This is such a minor nitpick and I'm still so happy to play the game every day, but I'll say my squad and I all felt a bit underwhelmed by the montagne skin given to the most loyal of players, the players who have unlocked all of the characters.

Last year we got 25k credits if all the characters were owned. If you own the entirety of an event's packs, you are given renown instead of the free pack.

I personally find the pack system of the game to not only be fair, but favorable to the players. That being said, I can't help feel like my christmas gift was less than everyone else for having spent more money on the game. Even if we had gotten our pick between the monty and the bb santa skin (which I already own anyway), that would have at least been better than giving a skin to one of the lowest pick rate characters in the game while giving everyone essentially real world money. I love the idea of exclusive skins, but it's a bit odd to give it to one of the lowest pick rate characters in the game.

Thank you for sharing your input on the Christmas pack. It's unfortunate you feel the exclusive skin didn't feel justified as an alternative to owning all of the operators. Just to make sure I understand correctly, you mostly dislike the skin because of the fact it is for a character you don't personally play often? Do you at least enjoy the look of the skin at all?

Even a mid pick rate character. Looking at the year 4 season 3 delta chart, Monty has presence in roughly 4% of matches.

The skins are fine. Blackbeard is exceptional, the universal is better, the skins have steadily improved over the years.
Thank you for clarifying! I can make note of this for future reference. I do understand it can be a bit disappointing, especially for a character you may not play or a least popular character overall. Who do you think that skin style would have been better for?

Also I wish we had drones skins for special occasions like this. There was a kitten drone skin on 1 April, for Christmas it could be something like a wrapped candy.
Awh man, both of those would have been super cute! I'll keep it in mind for next year for certain. I adored the drone skin from Rainbow Is Magic. Mozzie would have been a funny idea :P
