It's not P2W though, right? I thought they only sell cosmetics w/o competitive advantage (outside a mistake here and there), everything that actually impacts competitiveness is provided equally to everyone.

If that's not the case, could you link something that indicates that?

I would say you are right, because all the playable legends are able to be bought with the free currency you can get by just playing the game.

I guess some people could make the argument that paying players have faster access to new legends and legendary finishers, etc. I would say this is more like "pay to skip some grinding" than "pay to win".
