Ngl, I did see the leaks, but this was far more in depth and that's why I like your videos. Didn't get boring, if I'm being honest, I much prefer this video style to the 'talk for 3 minutes about updates, then 7 minutes of game play with a conclusion at the end' style. Much more informative and just exactly what I wanted. Thank you Merchant!

the Katar is such a greedy move. You have to purchase the main weapon, purchase the unlocks and you cannot equip/buy the one you like coz you have to purchase the previous component and not unlock the ones you like. I HOPE PEOPLE will not puchase the katar and EA would just stick to the legend heirloom that has more character and more story. That katar is just blank without character like the ones running EA. play the game, dont pay for that heirloom.

@@wil4003 So? Game is still free Explain it to me why is your way the correct way? I'm just curious. It's not your game, you didn't spend time to develop it, you don't pay employees, you don't get the hate/threats when something is wrong. You can simply play the game for free without any worries. What exactly makes you and people like you think that it's up to you to decide what price game devs ask for skins in their FREE game? You are consumer, consume or don't consume. It's simple as that. It's up to them to decide if those high prices are good for their profit and game overall. Seems enough people buy those items with absurd prices and that's that. If their profit goes lower and lower so will price on a item prob. Moaning about it 24-7 and calling entire game trash over skins is fcking idiotic.

They do two completely different things and if you really want to exit a fight with ash’s ultimate it might’ve been more useful to use it earlier on Ash’s ultimate can help push a squad or get a creative position to catch your enemies off guard while Alter’s ultimate doesn’t contribute to a team fight at all, it just offers a way out if you end up losing.

It’s unfortunate the way they’re doing their monetizing with the katar. It reminds me of valorant and how they do their “skin leveling”, and depending on how much the exotic shards are, the katar could be worse than that. Unfortunately EA is forcing respawns hand because they haven’t made their projected revenue this year.

She creates a major opening for her team into virtually any scenario yet also is completely vulnerable if the push goes south.
