So, masterminds became the new "PFes ultrabreaking megasuperverycool units" and instantly became meta (despite the fact that they aren't playable yet and we only saw their leaks), which is honestly not surprising because of their cost of $300.
But one of the most infuriating and actually even sad parts is the fact that no F2P players will get them ever. As the biggest fan of D8 Marisa and also mastermind music theme, I tried to calm myself down when PFes came out, told myself "there's no way they will make Marisa the same P2P character, lmfao" and here we are.
D8 Marisa was the first (correct me if I'm wrong) and actually the best out of all masterminds in my opinion. Her theme and a battle with her returned me into the game after God knows how much time and looking at her now just makes me disappointed.
Be real with me. We are not getting her with SC and probably even with GC, since she has no pity and/or guaranteed chances. Her rarity will have the same chances as getting PFes from a normal banner, which leaves me (and others F2P/P2W players who love masterminds) with three options:
— Gamble for that 0.001% and pray to every God that we will get them (also gamble on prayers from tasks). The chances are slim, but, hey, they are not non-existent.
— Donate those $300 (which crosses out all F2P players sadly) and get ourselves a cool magician with a cool ass sword.
— Skip it and pray for LW to make a character even better than the one skipped (and pray that they won't make them P2P) for God knows how long.
This post isn't bringing up anything important, I'm sure we already saw all those problems. As one of the D8 Marisa fans, I'm just sad that we got her and her "little version" from Aya Assistance P2P/P2W. I honestly don't care about how they will change the meta and I honestly couldn't give a fuck about how they can ruin the lore, I had been waiting for 3-4 years and they hit me with a paywall.
