In all seriousness, adding all these ranks at the end just nerfs the positive addition of 2 medals per win, 1 for a loss because it all disappears up there.
The 1:1 ratio + only matching with GC players in those tiers really feels like it's screaming "BUY ODINS TO PROGRESS"
Really kills the motivation for anyone who isn't whale or Odin buyer to work their way up to GC, Nah it kills your motivation to even make it to Vibranium since you will just be stuck there for a long time or for the whole season unless you use shield on every match.
Last but not the least, people like me will just do the work till they advance easily and will call it a day for BGs as soon as they hit a rock wall in VT and then do the 48 hrs objectives worth of matches only. Which means that more players will start season 12 at bronze 1 and then have an easy time getting all the milestones in solo events compared to the ones who will end up in GC in Season 11 and this cycle will continue until only a few players advance to GC which will lead to the Dev team wondering why are some paragons still ending up in bronze and stomping the lower level players...
They got farmed like corn on the last season and made the data they were collecting all messy 🤣
If you were getting into GC up to now, the intent is for your climb to GC to be no worse but not really any easier than before. If it is the same, that's a bullseye. My only concern is that it isn't significantly harder, which would probably not be intentional.
Also, if the time investment ends up being a wash, that's a net overall reward gain for GC players, because they will get all of the rewards from the original VT tracks, plus an additional 14600 tokens and various relic shards from the additional three tracks.
1: We don't get 2 medals per win. The tiers above plat 1 require 5 medals to progress and now with their being more added there is a lot more room for people to not make any progress as well as have a problem with people point farming.
2: They neglected to add elders marks in the tier rewards which just seems odd. It would be nice to have extra marks to mess with at least for the first time this goes live.
it always will be.
if you wanna push but skill is small it will be tough.
it always will be.
if you wanna play easy casual for fun then seeding helps with that.
but gotta remember it is a competitive mode.
so if you wanna push it will be tough.
it always will be.
it doesn't matter what they do it will be tough trying to push. as you will literally be looking to push to your upper limits.
if you want an easy time you gotta take it slow and not push.
its a competitive mode. designed to get tough as you go up.
maybe there are some things they can do to adjust seeding to spread out the GC.
so peeps in uru start in gold
peeps in gamma start in plat
peeps in arcane start in diamond
peeps higher than arcane start in vibranium.
but regardless what they do it will only be easier for a little while and then it will get tough for you.
that is just design of competitive mode.
but look at it this way.
if you start in plat you might get tough matches at the start but 2 points.
firstly,
you will get all the lower rewards for no effort. just based on what you did last season. so there is that.
secondly after a few days/a week the opponents who were tough for you will have moved up making your life easier to maybe make a last week season push.
and repeat.
if you could push to GC in the first week it would only be a tough second week when you get there anyway so same same.
geez .. are we certain all Vibranium tiers will be 5 wins??
Umm, yes. Duh.
Aside from that, it doesn't really matter if they do or don't, people are getting free wins ... or is that where everyone's issue lies?
Also, if they're pushing GC (which is the general idea of the mode) and racking up points in the event as a side effect (ie the solo event etc not being the primary focus) then how are they going to get in there quicker by tanking? They won't, it'll take longer. Add in these extra tiers too
