I hesistated in buying the Perks because the 2 hero selection was still fun and I learned to gut out wins with lesser heros like Lich Bazhial, Illidian Stormrage and such. I also considering waiting until I accumulated 2500 gold, but that would probably be weeks away.
I'm in the 7K MMR range and tend to fairly often see opponents I have faced before and most of these guys have the pass.
So ironically, yeah the 4 heros thing matters quite a bit ...
But ironically, what really seems to matter the most is being able to emote back to these various rivals.
Like giving each other the "thumbs up" when we are the only 2 left as in "Good luck!"
I have been largely free to play in Hearthstone, but Standard no longer interests me and these last 2 expansions have diverged a bit much for my tastes from the Witchwood/Boomsday/KOFT/Kobolds era.
I am happy they made Battlegrounds, and I imagine when August comes I'll have 2500 gold saved up to buy the "pass" with gold next time.
The "pass" comes with 4 arena passes --- I wonder if they will ever get used. Back when I was serious about earning dust/gold, I would have been all over that for the dust/gold potential, but I never much enjoyed the Arena game play.
I don't have the perks but I haven't noticed the game getting harder for me around the 5500. If anything I am doing a little bit better lately and I am closer to 6000. I think having only two options and getting to play a lot more heroes this way also has its upside: It makes the game a bit less boring (I was tired of always playing Millhouse and Nozdormu) and I have the feeling it has improved my game somewhat
When the expansion came out, I quit BG, I’m at 8.5k and it’s impossible with 2 heroes, I had around 1900 gold so I just waited like a week to get to 2500.
At list with 4 free arenas I might get 2500 in time next time.
Prett sure if you are good enough you could actually maintain a 10k rating without the pass. Kripp maintains his 10k rating and he forces bad builds sometimes and doesn't just auto-pick the strongest heroes.

I also still have my arena ticket. I don't like arena either. I am playing standard and battlegrounds though .
I am at 7000 too. Very tough competition at that bracket. I easily lose 500 one day just to gain it back but I cant seem to climb beyond 7000.

Can't you just draft the decks and then give up on the runs to get 4 packs?
Don't let your memes be dreams.
