On Diablo Immortal, PVP seems to be the ultimate glass ceiling for 100% free to play players, even inside a game that works thanks to the most controversial monetization. Also, becoming Immortal barely a month after the launch of Blizzard’s game and without having paid a penny seems clearly unfeasible. It was without counting on the pugnacity of players like Wudijo, a German streamer specializing in the Diablo franchise, who reached this rank with his clan. And in full f2p please.
Some whale friends help
In reality, Wudijo’s feat is more of a team effort than a personal feat. The streamer even explains it in his video: he very voluntarily uses the “we”, and admits from the start that some of his key clan members are some of the biggest “whales” on the entire server.
In other words, Wudijo serves as a singularity within a clan that has invested large sums in the game.
But that honesty didn’t seem enough for fans, many of whom on Reddit felt the player had been outright “carry” by his wealthy teammates.
The wallet makes the Immortal?
To achieve the rank of Immortal, one of the central requirements is to overthrow the former Immortal after a large clan battle. And even if each protagonist counts in this high-flying fight, it is technically possible to be carried by very strong allies.
Many players who are very critical of Blizzard’s game feel that the Immortals of each server can only be the biggest spending clan. Over time, this assumption may be mitigated, but in the meantime, hard to break into high-level PVP without putting your hand in the wallet.
