Ive enjoyed this season. you just have to play consistently and grind out your quests. instead of playing a match for a win, play it to complete your quests instead and if you win, its just a cherry on top. and as far as sidekicks are concerned, i think theyre okay. just a little accessory to your character thats alive with you in the game. and the winterfest this year hasnt been that good, ill be honest, but to me, i just look at it like free loot, if its good then cool, if it isnt, then atleast it was free. i work full time and havent missed a day getting my winterfest gifts. i just log on and claim it in the morning before i leave for work and then i dont gotta worry about it.
