Why ever buy alpha packs?

[Gl]

Why buy them if you don't know the loot tables? It doesn't make any sense why old skins won't be brought back like Black Ice. $50,000 US Nationals pro league what a joke.

Exactly; why buy an alpha pack if you don't know the exact odds or loot table?

Because people like to gamble?

You gain Alpha Packs for playing the game, able to get more for using renown, not credits.

Sure: They COULD tell the numbers, but why... why should they? Ubisoft does it well: no pay to win, no dlc which is locked away from those who are not able to/are not interested to pay additional money, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, etc.

If they are able to make people spend renown on alpha packs, perhaps people will start getting credits for operators or skins.

Is it customer friendly? Yes.

How? Well.... in any other game you would have no system where you earn ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥...

Well, I say that you allow people to buy any skin at any time with real money so you can develop the pro league to rival CSGO in terms of cash prizes.

And how do AlphaPacks have anything to do with cash prizes for tournaments?

I am pretty sure you don't understand the system behind this and it's fine. Just accept it and enjoy that they give you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Microtransactions

Unless something's changed recently, you can't buy alpha packs with money.

People buy them when they've run out of stuff to spend renown on I guess.

some people have every single operator and all the skins they want from the store
since they have litteraly nothing else to buy they can test their luck on alpha-pack exclusive skins like black ice

Ever wonder how Fortnite has million dollar tourneys? They can afford large prizes because they sell skins for money. Larger prize pools in pro tourneys means the game grows in popularity.
