The odds of these procs are different for each pack (and for 10x/40x pulls), as are the amounts of a given proc. Note that these are in *addition* to the current number of Shards you get from a pull, which are unchanged.

Are we missing something?
Given that 10x and 40x packs lost out massively with the switch to shards, they've got room to do something like this. Remember that those packs used to have 10% bonus hero odds compared to 5% odds on 1x packs.
Those packs still offer more shards than their single pack equivalents, but they certainly don't offer twice as many shards.

Maybe I'm having my "get off my lawn" old man moment, but dang, I can't read any text in this game anymore without having to bust out my reading glasses. Devs said it'll be fixed next release. It's in the bug section.

It's in the bug section. The smaller font on loading should be fixed next release. Fonts are slightly smaller on some character names in the collection view (to prevent overlapping names). Should remain the same for most heroes though!In the currency counter fonts are a bit smaller. That's by design and going to stick. If there's a place beyond these locations where you're having trouble reading text, can you tell me where?

If there's a place beyond these locations where you're having trouble reading text, can you tell me where? LOL. I can't read any of the ability descriptions anymore. I increased the fonts on iMessage, email, just about everything that lets me, but it's hard coded into the game at a tiny font size. The in-match font size is even smaller.It's probably just my getting older issue, though. I have to wear my x-ray specs at work now all the time just to see what I'm doing in my lab.
