Dota Underlords - Valve's Auto Chess

This update really shows that I’m just a better smarter older? gamer.
I really like Underlords. Much better in fact than TFT which I expected to be more interesting.

This update does nothing for me though. Cosmetics and daily quests to grind are at best a sideways movement for me, if not slightly detrimental.
Yet the game’s reddit and steam forums are aflame with activity and support about how now you actually get something for playing. Because apparently only me and 14 other smart weird people in the world play games for fun.
