The Bazaar - The Dragons

WARNING: new characters are released in a bit of an extra strong state to compensate for everybody being new and unskilled with them. if you buy this and then b*tch about the inevitable nerfs, you're a chudingus. i haven't played them yet but i love everything about them, the trailer and music they made for them was incredible, and i've never been more excited to try a new character's mechanics. i will update this review when i've given them a proper try. edit: having played more, they are my favorite hero so far. very tricky with all the different build paths. they're kind of like a rainbow character with a bit of everything except poison and rage. i love how the music note sockets on the board reward you for building unique boards over copying builds. some will complain that it's rng, but i love stuff that encourages you to adapt and experiment over trying to force meta builds. that takes more skill than basically memorizing flowcharts. their in-game album is amazing, just be aware that they don't have the vocal songs from the trailer.

So, afther playing the Dragons for a small while i can tell you EXACTLY why you shouldn't buy this. 1. When the mobile version of this game releases, the Dragon will be free, with as only compesation being a singulair founders skin for them. 2. They have copied ALOT of mechanics from 2 other heroes, that being Jules (Stoves/coolers mechanic turned into notes) and Karnok (Karnoks rage that gives him powerfull buffs turned into Tempo which honestly is really poorly tought out) 3. As someone who has played every character quite alot, the Dragon suffer from the most EXTREME case of "lack of kit crossover", and what i mean by that is ALOT of their items do NOT synergize with each other, and without Synergy they have NO playable boards. 4. RNG. Too much RNG, way to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much RNG. ALOT of their items rely either on lucky crits, finding the right items in the first place, even getting items as their econ sucks massively. every single lategame option (and they need lategame because if you cant find items early due to their econ and item synergy sucking balls you are gonna have to go late) is locked behind gold+, with the exception of Drag Racer but even Drag racer cant save a board with 0 synergy as it is heavily reliant on synergy. cant find good haste/slow AND a consistent way to generate tempo? Well too damn bad you are going 0 wins with Drag Racer. All other options are balls aswell, because you are stuck with a HORRIBLE board early, and then IF you even find a lategame pivot... Well good luck staying alive till you can make that pivot because lack of crossover! I fell for the bait of inmeditally buying them because i have a weakspot with everything dragon related, and with earlier dragon items having really sick actual dragon designs, even the character that is supposed to be about Dragons barely does something with actual dragons. "oh hey look a jacket! Guess that is a dragon! Oh this pendant? Also a dragon!" Just by looking at the designs i dont feel verry much dragonny stuff as more it is impersonating dragons then being one. Do not buy this untill they get a balance patch because my god they are AWEFULL rn
