Probably done with competitive PVE entirely. I know it's just random, but it really feels like the game is trolling me giving out FA-Cap rewards for the next PVE.
"Hoarded for the past couple weeks. Blew my CP and LTs to finish off Sinister and now back to hoarding mode.
5 covers for Havok.3 covers for iHulk."
The above was copy/pasted from my original post just about a month ago. I pulled as I went about a week after that, then I hoarded most CP (I gave up on the apocalypse store after around 200 cp after failing to get him) and Latest in that time and cashed them in just a few minutes ago. FWIW, I hate hoarding. Always have. Always will.
Of today's pulls, 59 total pulls and only 7 x 5*s. One of which was Havok. That's 11.8%. My overall average after around 800 pulls is close to 12%. I'm not sure I'll keep track ever again.
So Havok is now up to 9 covers. 9. Immortal Hulk is 1/2/4 and Yelena is now 2/0/3.
After successfully champing every single 5* in Latest over the last couple years and having all classic 5*s now champed, it looks like that run is about to come to an end.
As the last enjoyment I got out of this game was the ability to keep up with 5* releases, the clock is now officially ticking. No feeders in months, despite the hellish increased 5* release rate and drops in CP. That may have mitigated my disgruntledness if I knew I could get a few covers that way. I'm now up to 278 roster slots. The magic 300 is closer than ever. I can barely keep up HP to roster dupe 4s as it is.
So I guess I have two weeks to somehow magic up 4 non-duplicate havok covers. 2,266 days and I feel like the managers at my job are forcing me into retirement after years of dedicated service without a single vacation.
I'll update in two weeks when I inevitably fail to pull my 4 remaining havok covers.
It's been fun guys. We'll see what happens by June 1st, but I am not hopeful at all.

If that's the case and I don't play for a day (and this would be my absolute first that I didn't play in a row after 2,340 days), I'm honestly not sure I'm opening this app back up.You win devs.
