I have a feeling POG will win 4-0

I have never seen in any other competitive gaming before where you can get clear edge with "pay-to-win". It's ridiculous that those are not banned and that this is allowed. It make unfair competition situation and everyone is not in same line. "But you could get them for free" No, even then you just had to pay, not with your money, but just with your time. For me it not matter that much, I don't care enough and can play without abilities also. The point is that this is not how competitive gaming should work. And I prefer just for fair competitive environment for everyone, which is what this should be.

I do agree that everything locked behind a paywall should be banned, whether it’s S1 or S2 items. I was under the impression S1 items were granted to everyone after the season ended. Items locked behind a paywall are pay-to-win in the very definition of the term. If someone starts the game now, they must pay to get access to the items. Anything other than cosmetic items should never be locked behind a paywall, progression or battle passes. I also agree with Anton that if the same system is in place in NHL 27, all tournaments should be ran with no abilities.

Thanks for the feedback Everyone. League Administration genuinely thought we were doing a good thing by this approach, but it turns out we were wrong. This most recent decision will be rolled back and no new bans will be put in place for this Winter season. Regarding the timing, we didn’t know the timing of the WOC seasons when scheduling the ECL originally. When the new season started this week, we were a bit surprised by EA’s approach and decided to make a quick decision. But as we’ve now learned, it was the wrong one. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your swift and honest feedback. As we said in the original news story, the plan is to move away from Abilities for the Spring season, as that seems to be what the majority is asking for.

Wtf? 👎👎👎 new bans midseason is ridiculous

Just ban elite sponge also then ffs, simple as that...
