Reminds me of that Australian law that was proposed to make anything with a relation to casino games Restricted 18 but merely mature for exploitative slot machine loot box mechanics.
I haven't seen Loot Boxes in a game in awhile, I kinda prefer those to FOMO...
I think the perfect system is you earn Loot Boxes by playing that can contain anything, but you can buy the specific things you want at any time, the boxes themselves are unlocked through gameplay.
Heroes of the Storm did this, and god I miss that game.
HOTS 2.0 did so much good, man. It's a shame the game's basically dead. Was a lot of fun to play with my brother
I realised that what brought me back to League was Wild Rift. Maybe of HOTS had a "mobile" adaptation, I'd come back. Just not much (if at all) a PC gamer nowadays
There were rumors Microsoft were going to revive it, which lead to people playing the game, which lead to it getting balance patches again... but no new content drops sadly
