Showerthought: Blizzard love RNG so much that they let the elise pack decide what cards they will reveal on the stream

We knew all the cards we wanted to show off prior to the stream and knew we wanted to show off the pack opening animation for Elise. Our community team suggested that we make 5 of the cards we were already going to reveal be the ones that show up in the pack. This was a cool idea and one of our designers made a few quick script changes to how the pack works so that those 5 cards were the only possible options. After they were done with the clip we just reverted the script changes so Elise is back to normal :).

I don't know the math off the top of my head, but I assume we would have had to have someone opening packs for a week straight if we wanted to see that result organically.
