Exactly it’s 330 keys because it gives you 270 but then 2 keys daily for a month.

I was wondering why they changed the pricing of Wild Cores, and then the Stellar Bonds came out and I was like "ah, so that's why". They changed it to make Stellar Bonds look like a better deal. They're trying to make people get used to buying the cheaper subscription, like we're used to battle passes by this point, because it costs the same and gives you the same amount of Wild Cores as the cheapest Wild Core bundle you can buy :/ Which is now higher price that it was before. At least in my country, idk about what the price was before in NA.

The $5 sub is fine imo. Same price as buying 425 WC + you get some freebies. I will buy this once only for the 150 silver dust and almost 5 levels of wild pass. I will never buy the weekly chest tho. The $35 sub is only worth it for those who buy a lot of keys, cause they will save some money/wild cores + get some goodies. But they are still trash/lazy offers imo. They could have done better. At least 1 free random skin per month or daily poro energy/coins... Someone said they started this subscription thing with terrible rewards, so later they will update it & add more rewards and players will be tempted to buy it. Maybe then it could be worth it...

They play on your emotions. they don't reward you for doing good but instead punish you so you loose bc they give you bad teammates to carry. Just look at all the things wild rift china has. They don't take player reports seriously, they don't ban people who use racial slurs and are toxic. you can literally into to challenger. That alone should let you know everything you need to know.

There is a difference between not being able to afford it and not doing it out of principle. If you legitimately can’t afford something that is $5 per month in America then you do not need to be gaming, you need to be putting a lot of energy into other things. Deciding that it’s not worth $5 is a completely different and very valid situation. A lot of the people who say they can’t “afford” BattlePasses and game subscriptions will then spend heavily on fastfood or multiple $7 coffees throughout the day. It’s just a perspective thing.
