This isn’t a complaint thread, I am genuinely curious. I have attempted to play a ton now. I do see the new heroes pop up in my 4 to choose from, but they are ALWAYS locked behind the pass paywall extra characters. Is there a waiting period where only the Pass holders get the new heroes? I honestly don’t care if there is, but would like to know if the RNG gods are just this cruel or if there is actually a reason this is happening…
it’s not paywalled. protoss is hard because you have to already have a strong board to last long enough to get his cards out to then become op, zerg is fun and mid, terran can be brutal early on but trail off of you don’t roll well.
I think terran is the most interactive and fun so far. Let me know what you think when you finally get the heros.
Well I get them in my selection about the rate as I’ld expect but 100% of the time they are locked. Also I’ve mainly seen Kerrigan in my selection, might have seen the others once… really seems to be off in the RNG.
I’m f2p and have played them all a couple times. You are just being punished by the rng. I’m usually punished by rolling trash cards. Which would you prefer?
i got kerrigan multiple times but never saw the opion to pick the prottos or terran ones
Took me a few days to get to play Artanis and Kerrigan so maybe? Got Jim Raynor very early tho
I play 3-4 BGs every night and I haven’t ever seen any of the new Heros as an option. Not even in the paywall slots. Think it’s been over a month now
It’s rare, because the heroes are too many.
Artanis is terrible. Straight bad design. Buying 14 cards with nothing else from the hero is bad. They’ve done this with at least 2 other heroes, but they have bigger upside or a better threshold to reach; “spend 65 gold” or “have x minions attack” is much more flexible than “buy 14 cards.”
So you get to 14 cards, and unless you have great RNG you’ll have a few turns before the protoss unit pays off. This now has you at like turn 10 with 0 impact from your hero. Then it becomes a mid mech build for a few turns, then you can finally line everything up and have an OP board, either trough mech or through having 1-2 mechs as magnetic targets.
My point being this might be the worst, slowest, and least engaging hero in the game. Every other hero that has “do x to get y reward” either has better balanced tasks, or a more game changing rewards. RNG can mean both. Protoss has nothing. Any game you do well with Protoss you probably would have done better with at least 10-15 other heroes going mech.
Really disappointing as a longtime protoss player in 2 other blizzard games.
First off. Buy tavern spells to complete artanis and youll have the reward by turn 5.
Secondly. Just because the reward is a mech deosnt necessitate making a mech board.
One of the most brutal losses i had was a Carrier from artanis on an undead board.
Another brutal loss was the “gain stats from adjacent minions” bot on a quillboar board.
The fact that Mothership isn’t a guaranteed card is pretty dumb in my opinion. IDK about everyone else, but I only choose the hero if there are beasts or undeads to get the Avenge. How insane is it that there are 5 Protoss minions, and you get to choose between 2 of them. 2 of them are worthless. 2 others are good. The last of the 5 can give you INFINITE OF THE OTHERS ONES?
