"We learned some lessons" after the PK recolor event, but they're doing it again

@Cro_Pittt And it literally says "Lies" on the handle, Lmao!!!

In all seriousness though, not to defend a money grab, but I'd be willing to bet that this event was already locked in, well before they made that announcement about the PK, and they probably just didn't have another "top-tier" item ready to go in its place. I could very well be mistaken, but that's just how I reacted to it when I saw it. They plan all this stuff out, way ahead of time. Now, if we get another one like this down the road, then I'll be sitting there scratching my head, for sure

Personally, I don't really care though. I mean, Walmart (or any store) has TONS of items for sale, that I will never purchase and have no desire to, but I don't care about them selling that stuff. Netflix (or any streaming service) has TONS of content that I have no intention/desire to watch, but I simply don't watch it. Might seem like an odd comparison, but they're one and the same, to me. It's all goods and services, and I spend my money at my own discretion, as does everyone else. Most of the time, I just thank the devs for making it an easy choice NOT to buy, and carry on with my day. Again, just my personal view on it

    @dSKyNafinchinThe reason I care- I want the other legends in the game to get their heirlooms before releasing 2nd ones for ones that already have them. Once all legends have them, go ahead do whatever.

      @hayhorFor that specific instance, I definitely agree with you. I don't see the point in recoloring anything with heirlooms, before all Legends even have one. My previous take, was just about in-game cosmetics in general, but I forgot to specify that.

      I get that Wraith was the first heirloom and whatnot, but I still don't understand why they decided to tweak it, when other Legends still don't even have one. My best guess, is it was simply to satisfy the Wraith mains that have been complaining about the heirloom, ever since they changed to the new system where you get to choose.

        @dSKyNafinchin There's an easy answer, Wraith got a buff, time to sell another heirloom.....you think we're getting new gloves for Pathy next? lol

        Sidenote, and no clue if I just missed in it in the patchnotes, but when you 'scan' a care package as Pathy, you instantly get your ult back.
