Not one red skull cover from LL

in MPQ General Discussion

I haven’t pulled a single cover for Red Skull since he has been in LL. I have probably drawn two dozen Zemo, Sunspot and SS covers but not a single one for Red Skull. This almost seems intentional, like because of the controversy with him being a Nazi they felt like they had to put him in the game because everybody wanted him, but then they don’t want anybody to actually have him champed. I’ve only managed to just get him champed to 450 through shards and feeders.

Has anyone else experienced this?

    Zemo is also a Nazi.

    I get plenty of Red Skull covers.

    Mine is 490 but I am also favoriting him for the heck of it.

    I know, that’s why it’s so weird to me that Skull got so much hate and Zemo got so little. There were a lot of people threatening to quit or not roster Skull, but I didn’t see nearly as many complaining about Zemo.

    A teammate said he got 2 with just a few pulls. Maybe I’ll have better luck when Sunspot leaves. 🤷‍♂️

    I have Zemo at 478 and Skull at 463, doesn't seem a Nazi issue (well, y'know, beyond the Nazi issue...)

    Zemo in game is the son of the Nazi. (Not a euphemism.). The Nazi died years ago.

    Is he somewhat fascist etc? Arguably although some may disagree. He definitely has designs on world domination etc. Or has had. You know.

    Red Skull is the same mind (body has long ago died) that was working with/a Nazi in WWII so for some that’s a….red line given the history and genocide, etc.

    I don’t feel like getting this argument going again but all that’s happening here is RNG being annoying.

    It took me forever to champ 5 star electro because every single time I pulled a cover for her it was yellow. I pulled plenty of covers for her, but every one was yellow.

    By the time she left latest I had her at like 1/2/5 with 27 saved covers. Sometimes RNG just doesn't like you

    Lmao, ok I don’t feel so bad now. I did FINALLY manage to pull one about 2 pulls after my last post. He’s at 451 now, yay. Now if I can just get about 35-40 more before he leaves LL I’ll be happy.

    OP has already drawn "two dozen" Sable covers since last Thursday, 4 days ago? Must have busted open a modest hoard of around 450-500 pulls. And got ZERO of another 5 in the tokens in all those pulls?

    That would be an unlikely acheievement ... but with enough monkeys pulling long enough, such things would happen eventually.

    FWiW, pulled 2 Johanns back-to-back over the wknd. Maybe I stole one of yours, OP. If so, apologies. If given an address, will drop your erstwhile Nazi in the mail.

    I think for the most part Zemo has been about revenge and Daddy issues rather than anything else but he has been willing to work with the Skull so I don't think he necessarily shuns his father's past overly either, he just isn't interested in the Nazi legacy compared to the "honour" of his family name (which is completely ruined by the Nazi stuff!).

    Oddly I have had a reasonable distribution in latest but in classics I have pulled lots of Jessica and Iceman but no Electra covers at all.

    I meant I had drawn about 2 dozen between all 3. Only about 5 or 6 were SS, the rest were Zemo and Sunspot (he’s at 483 now). And I drew a 2nd RS today so he’s at 452 now and SS is 450.

    Oh .... well that makes more sense, much more likely ... but also less exciting :D
    I hope your distributions revert to the mean immediately.

    Must have been my post that did it. I finally pulled an Electra cover today. I don’t know how many pulls it took, but I have pulled five or six times a day from classics since her odds have been boosted.
