Price Changes
Developer Comments: In this patch, numerous gameplay systems have been adjusted to award players with Gold instead of Radiant Chests, and there will be no more card grind through Radiant and Champion Chest purchases.

Gameplay Systems
Developer Comments: There are significant changes to the Champion Mastery Progression system this patch. Players will now unlock their Talents (previously Legendary Cards) through playing their Champions and leveling them up. This design is focused on giving a rewarding progression system to players as they unlock new ways to play their Champions, laying out a clear path to teach them the fundamental systems inside Paladins. We also made major adjustments to Champion Mastery Level experience rates with this is mind. Players will be unlocking more, faster. Much Faster. We don’t want new players to feel like it is a grind to unlock all their talents, but a natural process that comes from playing a Champion. If you’re a current player, don’t worry about not having access to a talent, you will receive all talents regardless of Champion Mastery Levels with the release of OB67!
