Quote: Yeah I'd heard of it but tbh to remove it you'll have to remove all rng unlockable content across all games which is frankly retarded. Blizzard has a shared currency, gems, you can spend on loot or just buy whatever content you want. You aren't forced to gamble. You can also spend level up currency to reroll loot up to 3 times if you don't like it. If you get a duplicate of something you already own you instead get skin currency. This is for HoTS. Haven't played enough of OW to figure out that system. But I'd say HoTS system is pretty balanced. You never really roll a dud and you don't have to invest in boxes at all if you don't want, they just toss out free ones on occasion and you're silly if you don't want 5 items of free content. League has you do all that work for one item. Or on the rare occasion one item and a "shard" that you need 5 of to craft an exclusive skin. That's definitely pushing it into some bad gambling territory where the rest is little different than playing yahtzee. League loot boxes have exclusive skins that have been discontinued. Notably Bowser Rammus which riot had to nix in 2010 because of copyright threats from Nintendo and Medieval Twitch which was an exclusive skin one received after making 350 referrals when the game was in its infancy. Only a handful of people earned the skin. You can open 1000 boxes and not get either. But that one person on Reddit got it on their first so you have incentive to try at 5 bucks a pop. I've seen streamers throw over 1000 dollars at boxes trying to grab one of these exclusive items. Though I think recently, possibly due to the investigation, Riot removed these old referral skins from standard loot, loot you can buy, and put them in new boxes you can only get from not being a dick in game. I've gotten more of those than standard boxes so that might come to balance it out. If thry tweak it so that it doesn't have a significantly higher chance to open key fragments that I can't use because I don't have boxes to open... A loot box you open to find another loot box reminds me of my brothers Christmas presents.I think balancing and additional buying options could separate loot from gambling and put it on par with other rng elements that have been used in games since Atari. -------------------- Free time is the only time
