Loot crates suck, RNG sucks. It’s utterly unrewarding to spend all your money on them and pray you might unlock something you want.
Hell, leave them in the game, but make everything, mythical items included, unlockable through challenges or large amounts of veratanium (50k, 75k, 100k, etc). At least then we’ll have something to work towards instead of being completely put off from touching the game when we spend all our veratanium on dupes.
Oh and give lvl 100 players a reliable way to make veratanium too. Without loot crate and veratanium rewards from leveling up, you’ll average like 100-ish veratanium for a perfect match. And grinding private matches to farm veratanium is no fun.
