70$ for a mythic skin

TROLOLOL you guys are clowns

70$ for a mythic skin + its customisations (which should just be included when you spend 50 prisms) is a fricking joke.

I really hope nobody’s stupid enough to buy them outside of the BP but I know for a fact some whales will spend that much.

imagine if they made it so you earned enough prisms for one mythic and the next battle pass you could buy two with the leftover prisms

if only blizzard was as smart as us :hamster:

Who cares? This model is way better than locking the heroes behind the BP.
You can still get your 1 Mythic per season from the premium BP if you’re not a greedy whale also.

I think the price is reasonable for what you are getting and the time commitment you are bypassing to unlock it. It isnt $80 for just a basic skin.

  1. Its a mythic with multiple customisable options and special fx and
  2. You are literally skipping the 40-60hrs of playtime to get it

If they were cheap and easy to buy there would be no reason to even doing the battle pass. If you could Just pay and get it immediately for $20-30 I would question why even bother playing through the battle pass at that point. The cost has to cover both the value of the skin but also the time investment others have taken to get it.

$80 for skins others had to pay $10 and play 40-60hrs to earn sounds rather cheap in fact tbh. Like… you are literally bypassing an entire 40-60hrs of playing. Instead of playing the game you could literally just work a job in those 40-60 hrs and easily just buy the skin with all the extra money you just earned

That has to be one of the dumbest take i’ve ever read on these forums.

You piggy banks will still buy them for that much just like you do for 40-50 dollar Blizzcon skins. You allowed this to happen.

Yes you get one with the BP but if you want to buy one outside of the BP it’s 70$.

Oh, no! Instead of season locked, they are now at a price… or just play through the BP.

I’m not judging you on what you buy…. You do you and I do me. Hey I like that poem

Don’t worry I’m judging for you.

I mean…if this system were implemented right from the start, I could go without a certain skins like Genji or Hanzo. You don´t really have to get every skin, unless you collect them.

I’mma be real, many many seasons ago I expected that any Mythic sales would be $40 for a base option and $20 per additional option “set”.
I’m not surprised I wasn’t far off.

I do wish you could get 100 Prisms with 80 being base Premium BP like live and the additional 20 being 5 per 25 levels over 100, not including 100. So +5 at 125, 150, 175, 200. It’d take a year of BP purchases and full level 200 grind to get an additional non-seasonal Mythic fully kitted, or bypass buying 1 BP to get a Mythic.
Especially if they’re going to start adding more than one per season or releasing additional options for past Mythics, I’m not saying they’re planning to or will, but that the 80 Prisms will quickly feel outdated if the seasonal demand ever exceeds it.

I don’t see what the big deal is, you can still unlock any mythic without paying $70, if idiots want to waste that much then let them

Because “idiots” and people defending this sort of thing keep horrible monetization as the standard. And then it gets worse, and worse, and worse.

That’s the issue.

That’s what everyone said when microtransactions first appeared for 1 or 2 dollars, look where that got us, to 80 dollars megatransactions.
