YALL I CANT BELIEVE COPYCAT IS CANON

[sharky857]

A very generic first opinion on what OB 64 has brought upon us.

First thing first: at the first login after the patch was successfully downloaded, the game welcomed me with tons of unlocked stuff: (namely: Androxus’ recolour-skin of “Exalted” and a 7-days account booster which has come at an awkward moment, given how lately I’ve been totally focused on farming seasonal loots on Overwatch *cough*, 10 radiant chests, some bonus gold and 5 bonus crystals -probably due to the aforementioned booster).

Secondly: I had to squint to read what the cards said WITHOUT moving my mouse over them one by one.

(Please, ignore the global chat announcing a maintenance in 90 minutes)

Thirdly...

Those Legendaries...

I kind of have a mild concern now.

By taking a look at those few Legendaries I saw so far, it seems that Hi-Rez has gone in that direction where:

My only pet-peeve with the new card system is how we can no longer adjust the levels of the cards by ourselves. No, I’m not talking about “upgrades”, I’m talking about setting some “downgrades”, because some of them are so “OP” that they may do more harm than good to your own Champion.

A friend of mine told me that their card to increase the distance of “Charge” for Fernando is so “upgraded” that they accidentally charged off of Frog Isle several times, probably spoiling enemy!Torvald’s fun at that point.

For what concerns getting those cards, someone STILL needs to explain me how the heck the game “has turned into P2W” (aka: “Pay to Win”). Because all cards are available into Radiants Chests (2.500 gold). If you don’t want to take too much risk, there are the Champion Chests instead (7.500 gold).

Both chests are available by spending gold and you don’t buy gold with real money. What real money buy you are crystals, and crystals are for purchasing chests that contain only cosmetic items, which won’t affect your gamestyle at all!

Besides, and for what concerns Radiant Chests, if you use the regular key to open your chests, you will definitely increase your chances of finding duplicates of ANY kind, not just cards.

In 19 Radiants (I piled up 9 in the time between OB 63 and OB 64) I found 3-4 common sprays as duplicates, and they are 1000 gold each; this means that they alone already dropped me 3-4k gold in return.

I even found a rare emote as duplicate (360 no scope). That one gave me 2000 gold instead.

In total, and without even playing a single match, today I accidentally farmed 5-6000 gold already!

I can only imagine how much gold an epic or legendary single duplicate may drop.

This doesn’t look like a “pay to win” system to me. It looks more like a “play to win” one instead.

P.S.: OB has released and there’s no lore in sight yet (for shame, HiRez). I didn’t stick around for the “maintenance time”, so I have no way (yet) to tell if they already added it with this first hotfix, or if they’ll add it with some other hotfix later on, hopefully before the nth OB patch.
