Slowly becoming pay to win

Title says it all. Some of the new premade builds coming out are just too good. Jean Spectre Sniper anyone? What a joke. They are slowly making this a pay to win in WOC but are doing it very sneak...

So if they’re not able to play previous season passes then they do have to PAY to acquire certain builds. Someone can’t pay to skip a “grind” if that person is unable to “grind” it because it’s locked/expired (whatever).

Also by definition paying to bypass “skip” grinds, cooldowns, or unlock content is one aspect of P2W.

Furthermore, if someone is able to purchase something immediately after buying the game that it took someone else a few hours, days a week (whatever) to get for free that is still a defined aspect of P2W.

If something doesn’t fit your narrative/ideology you’ll manipulate any discussion regardless of FACTS to fit your narrative/ideology. It really is pointless trying to have any discussion with you. You cannot become convinced regardless because you only believe what you want to believe.

I get the terminology of P2W. The reality is that you're not suddenly an invincible beast on the ice and you're winning every game. Again, these builds only enhance what is already there. We all still win/lose against the same players/teams regardless of the build they're using.

This goes both ways. I have seen things I've said here get twisted to fit someone's narrative so many times over the years. Look, we don't all see eye to eye on this. That's fine. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Some will believe these builds are unfair, others won't. So, let's discuss just what the issue is. Why do you think these builds shouldn't exist? How are they affecting the outcome of your games? Is that suddenly drastically different than before they were available?
