So it's been discussed before, that HS requires a hefty economic investment.
I think the new expansion might make it worse. Many Legendaries will be released, so far most of them seem incredibly good. My prediction is that Highlander decks will keep dominating and will have around 8 legendaries per deck.
Do you think the P2W situation is getting worse?
By casual play, I have enough gold to buy 40 packs. If I go for the 70€ preorder that means it's 1 Golden legendary (may be disenchanted for a better one) and atleast 3 legendaries from bad luck protection.
So that's 4 Legendaries for 70€ + months of gold saving (casual playing)
