HellMOO.

A post apocalyptic multiplayer text based game is entirely Free2play with absolutely no options to pay at all.

It has full loot PVP, if someone kills your ass, they get to take everything from you.

How is LoL pay to win?

From my understanding you can buy skins, heroes, and name/region change.

The runes are bought with IP, same with the heroes. You can't but runes with real money. Plus all Tier 2 Runes are 1 IP, meaning just one game can get you like 2 pages of runes. Not sure when tier 3 are free, most likely when the new Client comes out.

>>
>>345113528
It's pay to reduce gring which is basically one form of P2W accoring to /v/.
>>
By Free To Play, do you mean all freeware or just those that have pay stuff in them? Because there's a ton of good freeware (and some nice shareware although that's mostly fallen out of practice)
>>
>>345113528
Pay to not grind is p2w. I know you fags want to say it's not, but as someone who is Plat/ diamond every single season except the most recent because I quit, it's p2w, and a shit f2p model. The fact you people still support this f2p model blows my mind.
>>
>>345112904

Not only this, but if you are paying for champions, you get to save up for Runes and Rune Pages, which you will need to actually stand a chance.

LoL isnt directly pay-to-win, but you will need hundreds of extra games to catch up to someone that buys champions.

Player A and player B level up to 30. They keep all of their IP.

Player A spends $0 and buys characters with IP. He now has no runes and when he finally gets enough time put into the game to proceed into ranked, he doesn't have a wide selection.

Player B spends $X and buys characters with real money, then spends IP on runes. He's able to proceed into ranked eventually with a stronger roster and can provide more picks for his team.


Imagine this scenario where player A with 15 characters unlocked queues ranked, along with player B who has 50 characters unlocked.

Player A is first pick, but he can't pick the most OP shit because he doesn't have them unlocked. He only has a few to select from. Player B is able to select a wide variety because he spent money to unlock more. Both players at this point have played the same amount of time.
One can argue "but you can unlock everything if you just put the time in!"; The key thing here is that a player with a wider variety of characters will have a much easier time progressing in ranked - something you can have an advantage in by paying real currency. This wouldn't matter in the slightest if characters were balanced, but they aren't. They never are, there is always a small portion of the roster that is objectively better than others and if you're not picking along with the meta, you're playing at a massive disadvantage - a disadvantage you can overcome with paying real money.

In a game like LoL, a huge part of winning is picking a good team, which means that you need to have access to a wide array of characters to choose from to be sure that in any given game, you have a good chance to play a character that is A) relevant to the specific round at hand, and B) you're not terrible at. It's a huge disadvantage to not have access to all the characters, and there are SO MANY that cost SO MUCH IP that it simply isn't in any way reasonable that you can expect the average player to play anywhere near enough to get all the characters. The skins are fine, because they don't affect gameplay and LoL doesn't have any art direction to ruin with wacky skins to begin with. So even though it's TECHNICALLY just pay2notgrind and not strictly pay2win, when the cost is so high, and Riot can rely on people not thinking about how much they would have to play to get an unlock (or God forbid, all of them), or focussing on the fact that it's technically possible to do it without paying despite the fact that they may as well just have made every single character unlock after 2 gorillion hours if you don't pay.

I played it from time to time but I gave up because until you get to maps, it's shit. After that it's grind your balls off for maps in maps maps maps maps so you can get currency to get gear because you'll never be lucky enough to get proper drops anyhow.

I hear it somewhat changed at one point but I wasn't going to return to check it out because I had been lied so many times before about stuff being fixed.

>Desync has been fixed!!!! (Not really)
For fucking years on end. Also the fucking trashy elitist snob community and people like you.

You can say that it's not Pay to Win but more stash/storage space DOES affect the gameplay. It certainly isn't cosmetic.
>>
>>345115347
Okay for one fucking thing TF2 is NOT pay2win like LoL is, not by a fucking longshot: you actually get guns at a reasonable rate, and can craft them easily; if it took 50 hours to unlock a single rocket launcher, or if you only started with the Soldier and the Heavy classes and had to play 100 hours to unlock each of the others, then you could compare it to LoL grind, but naaah...plus, the default weapons for all classes are always a good choice. What weapons do you think are objectively better than stock?

Only truly-unbalanced weapon I can recall was the Machina for its AWP-tier body-shot kills. Maybe that dragon minigun too.

Most stock melees are shit in TF2. The only ones with any redeeming qualities are the bottle, kukri, and knife.

>bat
DPS is garbage compared to both other melees and to the scattergun/pistol. Atomizer is miles better for utility (and has the hilarious taunt kill), there's zero reason not to have it equipped.
>shovel
The only soldier melee worse than the shovel is the half-zatoichi
>fire axe
Literally no reason not to use the powerjack. That speed boost is huge, especially after the spy speed buff.
>bottle
Again, this one is redeemable simply because demo has no other viable short-range weapon. Caber is shit after GunMettle (RIP) and swords got nerfed with demoknighting as a whole
>fists
Fists of Steel if you're defending, GRU if you're attacking, KGB if you're fucking around.

>bone saw
If you're playing medic and not using the Ubersaw, you need to stop.
>Kukri
It's fine, but only if you're not using Jarate. Otherwise bust out the Bushwacka.
>knife
Spy probably has the most balanced set of melees in the game and for good reason. Spycicle has its uses, YER and Kunai are always good fun once you get that first stab, big earner got a buff, but the stock is the most reliable.

Oh yeah I forgot about the equalizer and shit, true. Still though, having a couple of melee weapons that are a slight upgrade compared to stock doesn't exactly put it anywhere near LoL, both the rate at which things drop, and the fact that you have access to all characters and all stock weapons from the start and the fact that you can craft all serve to remove it from the pay2win model.

It's "buying runes" indirectly since you'll be buying champions that you don't then need to buy using your IP which you can then spend on the runes.

thats not the issue though, the issue is after tier 8 its incredible hard to actually make a profit with not premium account, meaning you are forced to grind lower tier or buy premium.
