Where:
Explanation: The higher the EV, the better value the pack offers. An EV > 1 means the potential rewards outweigh the cost.
Details: Calculating pack EV helps players make informed purchasing decisions and maximize their in-game resources.
Tips: Enter comma-separated shard values (based on your valuation) and the pack cost in USD. All values must be > 0.
Q1: How do I determine shard values?
A: Value shards based on their rarity and your needs (e.g., Ancient Shard = 100, Void Shard = 300, Sacred Shard = 500).
Q2: What's a good EV score?
A: Generally, EV > 1 is good, EV > 1.5 is excellent, and EV < 0.8 is poor value.
Q3: Should I consider champion probabilities?
A: For more accuracy, you could weight shard values by their probability of pulling top-tier champions.
Q4: How do I value different shard types?
A: Void and Sacred shards typically have higher value due to better drop rates and exclusive champions.
Q5: Does this account for bonus shards?
A: No, you should include bonus shards in your shard values calculation.
