Well, their product is consistently good and I've been playing their games since the 90s so I guess it's fine.
Edit: thanks for the link, now I know just how badly my Riot addiction was over the years...

Buying 40 packs then opening garbage that you just can't use feels like a massive waste of money. That's partly why I'm more open to spend money in league/mtg. I can buy specifically what I want. I only spent money on adventures in HS for that very reason. If I was still playing I wouldn't mind $40 big adventures honestly. Most expansions have 50-70% filler cards so if you just cut those and make an adventure with the actual good cards it's pretty sweet. Isn't mtg still random booster packs or are you talking about secondary market? I'm not familiar with that business model. Also added up just Riot Point purchases that are in my inbox, about $335. Then again I did play pretty regularly for like 5+ years so I guess that's not too bad? Secondary market. I'd prefer if MTG went with a model that didn't involve booster packs but I get that's how they operate and people love their format they made for it so it's just never going to be a game I can realistically get into fully. Can't justify myself spending money on boosters and can't justify how insane prices are for individual cards. I have cards online and I'm firmly in the "reprint everything until my collection is worthless so I can play the game". It'll always be a game for me and have nothing to do with investing money. Unfortunately too many people see it the opposite way, that's their right but it makes me a little sad. Riot Points do add up. I've only spent 75 euros. Maybe it's a bit easier for me not to spend since I have to convert all the purchases by multiplying by 10-20 depending on currency lol. Actually still have 999 riot points chilling in my inventory waiting for a skin I really want. edit:Honestly I'd still be playing HS if every expansion was 40-60 dollars for complete set. I don't really see issue with that either. They'll make lots of profit. It's just due to whales and addiction they make more money abusing people. Sigh. I kind of hate whales, no offence to any of you out there. | ||

At this point I think I've made back in Blizzardbux as much as I've spent, except for maybe what I've spent on WoW subscriptions.

Oh absolutely. But idk man, just opening 50 packs feels so good, even if I don't get a lot (but with that many, you're guaranteed at least something good). Hearthstone has two fundamental problems at the moment. First, if you're a new or long-absent player getting into the game is a pretty tough climb unless you drop money. Second, now that so many deck archetypes are heavily reliant on very specific and often expensive legendaries and epics, it's incredibly difficult to determine if a given deck archetype is something you'll enjoy or not before you commit your dust. Those aren't the only issues, but most of Hearthstone's other problems are either exacerbated by them, or directly caused by them. No argument here. I've been playing a tempo/freeze elemental Shaman with Moorabi recently and it's really hilariously fun. I've got ~60% win rate right now (below rank 10, so...) over like 30-40 games. I'll post the deck link at some point. | ||

Good thing I still play I guess? | ||

Yeah, but Legacy has been so bonkers for forever that a lot of the hot Standard cards would drop in price when they rotated out. Now it just rolls into Modern and is a lot likely to drop. | ||

Having just Moorabi and Ice Breaker is too little for the synergy to really function. Sure, but if I was playing to be competitive I probably wouldn't be playing HS lol | ||
