The Vibranium Grind is REAL (and Diamond)

So assuming the victory token remains at 1 from Diamond 4 to Vibranium 1 ... that's a LOT of victories in a row now to reach the circuit. Smart move Kabam but I do NOT like it lol

Not to mention, there are no elder's marks in Vibranium at all now.

Do you genuinely believe it was a smart move? I believe it'll put more people off pushing, unless that's their intent

When you consider seeding and what that will mean, it was a smart move to make it a grind for sure. What I don't like is if they leave it to 1 victory token from D4 to V1. That's insane.

I probably won't make it to GC this time. 3 back to back 5 wins in a row could be too much. Requires good investment in victory sheilds. I have made it to GC in last 4 seasons, but this by just the looks of it looks tough. I guess it's for this season only due to Summoner Clash.

Nope, moving forward these new 3 added ranks are permanent.

They don't want everybody in gc they only want the best of the best there

Now that they took it down, when can those who didn't exploit this bug expect the 16k BG token compensation.

You can booo me, but it's 50% T6c selector. It's a lot.

Just to point out - they may not want everyone in GC but when the implemented the 2:1 medals for the majority of the ranks, it was to increase the amount of people in GC.

This is going back to the old way which caused me get objectives and ignore the node. Losses are too penalizing when often your win or loss happens as soon as you see who you are matched against.

Usually finish above Arcane and I think you're right. It will be much harder from NEXT season. The win rate to get into GC is going to stall a lot of players until the smaller accounts make it through to the upper tiers.

Here we are again at point zero.
Kabam solved the VT stall frustration with the 2-1 medal system, Kabam essentially took it away by adding extra meaningless 1-1 tiers.
VT will be pretty much the same annoying grind it was the first seasons.
Unnecessary change that adds up a lot of grind and frustration over no reason.
All these BGs threads and suggestions for a better VT experience that brought positive changes, eliminated with the extra grindy tiers addition 😠

Vibranium BS is real. Way too much of a hassle.

Coming from a player that hasn’t ever made GC and currently in V2. What a waste of time

How is it a waste of time when you have gotten rewards along the way? Its not an quest that wouldn’t give you rewards unless you finish it!

Maybe let this play out and see the actual consequences after BG ends. If this doesn’t solve the issues, Kabam can adjust.

oh well if you are not good enough to progress in a ranked game mode you are not good enough. simple.
i am also in the same boat.

Quite telling that at this stage of the season (last I checked) mysterium wasn't even full up yet.

3 vibraniums are excessive, seeding won't speed up victory track and will just bunch the best people together slowing it down even more. It's almost as though they just wanted to incentivise victory shields...
