That doesnt change the fact that its a somewhat greedy move from Blizzard. Like I said they would make plenty money from skins etc.
At this point, I don't understand why people are still questioning the LoL model. You either agree with it or don't, there's nothing else to discuss.
I think it's clear the LoL model is a financial success and works, so I don't see what the big deal is. (The DOTA2 model is fine too, I don't have anything against it but every video game doesn't have to be the same.)
I do agree with the horse/mount comment a couple posts ago. I think it's a completely pointless & unnecessary gameplay mechanic. It's not the cost, I don't care about that... I just think the gameplay of mounts in HotS is pointless.
