[Theory] Limited summon + Pity mechanic
So I have been reading many posts on people summoning big time on limited banner but failing to obtain their exclusive pick hero. So I came up with a theory... what if... the pity mechanic triggered from the usual blue summoning pool WITHOUT the limited hero?
So let's say there is a pity mechanic coded. It might be across different banners. So the easy way out would be to code a generic pity.
So I pulled the first Diaochan copy at the guaranteed 200. Then proceeded to drop an additional 800 summons. After MISSING multiple times... I decided to just heck it and summon on the Draelin/Talin banner. I hit Elowyn. So out of sheer frustration at 198 pity, I SWITCHED to the Draelin/Talin banner.
Hit Elowyn and then came back to the exclusive pick banner to summon. And the next 10 summons...
So can the community disprove or prove this? I.e. have your hard pity summons been the limited hero? Or would it be another leggo? Would be great to find out!!
