I'm baffled by how much 3 star units people manage to get.

Like, for real. This is something that blows my mind.

I save up gold, try to reroll a bunch, buy other champs I don't want to get more chance of the champs I need..Yet I see people getting a 3 star unit at 9 minutes of the game while I'm still with one star units.

Sometimes I see people ending the game with 4 or 5 three star units. The highest amount that I got was two three stars, only one match, and I was INCREDIBLY lucky that game.

HOW?

I'm amazed when people can get 2 stars ffs, I'll save up and roll down over and over again and STILL get units that just sit at tier 1 for an eternity even when nobody else is trying to grab them.

Meanwhile some jackass is getting 3 stars back to back on contested units 3 other people have on their bench like its nobody's business.

In my experience, pure luck plays a massive part on it.

Yesterday I couldn't make a level 3 Warwick, but for some reason I managed to make a level 3 Shyvana and a level 3 Evelynn.

3 star units are not the be all and end all. Comp and items win more games than just pure tier. The first thing you need to remember is the shared pool of champs is always random. So if your seeing people with 2 Tier Warwick early on the likely hood of you pulling a warwick is less than other champs that are not being pulled. If your getting alot of a certain champ that means other players are not grabbing that champ meaning more left in the pool. I let others fight for popular champs while I tier up the less popular ones building a good comp around them.

Luck has a TON to do w/ it.. The other thing is be willing to ADAPT. For example, the other night, I had no intent on building elemental. Well, a few rr's I kept seeing effin Lissandra so I was like w/e. 2-3 rounds, I have a t3. The other night I WANTED to run glacial, couldn't get a 2 star Braum so save my butt.. He just wasn't showing up.. Spent too much money rr'ing to get him to 2 stars. It took 10x+ the gold (or more)to roll a 2 star Braum than it took me to get a 3 star Lissandra . The other night I wanted jinx but flippin draven kept showing up. Got the draven.. I find you get hosed hard if you want certain champs. The game just sometimes won't give em to you.

if you are building the same comps as other people you have a much smaller chance at 3*

if you're doing voidsassins and cant find the units you need there's probably like 3 or 4 people running the same thing

Believe it or not, I've gotten a tier 3 Khazix at round 2-4

The wonders of RNG.

1 game i had 2 2star vaynes brfor the first shared draft, i went for a high roll befor getting lvl 5 and i still ended the game with vayne on lvl 2, another game i basically stumble into nida+ww 3stars after krugs without ever high rolling. And in that first game, only one other was going for vayne, while in the other game there were a total of 4 wild comps. It's just pure luck and that's it...

Unless you keep selling parts of the one you want its just bad luck man. some times you holding out for lets say lucain but you get 8 reksai's looking for that lucain not counting the reksai's from before you hard roll, but you werent looking for reksai and it doesnt fit in the comp you have so far. its massive luck much like getting teammates who dont insta tilt if some one on their team gives first blood.

hyperrolling You econ until 3-2 (10/12 xp to level 5) then roll down all of your gold while looking for 1 cost units for whatever comp you're going for. Most players seem to be in agreement that it's generally a very unhealthy strat for the game, but it's so strong that unless you're going for a comp that requires a lot of high cost units, it's the way to go. after 3-2, you econ again and generally cash in at either 4-1 and level at 4-3, or econ until 18/20 xp to 6 if a comp you're going really needs 3* 1 or 2 cost units and you didn't get them before.

I agree but for me its "im baffle by how much3 star units people manage to get, when i cant get one."

I usually keep an eye on gold a lot to see what people are spending. I'm more shocked sometimes that people have level 6 and the same gold as me while I just passed level 5.

I think some people roll a lot more early, claiming 1 gold units. I generally don't roll until late 20 gold or 30 + as I want to get that interest.

People get get a lot of 3 stars roll early and hard and then hope to go on a win streak as supplementary income. The massive gold orbs also sometimes mitigate them being irresponsible with their gold. Sometimes, I have 50 Coins going into a creep round, and come out with 71-76. That's how much gold can be in the system.

If you are 10 coin and get that same massive creep drop, you're up to a decent 30 coin economy even if you were playing risky and rolling.

You won't get a lot of 3 stars if you save up to begin with.

That being said: your Tier 4/5 2 Stars are usually worth more than those 3 star Tier 1's.
