Pros and Cons of the balloon system

Pros

You have a CHANCE to get it for cheap that maxes out at 10% on the second to last pull

Cons

Forced to buy the emojis with the skin
Not able to buy the skin alone for 1400/2000 depending on rarity
Not able to gift to friends
Extra short lifetime
Predatory on children and potential addicts
Preys on the sunk cost falacy
Misleading odds (goes from like 1%-10% over the five balloons i believe)

If i missed anything on either side lmk and ill try to update the post

No, deadpool should not keep his upgrades when swapping from Attack/Defence

I have seen multiple people saying this and id like to point out how its a really dumb idea

The whole point of deadpool is that he is (in general) a strong hero that has to work towards that by upgrading, he is balanced by the fact he has to work to the level a lot of other heroes are at

Keeping your updgrades between rounds (which are designed to be 2 games back to back, not one long one) would break that balance

Also, everyone loses what they “grinded” for that round in ult charge, so it would be unfair for deadpool to keep his upgrades

Imagine whoever your personal least favorite hero is just kept their ult when the round swaps, thatd be unfair as hell. That applies to deadpool too

TLDR, Attack/Defence on comp is two games of who can get furthest that are meant to be equal, itd be dumb if you had an advantage on deadpool second round

I dont think gambit is S Tier anymore (atleast if your not in the top 1%)

I wanna say before i get 20 comments about how im bronze or whatever im a Gm console player. I know im far from the best but as a flex player and an avid enjoyer of the game i belive i understand it a fair bit

The thing with current gambit is that he has a bunch of options, but the impact is only amplified with how good your team as a whole is

His antiheal is one of the main things his neutral is centered on, but its only good if your team can capitalize on it

His cleanse is good and is easier to get plain value on it if theres a Groot/Angela but you will only use it in about 10-20% of games so it isnt as important

His bridge boost is good for amplifying the heals of your other support but doesnt do that much for gambit on his own due to his lower healing numbers

No one rlly cares about the other damage card, it does some damage but anti is almost always better

Then of course is the ult, where in low elo and even mid elo (including where i am) gambit ult is not as destructive as it used to be, just like everything else its only good if your team is

While aspects of gambit like his survivability arent reliant on his team, he is only so oppresive in the highest ranks and when there is good comms because of how he functions

TLDR: Imo Gambits not broken on his own, his playmaking has been nerfed to the point where he is only good due to being an enabler

Why is the community against having any “Meta” tanks

Like the second a tank not named magneto is good its nerf nerf nerf but so many dps and supports have been good for so long with very few impactful nerfs. If it was the same for all roles id get it but why are we getting punished for thinking about being impactful

TOBA should not be limited to certain heroes, we should advocate for anyone who is bugged, low tier, or missing skins

With heroes like Hulk, Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Peni who are more controversial, i think the way we do things has to change

TOBA should be about advocating for those who suck in any aspect, no matter if they succeed in another area

Yeah iron man has a lot of skins but he deserves to be better meta wise

Hulk deserves skins, same as hawkeye

Peni deserves to not be horribly bugged

All heroes should have an advocate when they arent getting the love they deserve, and that should be us
