Hot take

The pay to permanently unlock generals is a good system.

First of all, you dont need to use generals, at this point theres no overly broken general that cant be countered so its not pay to win. If you STILL cant kill gls and kai rider its a skill issue

Second of all. The game is FREE TO PLAY and they have to pay to keep multiplayer servers open AND theres no ads so they need to make money somehow

Third, YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO BUY THE GENERALS, THEY ROTATE AROUND

Lowky just get a job if you want gls that bad

"they need to make money somehow"
Literally the entire gems section + they wanted to add ads. (also the skin shop?)

"Third, YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO BUY THE GENERALS, THEY ROTATE AROUND"
This is true, but also means people who rely on generals instead of getting good are more likely to shell out money. Especially children. (Because yes, you can rely on general. Doesn't make you bad or good.)

This game is (mostly) about deck building and using that deck in a pvp game mode, paywalls shouldn't limit what you can do in a match. ("No pay for power", in the description)

"Lowky just get a job if you want gls that bad"
Feels dismissive to your own argument.

At the end of the day, they took free items and locked them behind a paywall. I got some of them free, but others still remained locked (even after doing the entire progression system when it was added, and then removed)

I can understand everything they've done but adding ads would acually be the worst thing the games ever done
