Inspired by the works of unco_dan and JVReal, this thread is meant to celebrate, bemoan, or just ponder the absurdity of those little quirky outliers that RNG gives you.
For example, I just pulled three standards in a row and got

I don’t know what the odds of pulling two 3* characters out of three standard pulls is, but it has to be low.
Pulled 66 of 80 out of hulk vault and no 4* or leg token. Silver lining is my 10 pack pull tomorrow should be awesome, unless RNGesus decides to be a tinykitty
Last weekend I pulled two IW yellow in a row, and it is the second time that I have pulled two consecutive IW yellows.
To make things even weirder before pulling these two IW I pulled two 5s, both the same, and the first time it happened it was even the same color (IM46 yellow)! Seriously what are the odds ???
I was actually going to post something about this…
I really think that, sometime around the anniversary, the drop rates on standard tokens were tweaked to increase the chances of a 3* drop. It’s anecdotal evidence at best, but I open a lot of standard tokens, so it’s not a small sample size…
Pre-“change”, the drop rate for 3s was pretty predictable – it was about one 3 for every couple hundred tokens. In 600-700 days of play, I had gotten maybe 4 or 5 3* drops from standard tokens. (And one 4*, once, long ago…). Since then, in about 150 days of play (give or take), I’ve gotten about 9 3* drops from standards. I don’t think that’s statistical variance… that’s an underlying change.
It seems that the 3* odds may have gone from something like 0.05% to something more like 0.5% or maybe even 1%. But, of course, we’ll never know the subtle mysteries of the standard token…
First run of Strange Sights in October gave me 25 event tokens, I pulled 2s in 24 of them (only 3 was a Quicksilver)
Power Gem Season yielded 16 event tokens, I pulled 2*s in 15 of them (and the only gold cover was a Prof X which I already have maxed)
My last 7 5* pulls from LTs have been
. It’s like my LLs only have Black Widows and my CLs only have Jeans. Would it hurt to add some covers to a character that is not Jean?
every morning i usually get 3 elites. every morning i pull 2 of bullseye/hawkeye/ares (the 3 2* i keep permanently and don’t farm) and something else that probably doesn’t help much.
in fact, just used the elite i got from best friends and pulled… wait for it. a hawkeye! with all the 3* and 2* to choose from you’d think it’d be a wee bit more random.
well i knew this was coming. my wasp is currently 0/5/1. just pulled a wasp from an heroic. you’d never guess what colour it is. c’mon, try to guess!
Last night playing the BFF event, I got rewarded with 13 2* covers. One hawkguy, one widow, and 11 red moonstone covers. I couldn’t believe my good luck.
