Draft pick rates too low?

Re: Draft pick rates too low?

They should change it so the percentage of drafting a top tier card increases as you hit board resets up until it's a guarantee. Currently having to play thousands of games before you get the top tier card makes grinding very tough. If the chances increased the longer you went than you'd be able to get lucky and bunk the top tier slightly earlier on occasion.

I've always thought that your drop chances of a higher tier should increase the less cards you have left on the board. So if you manage to get it down to 2 cards, you should have like a 50% chance of something better than a rare.

Exactly. In diablo as time goes by your chances of dropping a legendary item gradually increases. This is a much better system as grinding comes easier knowing the chances are getting better as you go. Currently after you draft your reset card your only guarantee is in another couple thousand games you're guaranteed another and every thing in between feels mundane and repetitive.

Since the update, I feel my picking has gone down. I have not drawn one card above a rare, in about 750 games, maybe that's normal and I was just lucky before, I don't know, still having fun though, want to get up to the big guns level some day lol.

Re: Draft pick rates too low?

Just played in the Epic tier (no +) for the whole RC.
Noticed that I got an Epic for around every 1000 game. I guess the "counter" is around there.

This week, I was playing in Leg + for around 1300 to 1400 games without any Leg. I really need a Leg to push me to Leg season today. So, I push myself to Leg ++ and right away get the Leg that board as "expected"

1. Leg + reset is more than 1300 games
2. Leg ++ is less than like 1400 games
3. Changing tiers will keep your counter

If you can play leg++ I'd be silly to move down even for easier wins. The ++ tiers give much quicker resets.

Re: Draft pick rates too low?

I have a question then. i'm like a sliver away from going UR++ into Epic. I've had probably 400-500 games since my last UR and LOTS of board clears (i've pulled many back to back resets). I can push myself into epic by maxing out a few of my UR Pros but I know that means i'll get a guaranteed epic, which'll reset my counter despite the 400-500 investment i've put in so far. Should i just stay in UR++ until i pull another UR before I go up into Epic?

Yes, stay in your tier until you draft your tier card and reset the counter. Otherwise, you risk reseting the counter before you are rewarded. I never make major lineup changes until I reset my counter. This was explained in the maintenance update thread by a dev representative on these forums.

i think it's best that you go to Epic tier ASAP. you'll be closer in getting your reset Epic card with all your investment games you've put up in UR. im not talking about your Epic freebie, i'm talking about your guarantied Epic reset card.

if you wait for your UR reset card in UR++, your counter will go back to 0 once you've moved up into Epic. if you go up now, you'll have 500 games under your counter.

ive played over 2000 games in Epic and Epic +, no Epic cards , so i would wish the counter was at about 1000 games, maybe the reward cards from RC reset the counter but that should be so wrong

2000 games is, assuming 100% win rate, 4000 draft picks.

Assuming that you picked the reset card every 25th draft pick (the last draft pick), then you have cleared 160 boards *at minimum*.

Recently someone in the big thread (VizzieVX or something) got his E+ card at 126 board clears. Since I have already assumed you always picked the reset card last (pick 25 on the board), I don't really have to correct for assuming a 100% win rate.

So, that would suggest that the reset counter is actually higher than 160, and that vizzieVX at 126 just got lucky.

Right?

Don't know how long I am in Epic+ now, but I drew my first overall Epic card at 6360 games played. What was it? A support card.
