Are you kidding me? It’s gonna take me more than half a year to buy a legendary skin at these prices. Even games like Fortnite have this grind be fair, taking about a month or so if you did the challenges and stuff to get the currency needed. But this is ridiculous.
If you’re gonna want people to buy the old skins, charging $20 for them or 7-8 months of weekly challenges just ain’t it chief. Its not only a lose-lose for you, but also a lose-lose to the players. No other game has a grind like this, seriously.

For real the pricing department really dropped the ball on this one. I like the gameplay but Jesus Christ this game’s monetization model is worse than ALOT of mobile games I know.

Now they just have to paywall ultimate abilities and it’ll be just like that mobile trash pile

$1 everytime you want to use your E ability. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they did that.

Can’t wait to support the good devs that left this greedy garbage company in their other endeavors

the prices arnt the issue, they followed a set standard other games use.
the issue is how little of that currency you generate on your own (and that the BP doesnt give currency if you complete it like most of the best BPs do)

I would argue that 20$ for a skin that was new 6 years ago is for SURE a pricing issue.

i think 20$ for a skin is insane regardless but this is a standard practice.
some games charge as high as 30 to 40$ per skin so we arnt getting past this.
but regardless if its 19$ for a skin you should be able too farm atleast 1 skin during a given event if they were to continue the events (if not more, id go atleast 2-3) and push out themed skins that way.

If you pay 120 bucks a year, you’ll have more than enough to buy all the battle passes + any bundles for your main.
That’s 2 triple A titles LOL that is ABSURD and anyone that thinks that’s okay is either braindead or rich or both

How many AAA games gives you 1000 hours a year of entertainment?

More like 50 unless you waste all your time to get 20 teamkills for the last 10.

And 1000 hours a year implies it’s the only game people play (and with the grind requirements it very well might be). You can defend it all you want but you’re on the minority here. Go waste cash if you want

this is debatable.
best i can tell the current BP is 2 months long, so if we assume there will always be a bp every 2 months at a cost of 10$ thats 60$ just on that.
then 20$ per skin means id be able to buy a total of 3 skins a year.
we have no idea if they intend on using the old ow1 events to push out holiday themed skins anymore, but if they did you could potentially find yourself unable too get the new skins for main(s) across a year for anything less then 200-300$
which is an atrocious amount of money to expect someone too pay when you dont even let them properly grind for them in game.
ppl are usually only ok with high costs of skins when they can be earned at a fair pace in game.
most of the major games that have similar systems make it alot easier for a player to get a skin of there choosing from simply playing.

The scummy system is proven or they wouldn’t use it. People are going to pay the prices they’ve set for pointless cosmetics and a low reward free route is part of that. They’re counting on you getting FOMO and paying real money.

Exactly this. If it was way more reasonable to grind it out then the high prices wouldn’t matter.
30 coins are easy to get without too much issue. Getting the other 30 is tedious and makes you play stuff you don’t want to.
