Yea, that would make a lot of sense. a 100 gold premium to pick position. Shucks, i was hoping to roll a few to bolster my SP if they had sweeter %s. i've rolled 20 prime picks and got nothing higher than 4.5 stars.
If you change the animation on your Legend, the stat accumulation resets. I've reported this bug to GLU a few times already and every time they said it's on their list of to dos.
