Now if only I could BH them both rather than shard one. The shard progress feels so glacial. My 5x 10 packs had a reasonable chance of a 4* BH, didn't really care which one of the 2 I got it for.
I've given up on sharding Mysterio, 173 wasted shards on him (5/2/5, I'll now wait for the natural cover). He was my only target to finish while the other 2 were locked. Sharding champed 4* isn't a worthwhile pursuit IMHO.

I was kind of curious whether this was actually true, or if it is just a rose tinted view of the old system.
Looking at the heroic token odds, you've got a 1:14 chance of pulling a 4* cover, and a 1:4 chance of pulling a 3* cover, with the remaining pulls being 2* covers. Given that bonus covers are never 2*, the odds that a bonus cover will be a 4* is about 22%.
A 10-pack had 1:10 odds that each pull would give a bonus cover, or a 2.2% chance of a 4* bonus hero. So there was about a 20% chance that you'd get at least one 4* bonus hero cover from a 10-pack. Alternatively, you could think of each pack averaging out to awarding 22% of a 4* cover.
Under the new scheme each 10-pack awards you exactly 10% of a 4* cover (40 shards). So you are indeed correct that your 10-packs are not producing as many bonus covers as they used to. It's about half of what the old system gave.
