I think everyone decides for themselves who they want to play with, when, and under what conditions. Personally, I don't play Heroes for money because I don't like spending money on it. Very few people play for money on the portal, and usually, they play among themselves. It's not difficult to find a player of any level to play with without betting money. And if you want to play against Stinger, Bishop, or Hellight, you can play against them for free in a tournament, if you have the skill or a favorable bracket. But simply playing against them for money just to play and sweat against Stinger, for example, is a rather expensive pleasure because to beat such players, you need to play very well yourself. And just paying money, losing (especially if you lose on turn 115), and then getting angry at yourself and feeling bad, I don't think it's worth it. After all, to win this game, you need your opponent to have a really bad game. And the chance of that isn't that high, but again, this is just my opinion; everyone is their own master. Peace to all!
