Can't watch the video because of the cuts. I'm too old for this sh*t.
Nicholena is the only good thing in this video. I wanna take her to a fancy restaurant.
Ok so I absolutely HATE it when all the people on the forums whine about "blizzard copied X thing" when they're vaguely related or the thing they copied had flaws and blizzard 'improved' them, but guys. This is the most shameless plagiarism of legends of runeterra, or League of Legends. They literally had a freaking event that's still going on as I type this where they had "an alternate universe" where they dressed up all the female characters like sailor moon and made them "magical star guardian" girls and sold skins for premium prices to buy the outfits. IT HASN'T EVEN ENDED YET. This is so bad that I wouldn't be surprised if Riot was able to sue blizzard over this. Don't get me wrong, I love seeing all of those characters dressed like that and I look forward to the cosplays, but DAMN, that is shameless of Blizzard lol. I guarantee you that they looked at Riot's revenue from last month from all the skin purchases and are solely doing this as a result.
Ah yes, because Riot invented anime skins
it's not just that. It's the timing as well. Imagine if blizz released WoW dragonflight and then a month later, a rival company made an expansion to their MMO where they introduced a playable dragon person class and the story was about going to a mystery island full of dragons.
In this case I assume that it's just coincidence. Otherwise I would be very impressed that they managed to copy all of this in such a short amount of time.
"guys this is plagiarism because it's a copy of the star guardian skinline from league of legends! Yes the star guardian skins are in of themselves parodies of sailor moon but that doesn't count!" btw the original star guardian skins came out many MANY years ago the current event was just them introducing more to the skinline
Star Guardian skins wanna be? It would be less evident if they launch this months after the actual LOL event of the Star Guardians.
The thing about Skins in Battlegrounds is you cant buy a skin for your favourite Hero specifically,
neither can you play your favourite Hero every game to make use of that skin.
So buying skins, especially legendary skins always seemed weird to me.
Truth. And to boot they've been working on this for over a year? I... just... WOW... I'd understand if it was an obviously high number of heroes getting these skins, but I guarantee it won't be over 20.
Nothing about the paywall ?
Yuck.....
I hope they reveal the Death Knight class soon.
