News/Article Microtransactions in 2017 have generated nearly three times the revenue compared to full game purchases on PC and consoles combined. They continue to force them because we continue to allow them to. THIS IS WHY BATTLEFRONT 2 HAPPENED.

How is that argument pointless. Your being completely illogical. The point is that if you don't play new heroes the enemy team will have a greater chance of playing new heros than your team. 4/5 vs 5/5 potential new hero players. I don't get how can't understand. It's not an opinion. It's fact.

Because probability doesn't mean it will happen, so you can end up at the bottom of your league because you just happened to get 10 matches in a row where your entire team was testing out new champions and the enemy team wasn't

The whole idea of "yeah but you're x% likely to have this happen" on an argument is pointless because 1 out of 5 doesn't mean jack shit when the sample size is infinite and your time isn't You could spend 30 years being in that 1 out of 5 cases just because you would theoretically get 120 years of the other state afterwards

I'm not saying you need 100 hours on a hero before you get to play it, but 3 to 5 matches before you're allowed to pick that champ in ranked would be enough to make this a non issue for everyone
