Pack Odds and Trout

[Fuimus Troes]

I pulled Trout from a standard pack earlier today and it got me thinking about odds. I know that it's 1:50 for a diamond, but I assume that's for 85-89 players.

Does anyone know if SDS has ever published the odds for pulling high diamonds or Trout? I know the tiers are color-coded this year (purple, something, and then the aqua color I saw when I pulled Trout), so I assume that corresponds to odds.

Any confirmation on this?

On 20 I pulled Trout once.

Pulled Trout from a daily rewards pack last year and overall had pretty good pack luck. This year I call BS on those 1:50 odds for diamonds. It was almost a month into the game before I pulled a diamond this year. Pulled a total of 4 now but currently in a 2 week dry spell. Pack luck has just been brutal.

Worst pack luck ever this year. Pulled one 86 from 100+ packs.

Odds are 1 in 50 pulled out of all packs opened. With considerably more players this year it makes sense that we've all had markedly worse luck.

As for high diamonds, in the 3 years I've played I've never seen anything differentiating. I think it's a safe bet that they are definitely rarer but just how the odds shake out on those has never been said, I don't think.

They really should adjust the ratings to reflect the fact that 90+ diamonds are rarer. I’ve had good pack luck (Mookie twice, Trout, a bunch of 85-89s) but it’s clear there are two tiers. They should just admit it and do something like:
90-99 diamond
80-80 gold etc

That or keep 85-89 as diamond and repurpose the prestige red diamond from 20 for 90+.

The size of the player base doesn't change anything; it's still a 2% chance of all packs that YOU open. If they adjusted it to ensure only a certain number of cards were floating around, the odds would be even worse and SDS would be mis-branding their odds - which could be quite problematic for them.

I swore I read something a year or two ago saying it was based off all packs. Maybe not I guess.

Either way my packs suck so
