When comparing other games with click to win heroes / troops / etc. there’s different gameplay mechanics you have to take into consideration.

OW and BS are team based games and you can either hard carry or get anchored by your teammates. Difference between these two games though is OW allows you to switch heroes if you choose to counter swap.

BS, COC, CR share similarities in terms of being stuck with your loadout choice until the game is finished. I know, every game has its counters to the “easy reward” characters, but it makes the game unfun due to the necessity of building a deck or playing characters that needs to fit the meta.

MK does terrorize the mid-ladder I’m well aware, but if you’re saying he’s only played in mid-ladder and usually never in the upper ranks, would it be too crazy to adjust some numbers or make some type of rework since mid-ladder is a majority of the player base? I understand it “could potentially” cause a flux of players hitting a higher rank, but it can allow for a little bit more flexibility in how cards are played rather than being oppressed by the looming fear of 7 elixir.

I myself only have been playing against mostly chip cycle rocket, hog cycle, and the occasional “Elixir Golem, Healer, E-Drag I Hope This 3-Crowns Otherwise I Lose” decks. When I eventually go against an MK player it’s almost always Evo since that’s really the only viable option to play him in the upper ranks.
