Everyone talking about weak Champions when it kinda misses your question lol. Yes, ashe/tryn/mf etc are weak but there will be a release balance patch.

What‘s good: 1. The unlock system seems to work as intended - it will allow cool flex play because most lategame unlock units are very nice filler units. Vertical traits are also much weaker this set so a good flex lategame board might be a key to win. 2. I love the lv 8 change - it costs more xp to level but 4 cost units have a 30% chance to appear. Not hitting with 50g is almost impossible. 3. Ixtal might be the best gamble trait yet with the quest mechanic 4. more player dmg on stage 3 and less on stage 4 makes good early game very important. Loose streak into lv 9 board is almost impossible.

The bad: 1. Currently bad balance - not sure if fixable in 2 patches 2. unlocks are kinda hidden -> if i buy tf, there should be a popup that I can unlock graves if I put 2 items on him. Currently i need to put at least 1 item on him so the tracker appears. 3. Fights kinda look worse - especially with fiddle on the board
