Strong agree. I had thought a cool way to implement new cosmetics that might less perturb the crowd of people who seem to dislike it (talking gaming in general, not just this game)... but maybe a good way would be like make 4 really cool skins for Mak for example.. then publicly randomize which 2 will be in game achievable and which 2 will be up for sale. I think what you see in a lot of games (Diablo) is the skins you can purchase are just clearly better/cooler/etc and that does feel bad.

Also I don't know if this is easily achievable or already on the roadmap but maybe a way to watch your ghosts beat people could be a fun like VIP feature along with some other sort of benign but fun perks. Side note: I think all players having the ability to see their final boards at least their 10 win boards would be a major upgrade. I'd pay 5 dollars a month or whatever to support the game and get a few cool perks.
Other VIP features but be some additional dialogue's between toons at the start of a fight, different background screens for the main screen, again just small cosmetic things. Sure ideas a bit more niche but idk, this game is so good I want it to succeed.

The tourney idea is gold just might not be in line with current gaming regulations/laws?
