I was looking at it today and wondering how long it will be before they split it into 2 pools (if that ever happens).
We asked for something similar for heroics years ago and it never happened.
There are currently 9 in classics and 3 in latest. You know they want to keep that incentive up for latest. I’m betting there’s no way the split it with any less than 12 in classics. That’s about 3 months away. More likely, since I’ve been around long enough to know better, it won’t happen until there are 20 of them, if it happens at all.
I thought this would be fun to simulate.

I already wasted to many pulls. I’m completely on board with the hoard/pull for a latest trio/hoard/pull for a latest trio plan. there is a lot that I wouldn’t change much going back through my time playing, but the way I handled LT pulls and cp is the FIRST thing I’d go back and change. hoard everything for when phx was added. pull until those 3 are finished. then hoard until latests hit and then pull each trio you have 300 for. I’d likely have 6 champs already and be on my way to another set. instead I have 11 cover ss, 10 cover oml, 7 cover IM, 5 cover banner and bssm, etc, etc, etc. all those pulls wasted. they helped me champ some 4s, but my 4s weren’t really ready for those pulls either and many were wasted. now I have ~60% of the 4s done and it won’t waste nearly as many.
Would it be possible to add a third option, kind of like a rotating vault? You take three featured 5* and put them into their own classic vault with the 5% drop rate for a couple of weeks so people can try to finish building the older 5’s.
Looking at an isolated selection of classic legends tokens I pulled in one sitting here is the order I got them in:
Bruce Banner, Gwenpool, Wasp, BSS, Bruce Banner, Bruce Banner, BSS
Now that looks amazing and super “sticky” but if you look at my entire pull history you see a 14.8% legendary pull rate and random distribution across most characters available. The more data I see on legendary tokens the more I think it’s truly random and we just see patterns because a particular batch of random pulls look like a pattern.
