Sorry you felt tricked. Marketing is marketing, they make sound great something that must be thought about by yourself, in this case a bit of probability helps:

There are 13 faction. If undead has 5x chance, the 12 others have 1x chance, and if we assume for the sake of simplification that the number of heros of a given rarity is the same in each faction, the probability to pull an undead hero is:

5 / (12+5) = 5 / 17 ~ 30%

Now if we suppose we pull n epics, the number of undead follows a binomial distribution, the probability of pulling k undeads is:

P(k) = (n k) 0.3^k 0.7^(n-k)

for (n k) the binomial coeff n! / [k! (n-k)!]

In your case you have n=3 epics, so the probability to pull exactly one undead is:

P(1) = 3 0.3 0.7^2 = 0.441 = 44%

So you had 44% of falling into "your trap", which was very likely. 

You can use the above formula to compute the odds of pulling k undead out of n tries. You can even use it to compute your chances to get legos out of sacred/blue shards during events or outside of events. The general formula for an outcome of probability p (p=0.005 to get legos out of blue shards for ex) is:

P(k) = (n k) p^k (1-p)^(n-k)

The same formula can be applied to compute the odds of your favorite multi hit champ to proc his debuff on the enemy (ex Tayrel A1 dec atk out of 2 hits, Nethril A1 poison proc out of 3 hits, etc).

No idea what your blathering on about.

I don't feel tricked.

I was tricked.

There is a huge difference.

I pulled 40 Ancient Shards.

I average 3 Epic Heroes out of 40 Ancient Shards on any given day.

On this day, The game was doing a Undead Horde Summon Event.

I am suppose to have an increased likelihood of pulling Undead Heroes.

I pulled 1 Undead Epic + 2 Non-Undead Epics

I could have done the same 1 Undead Epic + 2 Non-Undead Epics on any other given day playing this game.

There was no difference between this day vs. any other day.

Which means the Summon Event for Undead Hordes is a lie.

in all the posts you act like you are smart and you know everything about the game, and now we see here that you have no idea about anything

everyone who play this game more then 2-3 month know this x5 cant to be good and u are elder-platinum so playing more than 5 month

426 champs in-game I don't know who would be crazy to go to this event ( ahhh u are)

if you haven’t learned by now ill explain u, the best time to open shards are on x2 chance...

so can u understand x2 or nothing, everything else is a big lie

And what's more funny, this event is for void shards too, but Undead faction has no void epic and legos :D

2x Chance is very good.

I do agree with what your saying about 2x chance.

However, I really like the Undead Faction.

I don't really care about Epics from other factions.

This event was new, It has never been done before.

I was curious.

I used 40 Ancient Shards as a test to see what would happen.

I would have been fine with the event if I was able to get 2x or 3x Undead Epics like I was suppose too.

The simple fact is the event felt like a lie to me.

I got 3 Epics - only 1 was Undead.

I saw no difference between this Undead event vs. any other Summon Event.

As I explained before, I can pull 1 Undead Epic + 2 other random Epics on a normal day playing this game.

I didn't feel like the 5x Undead Chance did anything to make it seem as if I had more of a chance to pull more Undead.

So as far as I am concerned, This event was a bust.

I will not participate in it ever again.

I lost 40 Ancient Shards testing out this event, but I gained information in the process.

I can always re-buy 40 more shards from the game.

They sell packs all the time.

I am a spender.

Sometimes, it pays to test things out.

If you only care about undead champions then there is no point in you even playing this game.

On the contrary, Bad El Kazar (Undead Champion) is the only reason I even downloaded this game.

I saw an advertisement which featured Bad El Kazar in Arena fighting solo vs. 4 enemies.

Bad El Kazar was doing his Malicious & wrecking the rival team.

I thought he looked so amazing.

I downloaded the game and started playing it. lol

You see - I like Undead - Zombie - Vampire - Type characters.

So the Undead Champions in this game are the only reason I am even here playing the game.

Hello PLAYER J

I know this doesn't help much, but Grizzled Jarl is quite a great epic tbh

but yh, it would have been nice of a double chance was coupled with x5 faction chance, 

however this was the first time we ever get a faction increased chance, which is pretty cool, but we always have to remember the drop rates unfortunately, it can go wrong or right, eitherway, hopefully all goes well for ya player J
