I have a suggestion, why not have offense & defense gear for the chanpion available at the black market, & if your lucky enough to purchase the gear why not make it worth my while, or if you want to wait & take your chances with the BG'S, then thats your choice. But me, i went for the black market option only to find i'm still playing the game at the battle grounds & i am unable to upgrade because theres a better offer out there.... although i didnt know this when i bought them, i play 4 games total domination & nords heroes of the north, as well as throne & vikings, looking forward to jotenhiem by the way... what im trying to say is dont make it so hard to have fun.... If you decide thumbs up can you please look into my gear for an upgrade cheers
