>Half set is aggressively bad in your path

Well mastery packs are off to an abysmal start. For one, they're sold in cases of 8 half sized boxes rather than your draft set 4 full boxes. What that means is there's a greater chance for each box to be seriously bad, like 2 majestics bad. So your odds of getting a shit box in draft set are mostly fair, but due to collation there's an increased risk that 2 half sized boxes are misses. For example out of 8 boxes you could have 3 terrible ones as opposed to the expected 1 from draft. So swingier pulls coupled with the fact the set has terrible design composition; the only two guardians that are eating good from this set are the brand new Valda and the already decent Victor. Bravo, Betsy, Jarl, Terra, Yoji; all of these heroes are capable of playing with these cards but they have almost no synergy with them. So what was suppose to be a huge boost to an entire class ended up as favoring only two heroes in the end and making a minor splash with its quirky generics everywhere else.

This is truly the first and only auto-skip from me since the game has come out. If I wanted to play Valda I'd just buy the singles, which have significantly fucked pull ratios. We're talking multiple cases not guaranteeing playsets of rares here bad.

I think LSS needed this as a wake-up call because it's exposing the problem with their class supporting model. Nothing they learn from this will be felt for at least a year though, as those sets are already well through the development pipeline and are preparing for print by now. One can only hope the next mastery pack they have planned is a huge improvement, otherwise the product is dead in the water and will promptly be abandoned.
