Feedback for the Future of AW Showcases

This thread is for feedback on up and coming showcases.
There was a post on the forums from Kabam that said future showcases will be made even more difficult than the current one.
With that in mind, there are a few immediate concerns.
For starters, I think the rewards should accurately reflect the level of difficulty and cost required (cost is including the intensive 5 energy per tile cost here). The current showcase gives you 5k 7* shards for exploration and 2k for completion. Well, the 5k from exploration is how much you can get from Valiant BGs with minimal effort (just grinding objectives and slowly climbing ladder). It’s also even less than the rewards from exploration of Shooting Stars quest, which I believe is 6k.
Now, one might say that the current showcase is “easy” and therefore the 7* shards are fitting, however keep in mind , it’s Decay. Decay was only one of very few metas where the attacker tactic was designed in a way to truely give you an advantage over the defender tactic.
Which brings me to my next point, I couldn’t imagine a showcase where the tactic was the current Magika one and we had for example a Bullseye or KM boss of something. Even the path fights would be much more difficult than using Decay attackers in the current showcase.

At least imitate 100% of T-1 instead of only imitating the "fun and interactive" nodes and cramming masteries over it.
All the push to be more grindy and difficult content with the current state of the game is just taking many players to frustration and retirement.
If Kabam doesn't understand this and just want people to burn their revives/potion stashes not because they play bad but because AI reparries, breaks combos, intercept with a light while the defender is dashing forward...they may have somer really bad mass reaction sooner or later.
