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

    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!

    I disagree. I won’t be asking for less money at my next performance evaluation at work either.

    I appreciate the generosity after years of stingy bonuses.

    I'm with you @jp1 It's just more fun playing with all the characters at champ levels. It'll still take me a very very long time to get anywhere near 550 on any of them unless I sharget them one by one.

    That said though, there would need to be a medium-term plan. Faster progress in the 5* tier should mean there is something after that to move towards. Otherwise it's trying to get 1900 pulls every 3 months to keep everyone maxed. I imagine that will be even less fun than it sounds.

    A shiny new 6* tier however... 😉

    Oh yeah, I totally see this change as a ramp up towards 6 stars
