I'm not kidding. You need it in TFT, ASAP. There should be no reason somebody building a comp that nobody else is building should get screwed over because the champions they get are only champions that OTHER PLAYERS ARE SPAMMING. What? I thought this was a shared pool. How the hell is that a shared pool?
This is the biggest thing that frustrates me too. I thought the whole "shared pool" idea was that if you collected the same champs as others, it would be harder since there are only a limited number of cards. Therefore, it pays to look at what other players are building so that you build a different comp in the hope you get more of those cards. But nope, once again it's just more RNG bullshit.
Ive seen games where only 1-2 champs drop for me over a 20+ round game that no one is building and Ive seen games with 3 different people having the same 3 star champion. Its strange because one thing I have noticed is that if I have a 2 star champ I sell for whatever reason I will almost immediately see copies of that champ show up again in the draft card pool with regularity.
It's honestly our own fault for thinking Riot would know how to balance another game when they can't even balance the one they've been working at for 10 years. The game is gonna be bad. It's going to feel good to do well, and it's going to feel like shit to do anything less. People are going to get five items when you get none; people are going to get 3-star units before you get 2-stars. And that's just what we have to accept.
I'm 80% certain it isn't a shared pool. There have been countless times I've dumped 60 gold rerolling for a champ that literally only one other person has just 2 of, and get nothing. And this was after everyone had slurped up a ton of 1-star champs, so the "pool" should have been extra small and almost entirely fully stocked with the champion I was looking for...
This is not a rare occurrence. If it happened a couple times, I would say "RNG does that". But when it happens with regularity to a severity that should happen only 1/100, something is going on that they're not telling us. Either it's not a shared pool, or there is rigging behind the scenes that they're keeping a secret. Either way, it feels bad.
