    Pay to win is only an applicable accusation if you have to pay in order to win, that’s what the term is supposed to mean. Getting a few new 7*s for exorbitant prices is not a requirement for beating anything in this game. MCOC has long since progressed past the point where having one specific champ is a requirement for clearing content. Herc isn’t necessary to clear anything, nor is any other god tier, and even the nastiest roadblocks in different stages of the game like 6.2.2 Sinister or Necropolis can be done ftp with multiple different options. The only place this accusation begins to hold water in is the highest placements of bgs and war, and that’s unfortunately kinda necessary by definition; spending has to give an advantage to be worth it, and in the battle for number one every advantage matters. Even then, the big advantage of spending isn’t spenders getting some new 7* champs, it’s having the massive pool of resources to have every meta champ maxed out. That’s inherent to this sort of game though, and for the 99% of players who don’t care to be at the absolute top spending is not a requirement to get far.

    Then pay.

    But in all honesty, Kabam has to sell champs to earn money and it's not like Beta Ray bill was anything ground breaking,
    He's now in Titan, open and you'll get him. Also nefa is there.

    Spiral dazzler will hopefully be in December Banquet Titan reset pool, so better start saving.

    agreed..I barely have touched Beta/Morbius since I got them. I am excited for Dazzler though

    I remember when World of Warcraft came out and the idea of paying a subscription to play a game was ridiculous... Good times.

    Well, OP was on the right track. Dazzler releasing to Titan in March, per their latest post in the News section…

    This is not okay at all, having to wait till March to get a Nov champ is horrible. I think they deliberately did this to Dazzler.

    @NONYABIZZ have you seen this news.

    Not really that deep. Also the cost of these champs like jack and the count is a ridiculous amount. At that point it’s more then pay to win, but more like vip treatment for a kabam investor. I can’t imagine spending 500 on a champ that people will get a few months later.

    I just hope dazzler will be in the next titan, I'm saving titan shards for her and if she won't be in that then I won't be happy. If she's a november champion and won't be in the titan just for kabam to get more money from her then it's a cheap shot from kabam to f2p players and it would make them just look greedier than usual

    She will not be in this titan will be in the one for march rintrah will be the 6th champion in this new titan batch they already confirmed

    Correct me if i am wrong isn't Titan cycle gonna be Scream Jack Spiral Rintrah and 2 others now. They moved Dazzler (a mutant) and replaced her with Rintrah (mystic) while there is already a mystic (Spiral) in the cycle, we still don't know the other 2 champs.

    It may not be completely pay to win, but it leans more pay to receive quality pulls.

    Earned pulls tend to be more garbage than not.

    While I disagree with kabam now delaying titans to 3 MONTHS, THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY IN HELL YOU EXPECTED DAZZLER TO RELEASE IN TITAN THIS DECEMBER. I literally said this in every post I made in this thread. It would be literally the most stupid decision they ever made. The purpose of pre release was for people interested in the champion to GET the champion through money before THE GENERAL (F2P) could get them through crystals and arenas.

    Like I said before, WOULD YOU BUY DAZZLER WITH YOUR REAL MONEY WHEN YOU COULD JUST WAIT A FEW MORE DAYS TO TRY AND GET HER FROM A TITAN???
    Short answer no.

    Dazzler is supposed to bring in revenue for both herself and isophyne(assuming iso doesn't have pre releases) and kabam is counting on it hence why they're capitalizing on her hype. Having her pass be 3mnth makes it possible to attract as much players as possible within that time who may not have initially purchased the battle pass.

    Also I don't know what your point about a nov champion getting access to F2P a few months later is, it's literally the same thing as 6* featured crystals. Dust was locked out of her set because she got released after ironheart so WE WAITED 3 MONTHS FOR HER in the 6* featured rotation. Same happened with kindred and WE'RE LITERALLY ALSO WAITING ON ENCHANTRESS who was released in AUGUST but is about to enter the 6* featured pool in DECEMBER.

    Point is, no one really cares about the 6* featured pool anymore (end game players at least) but these Crystals were once BIG DEALS and people HAD TO WAIT 3MONTHS FOR these champions because they got unlucky that their favs missed the pool by one release. WAITING 3MONTHS FOR A NEW CHAMPION IS NOT A NEW CONCEPT.
    You only noticed it now because it happened to a champion you really wanted otherwise this thread wouldn't have gone this long.

    F2P cannot expect to get the same treatment as people who spend, you can't always expect to get the champions at the same time as people willing to spend REAL money on in game materials. There will and SHOULD always be spenders advantage. This is the only way to keep your "F2P" game "F2P".
