With mixed feelings of the boost in rewards for next AW season (
https://forums.playcontestofchampions.com/en/discussion/148475/alliance-wars-season-11-defense-tactics-and-rewards-update), I'm surprised to not see any change in the Victory and Participation crystals. These give fairly poor rewards and have not been changed, as far as I know, in the past 2.25 years since I began playing. Some of the boosts are nice to get, but the ISO you get is inconsequential and honestly just feels bad. Loyalty is always nice, but a little more loyalty would be nice, too.
At the very least, a revamp of the crystals by just taking out the arena boosts would be a big improvement. Arena and AW are not directly connected and getting an arena boost (especially a 3 star) after spending time, resources, sweat, blood, and tears in an AW is one of the most disheartening aspects of the game.
