This was a rather bad change in my opinion
First off: nobody enjoys nerfs, second this harms new players and further sets them apart from rankers and other older players who’ve long since leveled their heroes
Second: drill tickets were fine, making them more of a hassle to use doesnt create a better balance, infact it will just make it worse for everyone
Third: a use for the candies chocolates etc could be to serve as an alternative to tickets or an optional booster that increases the effectiveness of tickets. Hell you could even use them to add general traits to lower star heroes to make those less of a throwaway by giving players the option to customize them or…something that isnt a nerf to an allready tedious system
Fourth: absolutely nobody ive asked in the game actually thinks that this patch improves the game in any way. Infact i personally think that this decision is quite rude towards the playerbase
Fifth: i truly hope you will either revert the change and think of a different use for the candies etc. Or make them common enough for them to not be a bother, having to wait for drill tickets was bearable, having to wait for tickets and having to collect items…ontop of spending tons of gold and still needing 10 tickets öer level? That is just atrocious
I like this game, i really do, but this change as of right now, is just a slap in the face for me and i truly hope you will reconsider or improve this in other ways. If you decide not to…well congratulations you killed the only reliable way to level up high level heroes apart from throwing away thousands of units taking great temples over and over and over again dropping the temple after taking it just to take it again, i cant say i know your thoughts but i really hope that this isnt what you intended and that you will re-think this change
