Legendary Banners decreasing color of Focus Characters...

I'm starting to feel seriously cheated with this game. I've been recording my pulls the past few legendary banners & noticed a trend. Although you have an 8% chance of pulling that legendary, it's all based on you opening a pack that actually has that color in it.

With over 140 orbs, 3 separate times now, I averaged 4-6 green options TOTAL in those runs. Never have I opened more a pack with more than 1 green spot, and there are stretches where I'll open 4 or more packs before even seeing one. This is consistent with what I noticed 2 legendary banners ago, and it's looking less like bad RNG & more like an intentional scale back to lessen your odds.

I have 2 other friends who spend money on this game, and we've been tracking this together. All of them noticed the same thing. I'd rather they just keep the odds at 3% like a regular Focus, and keep the odds of opening all colors perfectly even rather than making it a hassle just to open a pack with said color...Forget even opening the Focus character, I just want the Focus color! Anyone else seeing this?

This is due to the fact that there are less green heroes in relation to the other colors. This does indeed make green orbs the rarest BUT it makes them the best to pull from bec all the 5* are really good AND you have an increased chance to pull a 5* compared to other colors. So....in the long run it evens out.

This....is all very well documented and people in reddit have used probability to calculate this

It still feels like more than that. This is a regular occurrence regardless of what color the focus character is for the Legendary banner. It might add to the problem this particular banner, but whether it's Red, Blue or Colorless, as long as it's a Legendary Banner, that color pops up FAR less in packs.

I just spent another $40 to record my session, and I opened 2 Green the entire time. Granted I got yet another Ike in one of those, but holy s*** I'm almost 100% positive at this point that the only reason we get 8% starting Focus rate is because the chance on even getting those colors is cut in half.

They could make 4 banners with one legendary for each color and gamble with color sharing there but where's the fun and salt in that? xD But yes the probability of a color appearing is rolled first so greens will be the rarest but the quality will be the best among the colors. Still, the mythical 5-green session does happen occasionally.

I spent about 100 orbs on this banner and found 5 green orbs in total, the last 2 contained Brave Ike. It's usual for green to be rare but when green is what you really want and risk losing a pity rate when there aren't any is very annoying. I find the only time greens are common is when I don't want them. This game can see into your mind and will do it's best to thwart you.

The green pool is the least saturated, so It is intentionally less likely to show up. It does suck because green is also one of the most powerful colors, but that’s the nature of gacha.
