard

    Now you've made me wonder how it ended at 780 exactly. :) Bonuses are 50, 125 or 500 and 50 pulls would give 150, right?

    After never getting more than 50 shards for a 5* since shards were introduced, I got 500 and then 100 shards on back to back LL pulls.

    The devs are wild man. And I’m all about it. 👍🏿

    The bonus shards have been plentiful and much appreciated. I still haven’t landed a 500 bonus for 5* yet but seeing how often they’ve been hitting after this update it’s only a matter of when it’ll come it seems at this rate.

    Many thanks for this beautiful change!

    Oops you're right. It was 875. Idk why I had 780 in my head

    Wow! One bonus of 500 shards and 2 of 125. On 50 pulls. Even if you don't get any LL cover, sure a good smile can appear there.

    This is a VERY bold roster-building strategy, after they've announced their intention to nerf him!

    I was going to say, that's an interesting choice.

    I think the new shard bonuses are a bit extreme. Won't be long until eveeyine is running multiple 550s.

    May I suggest a bonus percent somewhere in the middle?

    Lol I was waiting for someone to say something. I am banking on a 5* Gambit V2 type of "nerf"

    I remember when I heard rumors of Gambits nerf, so I stopped trying to pull his covers, then he was "nerfed" and I felt like I missed out. Well not this time! Maybe. We'll see!
