Aaaaaaaaannd I already cashed in my 10-pack from this season. Definitely would not have done that if I knew what I know now.
Ah well, c’est la vie, mon ami
Sort of. The math doesn’t work out, at all. You can only heart a couple older 4s before your draw rate on older 4s becomes less under the new system than the old one.
Highly champed 4s were competitive with 5s. It’s a blast running those (boosted Iceman this week was so much fun), and now it’s going to be much, much longer before people can get a broad base of other 4*s up to that level.
Pve/pvp placement & progression, vaults, and as your selected “bonus heroes”
Right, 10% would cut that in half, which is a bit better.
So - increased chances on one of the twelve most recent 4’s that are available, and a static 5% chance of your “favorite” 4*. I’ll take it. Should help players target those characters that are undercovered or behind on levels.
I know I’ll be “favoriting” Squirrel Girl (lowest level 3), X-Force Deadpool (undercovered), and Green Goblin (only missing yellow covers). Any chance to randomly pull a favorite is a plus. Also, knowing I can change my favorite at any time without any penalty? Bring it on! 
You designate older characters that you want as Bonus Heroes and get them as freebies with token pulls every so often. There’s no limit on the number of characters you can tag that way, so you can just apply it to every out-of-rotation character if you want.
Why would you ever choose more than 1 favorite from each tier? It seems like you just dilute the chance of getting the hero you really want.
It just posted and it looks like you can favorite an unlimted amount of heroes? Am I seeing this right?
If thats the case, you could just favorite just about anyone you’re lacking and any of your champs and be fine?
Aww, Bagman is exempt (along with Howard and Dino). 
But, seriously, very nice feature. I like it!
Please tell me I misunderstand this!
They are limiting the amount of 3s and 4s I can draw from cover packs? (I think I read that correctly)
Can I still get all of the 3s and 4s from vaults?
It’s live, 4 stars have been vaulted in legendary tokens too
Also, anyone complaining itll be impossible for new players to get a peggy or imhb or whoever covered from scratch clearly doesnt look at pack odds. Before it was 1 in 20 (5%) for a 4* for heroic, then 1 in 45 (# of 4* characters) for a specific one. Thats 1 in every 900 heroic pulls. This new system is 5%5%, or 1 in 400 for a bonus. As long as you only pick one or two, your odds go up. Pick more than 2 in any tier, they go down for vaunted heroes. 3 were 1 in 168 before, can be 1 in 80 now, so again, just pick one at a time if theyre vaulted. 5s, like I said, look like an increase of 0.75% for the entire tier. Pick one and its 0.75 for that one. Pick 3 and its 0.25% for each.
I’m thinking this over
Bonus heroes sounds like a great idea
Limiting the characters I can get far balances that out with stupid and has me seriously thinking about calling it quits. Certainly not going to spend any more money.
This.
Why, when adding a new feature (which, granted, is just a 5% “bonus”), must you take something away??? What possible reason is there for only having the latest 3 and 4 star characters in these packs? Now you’re stifling progress for players’ older characters. Ugh
Apologies, as there was a bit of confusion on our end. Here is what that one line regarding Classic and Latest Legends meant:
Latest Legends packs will continue to have the latest three released 5-Stars and Classic Legendary packs will have all 5-Stars except that last three that have been released I have updated the original post to reflect this.
So, does it work for Elite and Heroic tokens?
D3 may have just killed MPQ 
“Classic Legendary Stores contain all but the three latest 5-Stars and cost 20 Command Points per draw.” - how are newer player supposed to get the older 5*s?
Then, the real mistake, they limit the available 4s!! Who thought this was a good idea? How are players supposed to get 4 covers for older champions? Not all of us can finish in the top 10 of slices to get rewards.
D3 is lucky I just renewed my VIP, sadly it will probably be the last time I do. I’ll give them till then to convince me to stay. If not, this is the update that killed MPQ for me.
Does work for Elite as just got a bonus off one of them for a 3 star.
As a note that people may not have thought about yet this is also an ISO buff as you will get more covers for champion levels which generate ISO and other stuff.
If you favorite EVERYONE, then the bonus cover you get can come from a pool of any of those heroes. If you favorite only 1, the bonus cover is going to be only from that hero. It’s a way to target a specific hero (or heroes) and level them up faster.
So if and/or when I pull a bonus hero card is there a designated color to this card or do we actually get to choose which color we want? If it’s colorless that would be great. An actual way of getting that last card for a Champ would be great no matter how slim the chances actually are.
