Skin Boosters

I like those things, hope they become available for direct purchase with gold or smth.

Why should they? They are meant to give you a chance to try out a skin, not allow you to use skins you dont own every match.

Eh, they're pointless for me personally. I already have a bunch of skins, and I am content with what I have. Though, I can see them being useful for people that don't pay any money to the game. Or to try out a skin to see whether they actually like them.

I wouldn't mind if they were to give you more oppertunities to unlock those boosters. As long as they won't replace something else. I rather get a flat amount of gold than those skin boosters, since I don't find much use for them. But hey, that's just me.

I never use them. I own almost all the skins, or at least almost all the skins that are good. So I don't see a use in them other than for those that can't afford to, or don't want to spend money on this game.

I hate it when people begging for them in the champion select

You can try everything for free in PTS.

I have 1,5 million of gold that I don't have anything to spend on, and I missed getting a lot of cool limited skins because I wasn't playing for a few months.

It's the exact opposite for me, I don't find much use for gold now. I have 1.5 million of gold that I don't have anything to spend on.

Same here. Non of the gold sinks that were added to the game in the past year or two has made me spend any of my gold on them. Additional emote and spray slots? don't care about those in the slightest. You can tell that they just added it in because Overwatch did it and were successful with it.

The thing is though, the reason why a lot of people like it in Overwatch is also because of custom games. People like to play on like chill servers and mess around with their emotes and stuff. You don't have that in Paladins tho. I mean, I never tried custom games in this game before, but I assume people just play normal games there, no?

And then you have the "pay x amount of gold to boost x amount of exp for a champion of your choice." system, which is.. eh. I find it more enticing to work my way up to my gold skins, than to cheat my way towards it. I know that there are people out there that are either too lazy for that or just don't have the time for it. But unfortunately that doesn't include me.

And that is my personal problem with their current gold sinks. Non of them are working for me. They're just not enticing enough for me. So here I am, sitting on a big pile of gold, and still no use for it. I might occasianlly buy a recolor or two to get rid of them in chests to raise my chance to get some of the good stuff. But other than that? nothing.

TL;DR, you are right. There is not much use for gold right now for people like you and me. But hopefully that is going to change at some point in the future.

You mentioned another problem with what you want. How much is a booster worth if veterans have millions of gold saved up, while new players have usually just a couple thousand?
You want a booster to allow the user to try out a skin they dont own, but if older players can simply buy thousands of boosters you're losing potential income.
