Here’s a thought: there are now 169 4* in the game (excluding limited characters). The classic store boosts odds for 3 of them and rotates once every four weeks. At the current rate, we’ll get each character with boosted odds once every 169 / 3 x 4 = 225 weeks, and that’s understated because it doesn’t include the new 4s that will be introduced between now and when I’m 4 years older. If instead you went to rotating the boost list weekly, we’d get every character boosted once every 56 weeks. Although there are fewer 5s, the concept is similar (125 / 3 x 4 = 167 weeks vs every 42).

I’d prefer they just make sure they’re useful toons all the time. I never need to see Mysterio for example.
Famine didn’t need to be in Classic weighting…
But, it seems like they are (obviously?) tying the weighted toons to the theme of the season. At least to a degree. So there he is, still useless but weighted even though he’s currently still a Latest 4. That was an odd choice for sure.
I don’t know how easy it is to make new stores or switch the weighting but it definitely sounds like more stuff to do for them. The game just has a lot of characters so really all we can do it sit back and enjoy the ride until we don’t. You’ll only really build high a small % of the 409 characters from now until you stop playing. Too much dilution.
I do think they should offer better return on faves somehow at this point. That would help more.

I’d rather have them buff Mysterio/Famine/etc so they’re good.
I’ll keep levelling them up for now, just in case they get good in the future. It’s a pretty common occurrence.
