The point of the Grandmaster's Gauntlet in 2024

Excelimus2009

So I became TB this year and saw the GM'S Gauntlet and I saw the rewards, and I don't think the difficulty matches the rewards and I feel like it needs a tune up or something.

The difficulty didn't match the rewards even when it was released lol.
But the quest was definitely fun, and it has two carina ccp challenges for endgame players.

Is Gauntlet 2.0 a possibility

But they should reduce the difficulty.

Were, but at least reduce the difficulty.

You can't whine about a piece of content that came out 3 years ago and gave out rewards which were considered good at the time. If you want the difficulty to get tuned down then its only fair that they restrict people to using champs that were available at the time and tune down the ranks as well.

This is actually a interesting idea, but they could tune the rewards slightly to make it more relevant to today without breaking the game. They did it with Act 5 and it was solid and I think refreshing old content is a good thing.
Also G.G. is a good practice for the higher HP with restrictions and the better you get at it the easier other content becomes.

The Gauntlet has already had its rewards buffed thanks to the Carina's Challenges it got tied to it. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that those two challenges are so well-designed that they are probably the two easiest runs you'll have in there.

Using Zemo in there really openend up my eyes to exactly how much he can do. He's insane in there, even for fights you wouldn't think he could do. My run with Zemo was the only time I ever solo'd Nameless Thanos, for example. He just melted. I even missed a whole phase because he just bled his way through it before throwing any specials.

Likewise with the Avengers challenge, I really enjoyed it. You don't realize exactly how much thought KarateMike put to it until you actually run it and realize how easy you get through stuff (at least compared to how tough you thought it would be). OG Black Widow is such an MVP in there, but Ant-Man, OG Thor, Iron Man and Hawkeye all put in some good work in there.

Generally speaking, I think the right way to go about asking for increased rewards for particular pieces of content, is by asking for new challenges within that content with up-to-date rewards. That way, both new and old players can partake in eaning them at the same time.

Or, hear me out, release all new everest content with new and better rewards. Cmon man, you can do the gauntlet with 7*. That makes it so much easier. The game progresses. That doesn't mean old content needs to be buffed. I'd rather have all new content.

Act content didn’t trivialize rewards 7.4 came out in like spring of 2022 iirc, about 9 months later. This was a precursor to summer of pain, which did open the t5cc floodgates a bit and give some scraps toward a r4, but people forget how scarce t5cc were for 2020 and 2021.

Ngl I just randomly decided to try gauntlet and I might not exit the quest and just keep going. Soloed doom, almost soloed terrax, on vision
