So let’s see
Twitch drops this season have been an OW1 recolor and 2 lootboxes (1 epic)
We were under the impression that they’d start giving lootboxes out for events and such now that the weekly bonus ones were gone but it really hasn’t been that much other than the legendary one for the stadium event which is clearly a one off type of thing to go get people to play the big new mode
They added epic lootboxes I guess. 4 of them guarantees a legendary skin but to get that many this season requires you to play around 35 games of a specific gamemode, find a group to play stadium with, do some other challenges in stadium, and watch twitch drops. Yeah that’s just a pathetic amount of grinding
lootboxes in general are becoming more worthless as they add in more recolors. Over half of the legendaries I got this season have been recolors it’s just a useless reward at that point
They also have a new habit of using recolors to normal bundles to make them a worse value while retaining the big “discount”.
Then the dokiwatch battlepass only had one dokiwatch skin in it
Then we got our first $100 bundle today with the SF collab. In the past when they did super expensive bundles they’d at least put coins themselves on sale, but not the case here. They made some cheaper versions of the bundle but very intentionally partitioned them according to hero types such that if you wanted 2 skins they’d very likely be in separate bundles. Then the individual bundles are up to 2800, that’s almost $10 extra just for emotes and highlight intros, this stuff used to be a $4 add-on at most. These SF skins didn’t even bother to put effort into cool special effects like other collab skins either
They addded 17 event skins in the past 2 seasons yet the best unlockable item from any of the collabs has been a weapon charm. Not even an emote
Yup, they have positive reception for two seasons and marvel rivals falls off and suddenly we’re back to old habits worse than ever
