literally nobody would be complaining if it were just a bundle with 25 packs and a free legendary. but since blizzard added a new, exclusive portrait to the already good value bundle, everyone is pissed off. that makes sense, i think.
I would like there to be more customization with each new portrait with different borders, different artwork in each hero power but obviously related to what each hero does (mage deal 1 damage, etc.) and different easter eggs for each hero. But I see it impossible that it will come true one day.
I get that the Uther skin is lazy and people hate it, but isn't this still a good value for packs? Plus a guaranteed legendary.
Like, back when they released Aranna, I wasn't really that into DH, but I did enjoy the packs you got in that bundle.
Granted, Aranna was a completely fleshed out new hero with effects and emotes... so it does make this one feel lazier by comparison.
It is generally in line with previous bundles, I'd say on the lower end as far as deals go since the hero skin is disappointing but this is ultimately going to be subjective and depend on how highly you value Uther's *SPOOKYINESS*.
The Aranna bundle did have the same price per pack for a current expansion, but as you say, it had a much better hero skin (yet no bonus legendary).
To compare further, recent bundles were Felosophy which was 20 packs but from the previous two expansions with two scholomance legendaries for 20$ and the Mega Wild bundle was 56 packs for 35$ from wild sets without a bonus aside from the discounted price per pack.
The price and perks of these bundles aren't as good as the expansion preorders but still obviously better than buying packs from the blizzard store (never use the blizzard store).
All and all, it is a pretty 'meh' offering.
Agreed, I’ll take it just for the packs and legendary, unlikely to use the skin, just a cherry on top
25 dollars for a picture...jesus christ that is EA tier greed
The 25 packs and legendary are free with the portrait then..? Good deal.
F2P we don’t care what you deem as worthy of buying. Don’t buy it nobody here GAF what you think about anything. Go buy a bag of pot from your dealer or another donut for your diet...we don’t GAF. We all know you want the hero skin but you can’t afford it. We don’t GAF all we do is LAUGH. Btw.. I bought 25 packs which included a hero skin and another free legendary. I paid ZERO for this bundle after Amazon gave me $30.00 worth of free Amazon coins for doing nothing. Tell us all how you just hate blizzard and how much of a ripoff the game you waste hours of your life playing is such a money grab. Thanks for the free regular epic and golden epic of the just nerfed Druid GA card and another legendary on top of the free legendary makes 2800 free dust for me and 7 more golden cards for my complete collection and a new cool looking hero skin. Not bad for free. Tell me how much of a waste that was..... now time to spam emotes with my solid gold paladin odd deck in wild with my new cool looking hero skin. I can’t wait to laugh when they do update the voice lines in a future patch .......oh too bad you won’t have the skin when they do but who cares ....hahaha..
Wow, I totally thought you were for real up until the "when they do update the voice lines in a future patch" part. Almost got me, haha.

look who's laughing now. this man's a visionary.
A new hero with no new voicelines, borders, animations, hero interactions is just like another "Battlegrounds" hero, a trimmed image from an wallpaper.
If you like to collect everything I understand you buying all the crap they throw at us, but don't tell me this is worth buying.
damn. Really? no new voicelines? what a cash grab blizzard. lol
The hero skin is just a portrait. Do not waste your money people
Why blizzard can't add only skin to buy without bundle? like sylvanas some time ago there was only skin for like 10 euro if im not wrong
Picked up the bundle, didn't need it for card/dust but wanted a new *SPOOKY* paladin hero. It sadly doesn't have new voice lines or a custom border but there is a reverb effect that sounds *SPOOKY* when he emotes.
The completionist in me is satisfied with how my packs turned out: 6 epics, including 2 golden, and the last two legendaries I needed to 100% the set. (Ace Hunter Keem and Infiltrator Liliana).
Good luck to all on your openings! Kind of a 'meh' bundle overall so I will be surprised if a lot of people pick it up.
I am hanging on to find this out as well. I like the idea but for me personally I'd buy one or both for the portraits really, they do look cool but I'm not wanting to buy the uther one if it doesn't have any different voice lines. Same with the hunter bundle really although I may just get that one because I like how it looks regardless.
Not everyone pre orders, these are much cheaper than the pre order bundles. Other people may want the skins, with the packs as a bonus.
This is why I assume you don't run a company though, you're looking at this from a purely selfish perspective. They have a range of people to cater to, not every purchase will be suitable for every person.
This is really basic common sense, surely? Do you walk round a supermarket and get annoyed at everything they have that you don't want? Some people, honestly.....
Those 25 pack bundles are really strange.
I usually pre-purchase packs, in result I have all common and rare cards, and some epics and legendaries - what do I gain from these 25 packs?
At best two legendaries - but knowing my luck those will be trash.
Some dust and maybe some epics, but then again, knowing my luck it will be trash.
AND if someone is lucky and has gotten best legendaries and epics from his pre-purchase - why would he be interested in buying these packs if he has already best collection?
As soon as you pass certain threshold of packs, value of the rest drops imensilly.
I might be a niche audience. But I think its perfect for me.
I’ve returned a couple of weeks ago and have very little of a standard collection. So I’m looking for ways to expand my collection, and this is a good way for me.
It is for the suckers like me that do nto want to miss on a skin... the packs are a nice bonus. also i am at 920 wins with paladin and the 1000 wins portrait is crap.
