Royal Pass - (Premium)

[Chocbomb]

Only buy this you're a die-hard-fan and want to support the devs.
Tip: don't lose and it will be worth it.

Reason:

You can lose progress in your Royal Pass, if you're not in the top 3 of a match you will not progress the pass and less than 4th you will lose level progress.

It is designed so that it's possible to not get all of your Premium for the season.
It's not made for fans, it's made for sweats rushing the leaderboard.

I mean, honestly, I got it this time around, due to the hype of the game. It was okay value, if the seasons lasts sufficiently long (90 days?) paying under £10 for a few season duration benefits is hardly life changing.

If you can afford to sink enough time in you'll get maximum benefit, eventually. If you don't, thats it.

Look at the leader board, there are people with thousands of games, not necessarily good players, but persistence wins out - and they know the builds, to a higher degree, than most.

You don't need to be a die hard fan to enjoy Premium pass, but you do need to have time to invest to make it worth it, I got busy for at least a month for this season, still okay with what I paid.

Fixed it.
Everyone says alot to say the same thing i said in a different way.
It needs more of your spare time than you think to make the premium battlepass worth it.

You can lose your progress in the premium battlepass by getting bad cards in the RNG system per round that will cause you to get knocked out early.

Instead of no progress with a loss, you get negative progress and the money you paid feeds the counter productivity system.
Some cultures and even young people are accustom to having things taken away from them by a governing body because of corruption, literally being manipulated by a scheme.

When you are battling the game itself to climb the battlepass that you paid for.. it changes the game from a fun entertaining thing you do in your spare time.. into a sweat lodge.

Example:
It's like how CS:GO always has alot of players.. but now we know it's because it is enabling underage kids to get involved in gambling using loopholes.
Kids as young as 10 are gambling because the game enabled a bad system.
Slippery slope that eventually will corrupt the youth.. and you wont see it until the next generation of kids are raised in it and develop their own corruption methods.

You can literally spend less than 45 minutes to an hour per day on average during a season and easily reach Overking, if you're reasonably good at the game. And if you enjoy the game you'll probably play more, get better and need less time and progress faster. If you just enjoy the game and don't care about ranks etc. it doesn't matter anyway. And if you don't like the game just stop playing. You've lost exactly $0 anyway, just the time it took to figure out the game wasn't for you.

- "You can lose your progress in the premium battlepass by getting bad cards in the RNG -

Yes, down to zero points of that level. No more. And the next match other players will get bad RNG and you good, so you get those points back.

- "Instead of no progress with a loss, you get negative progress"
Good players get rewarded and if you're not you lose a few points? THE HORROR!

- "When you are battling the game itself to climb the battlepass that you paid for..

If you know you'll feel this way, why were you beyond stupid and bought it? It's not like it's a secret as to EXACTLY this works. Also, if you give your young kids access to credit cards you should immediately book an appointment with a doctor for an MRI, because the only reason I can think of for this is that you have a tumour pressing on the "stop being a moron" part of your brain.

Not sure of your definition of "reasonably good" but hitting Overking in 45-60 hours sounds ambitious. I averaged around 3.0 and it took almost 120 hours. 4.5 is the average placement and will likely take several hundred hours. Very few people will be averaging 2.x, in order to hit Overking in less than 50 hours you probably need to average at least 2nd place, which will be the top <1% of the playerbase.

lol what are you talking about. I have 40 hours total between beta and release and I hit King in both of them. I just played 5 games in the new season and am just short of Gold. If someone has played this game for 100+ hours without reaching OK they are special needs.

I like how you worded that as-if you want people to rate you as the special needs king.

I'm not sure why your first thought is to talk about people with special needs as an insult or why you compare them to how you play the game, it kinda just seems like youre angry.

It doesn't change the original point of how you can lose points in the premium battlepass.
Buying the premium battlepass shouldn't result in negative progress where it's designed to lose points that undermines a players time spent and the people who do experience this issue shouldn't be labelled by a bigot with negative views on others with a disability.

~Oof he deleted his post.

Wildly inaccurate. You have no clue what you are talking about, likely because you have never reached overking yourself.

It takes about 125~ matches to reach overking if your average placement is 2.5ish and you use all 50 daily bonus stars. 2.5 over a sample size large enough to rank up to overking would make you one of the best players at this game.

The season lasts for 50 days. 45 minutes a day would give you time for two games or 100 total games -- which is still short of what one of the best players would need to hit overking. Do you see how ridiculous your post is now?
