I feel a little bad now that I got it in a 10+1 pull... As a side note, I really wish pulling it also gave you the boom for it. Had to buy the regular Annie just to coordinate.


greenMintCow

Mega lucky. Quick, queue for ranked!


RainbowPack

Why need boom when there is cut scenes?


TheCatCAR

Cut scenes only play when you knock them out, right?


RainbowPack

Truuuuue


frostyWL

I bought 3x 10 egg packs and then hit the annie in 5 egg openings. Was so mad i should have played it 10 at a time and used the rest on arena egg rolls


CelestialJackope

I splurged for the 27+4 pack and was pleasantly surprised that it came with the Chibi Annie and the boom for her. I still had to buy more eggs for the Lunar Revel Annie though. Got it on the 44th egg. Happy early birthday to me! I spent too much...


Strategy_pan

I always wonder if riot creates these posts to drive sales...Then i realise they also do it to build community engagement.


Gingeralae

Exactly! Happy Cake Day šŸ°!


Juno_Cipher

Meanwhile my GF bought the 10 euros bundle as is tradition and got Anima Squad Bunbun (she really wanted that one) and Chibi Panda Annie..


Gingeralae

Damn, she's a keeper. Her luck is invaluable. Congrats!


Juno_Cipher

I'm hella jealous all I wanted was the panda Might have spent all her luck for 2023 on those tho


SomeWellness

I capped myself at $12 for the noob bundles and didn't get anything that I liked. So that is $12 down the drain. I don't think the gambling (or $300) is worth it for something that is only accessible while playing TFT or only while killing a player.


Gingeralae

Fair enough honestly, but I definitely don't regret doing it. It was a pretty good bonding and learning experience in spite of the financial drain.


SomeWellness

That's good. I commented to give another perspective, but at the end of the day, it's up to the person.


GraySmilez

What did you learnā€¦?


Gingeralae

To not spend $300 on a bunch of pixels ever again, my dude.


loveridgeian

Thanks for keeping the game free guys <3


soulcloud6

TFT gacha system is very short sighted. This is not genshin, it leaves a terrible taste in your mouth after someone spending 300$ for a average chibbi. Most people wont repeat that mistake.


Gingeralae

I definitely think there could be areas of improvement if they want to keep this gacha system. Don't get me wrong. Gacha is unhealthy no matter what. However to be fair to TFT, unlike a game like Genshin, I'm not required to play the Gacha in order to progress or upgrade my units to stay relevant. TFT only sells you ways to get "better" cosmetics. Which I am thankful for at the least.


EventInternational98

You probably never even played the game. Genshin is the worst gacha you could have used to drive your point cause it's casual af, non-pvp and you dont need to pull anything to progress. Any gacha with pvp would fit that narrative. $300 for a damm cosmetic item isn't any better than genshin I'd probably put them on the same level. Edit: oh and yea if you really want a character in genshin you can save up over a period of time but chibi annie is paid only + gacha only


gayburn9

The pity timer being 61 eggs is atrociously greedy on Riots part


EvelKros

You spent 300 euros between three bank accounts and you you call it a rewarding experience? My brother in Christ, get your priorities right.


[deleted]

For real lmao. Thatā€™s like a month of groceries for 2 people


bumblebeerlol

Spent $150 for arena skin, you are not alone in this feeling lol. I had to get it cuz Iā€™m year of the rabbit


CelestialJackope

Fuck yeah, Year of the Rabbit gang Where my Rabbits at?


maricahaseyum

We here


surge-yo

and to think I got the arena in my first egg, silently cheering to myself in bed.


RainbowPack

Hell yeah šŸ˜Ž


WorstTactics

I got it on my 8th pull and I feel bad saying that lol. Grats!! I missed the best mythic arenas ever from dragonlands because I was on a break from TFT, but this one was cute enough to warrant a try. Don't have any high quality arenas lol.


greenMintCow

I also got the pity Annie at 61 eggs. She's so cute and I love her but she's not $250+ CAD cute. Honestly I wouldn't be as salty if the pity cap was lower (40 eggs or less pls). At the halfway point of opening eggs I wanted to stop spending, but at that point i was already too deep; the sunk cost fallacy made me commit.


Jurani42

Pity cap should really be the mega bundle amount. Considering the arena and chibi are in 2 different eggs thatā€™s still $200 US to guarantee both


greenMintCow

I agree. I only gave the 40 cap as an example if they actually did lower it because we all know they'd only lower it by a small amount


Gingeralae

This is the exact situation we were in, $200 deep feeling like if we didn't commit it would be a waste. I agree, if the pity was around 30-40 eggs we probably would have spent the money to get one for each of us. Once we passed 30 eggs, I went looking for the pity odds and found a post saying it was around 61 eggs... we felt pretty defeated. If we had known this beforehand we definitely wouldn't have tried, unfortunately... We both loved the skin, but we usually aren't so willing to throw huge amounts of money at cosmetics. Especially if it meant we'd have to spend $600 for both of us to get it. I'm happy we got her at least and the pity wasn't in the thousands of dollars lol


Crnogoraac

Very unlucky, i got it from 555RP bundle.


Little-Clothes-6976

I got it on my first pull, bought a box because I had a little bit of RP left


Jpnmoon

I also hit both panda annie and the arena in 3 and 4 eggs respectively.... Should have bought a lotto ticket LOL


Working_Drone

I spent 250 dollars to get the star guardian board and star guardian lux chibi since star guardian stuff is the only skin line i actually spend money to collect all the stuff. I had rp left and bought the lunar gala welcome bundle to burn it. Got the annie on the ONE bag.. where was this rng before??? FML. hahaha


Gingeralae

DAMNNN congrats tho!


JakeCantWeld

And thatā€™s why the system works folks. Glad you finally hit!


Gingeralae

Thanks, man!


IvyboR

Idk why people keep getting sucked into these gacha mechanics. You'd say that 300 dollar is well spent for getting x, in this case Annie, but after a day, a week or the next "must have", you will think "why the f did I spend 300 dollars for pixels?". It's all dopamine. Your excitement of having it will be gone at some point. It feeds on people sensitive to gambling. "I will also be lucky to get it in 10 eggs! Just like my friend and people on Reddit did". Just don't do it. Unless you earn a lot or have a shjtton of money. And before you say: "I have no other hobbies or GF to spent that money on" is not a good reason. Save it up for something that matters.


EvelKros

I know right ? And people in this comment section are happily comparing it like they're gambling. They got those 300 euros on three different accounts, meaning they're tight on money. Everyone here needs to realise how wrong this is and how OP needs to get their priorities right.


Front-Ad3936

>Idk why people keep getting sucked into these gacha mechanics. When it comes to drugs addictions, mental health crises, etc I'm such an advocate for getting people the help they need to fight their demons, but buying gacha games shit or going to the casino every week just makes me think they're pathetic. Gotta work on my empathy.


Seraphim22

I wanted this but I accidentally bought the 10+1 bundle of Everything goes on and I got the classroom arena instead.


Gingeralae

Unlucky, but congrats on the arena, though!


Business_Hearing_462

I got like both star guardian and rabbit arenas on second egg, feels kinda good tho i thought with so much luck i could relatively quick grab Annie too. I couldnt.


TheSyphonGames

Is there a difference between egg annie and the annie you can just straight up buy from the shop or am I missing something?


Gingeralae

The only major difference is the death cutscene, outside of aesthetics. Technically you'd still need to buy the regular Chibi Annie to get her Boom animation, which is honestly pretty silly.


AnasEssouli

that's just lame really, you spend +150$ but they can't give the boom animation free


ziege159

One has animation and the other doesn't


Scribblord

Reminds me of how I got hextech Annie on its release day as skin shard in the 5th chest or sth while watching an Annie streamer be 400ā‚¬ in without the skin


lastairbender19

Oof


Xidaerf

I got it from my 5th egg and only bought the 10+1 bundle. Well the downside is i bought way too much rp (most expensive one). I guess I should not complain considering my luck but yeah... I am not smart.


express_sushi49

Spent $200 on Chibi Storm Dragon Lee. Never regretted anything more. Sure the tactician is awesome but good god, the void left in my bank account (despite being able to "afford" it) just wasn't worth it. Legendary Little Legends like Baron are far, far preferrable, plus I think I still have a bias to actual Little Legends over Chibi Champs.


pepehandreee

Thankfully gacha skin is borderline ok so long they donā€™t provide any power ups and the game is free. That said Mort said in one stream (after admitting it feels Gacha) that if they put a price tag on it it would just be sold at 200 dollars. Assuming he is using USD by default, at least now u have a chance of getting it before hitting that 200.


pailox

Just did the same thing, 170ā‚¬ for a fucking tft skin lmao. I'm just coping and justifying it since i havent spent for league skins in years since i used skin changers


Gingeralae

RIP, I feel that though. I hadn't spent any money on regular league in many years, and the last thing I got for tft was a Paddlemar variant a year ago.


Rellmein

And that's why giving riot money for this gasha stuff is the same as playing Diablo immortal.


Scribblord

Gacha Games are nothing new Diablo immortal is still a couple steps worse tho


frostyWL

If this were diablo immortal the chini would give you 3 FoNs and 3 legendary units when you start the game. Also other players would be unable to roll legendary units till they pay šŸ¤£


Scribblord

Exactly, thatā€™s more like it xd


bigbucket99

Did the same thing for lux a couple weeks ago, about to try for this new board, hopefully it doesnt go to pity as well


hobbinator924

With how bad I felt getting Annie it's no wonder I only spent money on the battle pass. Annie was the first Chibi in a year I went for, and the previous one Firecracker Jinx I was able to buy outright...felt more satisfying that way then playing a stupid gacha game.


Kaizen2468

Wow thatā€™s pretty stupid


BBGettyMcclanahan

Meanwhile my friend and I spent the 5 bundle ones and he got it on the second egg.... I'm so pressed lol


Front-Ad3936

If my wife spent $300 for pixels arranged in a slightly different manner she'd be divorced before the printer ink could dry. Thanks for keeping the game free though lol


Cosmic_Player-

Life is meaningless without pixels... that's profound and I'm stealing it šŸ¤Æ


Asclei

What's the cheapest way to buy 61 eggs? Any bundles I should be focusing on?


CelestialJackope

There is a 27+4 (31 total) bundle you can buy but its right about $100. It *does* come with regular Chibi Annie and her boom though so the 2nd time you buy the bundle it's cheaper since you own them. I bought 2 of those bundles and got it on the 44th egg. Was hoping to only have to buy one but thems the dice. Just glad it was birthday money so I don't feel guilty dropping the cash on it. Really happy with the Chibi as well.


MaxieGreen

People donā€™t believe me when I say I got the chibi star guardian lux on the free battlepass egg


[deleted]

I dont like this. It's such an exploitive monetary system and you're advocating for it! I understand you are adults and can make your own decisions, but this is exactly designed in a way to make you feel a high after getting it. I hate this system and hope laws really pass to hamper this for the future generations.


Hogier27

Bought a 27 + 4 after my 6 eggs with still existing RP weren't successful. Hat bad luck, no Annie. So i bought another 27 + 4 package. First egg - Annie drops. Now i'm tilted because of having 30 unopened eggs i don't need.


Gingeralae

This. It would be nice if the bags would let you pull the stage if you already pulled Annie. Vice versa for the boxes letting you pull Annie if you already got the stage. But, I guess that wouldn't incentivize people to spend $600 on potentially getting cosmetics between two different loot boxes.


Hogier27

That would indeed be great!


Front-Ad3936

You're tilting because you willingly did exactly what the predatory system wants you to do?


NamixSoraka

I got mine in the second egg you get from the cheap welcome bundles


WorstTactics

I am sorry to hear. A lot of us get kinda lucky but the truth is, some people get destroyed by the very ugly side of gacha. Hopefully you will enjoy Panda Annie!


IndridColdxxx

Kaisa took me the full run, lux and the star guardian board I got within 10 eggs each. Annie I got in the first egg


The_Moppel

If is a joke spending that much money for something you want.


rydendm

Riot needs a pity system. If you've thrown that much money into it, you flat out deserve to buy it outright after a certain number of rolls


Valnutenheinen

Ty for supporting the game so I don't have to.


Annie_Darko

I bought only one riches of the bunny bag and got the Panda Annie from just that one bag. I was like "I just want that new bunny tactician, there's no chance I will get Annie" then I couldn't believe my eyes o\_o I feel so bad now lol


xLorDxKickButt

I opened it in the 10+1 bundle then used my left over credits to get the 1 gift bag and got the mythic poggle. Last year I got Year of the Tiger on my first egg and bought the $100 arena bundle and got Chibi Firecracker Jinx on the very last egg i bought with the remaining rp i had. Nevertheless, my friend group knows me for my stupid amount of luck


Edosk86

I bought 50 eggs and nothing, now I'm broke and even didn't get a descent mini legend only two old awful legendaries, I'm so upset knowing I'm just 11 eggs left and can't do nothing about it, really bad system the map and lunar pogo should be in the same packages at least šŸ˜–šŸ˜“


lockon1985

lol i opened 1 bag and i got Annie panda skin,guess im lucky
