I want to clarify the whole "You can still purchase the new DLC charackters with in-game steel".
According to previous Ubisoft game with simmilar mechanic - R6 siege, this means that each DLC hero will cost as ~90 Daily missions (including the once you can take in Uplay club) and/or full Dominion games. With special events and extra contracts we can shorten this amount of full Dominion games to ~60. And since each Dominion game is in range of 20 mins, we get ~16-24 hours of 4v4-only gameplay (Duels and Brawls give you as nearly much steel per theoretical time but have longer net loading times which results in smaller number of steel per real time) in order to unlock 1 DLC character out of 2.
This doesn't sound THAT bad but you should remember that during this grinding period you are not supposed to unlock decorations, emotes, crates etc. Which also may not sound that bad but then you remember that you paid 60USD for this.
Note: During Beta I played with Champion status (premium time) which means that I was getting a bit more steal per match than I would usually do.
