Q:
Why does the gambits have to reset on death?
I believe the real question is:
Why give us the option to turn off said gambits if we just lose them regardless if we win or lose in the match?
Why not? Sometimes you might select something and then decide you don’t want it.
Tickets should be paid when it’s your time in queue and not on activation, but the way it is, is the simplest implementation. It’d be funny if you had to pay after you were ported in to the arena and if you didn’t have the funds, the floor would drop.
