I think they are going to find that they are able to compete on a gameplay level far better than they were
It would be nice to have some higher level summoners because with level 1 I have a hard time even in silver leagues... It is a shame that you were right about SPS price going down. It seems that I will not be able to buy as much packs as I would want.
If interested in the game, I think people have to start realizing that they may have to put some of their own funds in in order to buy some individual cards or, some packs and leave it to chance.
