Idea: don't change Act 6

I know, you probably saw the title and came here to tell me off for even hinting at not changing Act 6, but hear me out...
What if an alternate version of Act 6 with the changes discussed were released, but the harder Act 6 was also left in as a challenge for those who want to try it?
The easier Act 6 would still offer the same rewards and allow progress to the next story components when released, but would also provide those who have completed Act 6 a chance to go back and experience the new version while still being rewarded.
This would alleviate the problems surrounding compensation for those who have already done Act 6, and allow summoners who feel stuck a chance to progress. I don't think allowing double the rewards for those going through both easy and hard versions would be particularly game-breaking, especially for the amount of work it entails. This also would provide some new(ish) content for people to work on, and help those who don't know if they should still work on Act 6 or wait for the change.
The primary issue I see with this would be those who have completed a portion and not want to repeat that content even on a new, easier version. But, the prospect of double the rewards I'm sure would help put some at ease. As it is, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to satisfy and accurately compensate everyone at different progression levels in Act 6 anyways, so why not just open both easy and hard versions for everyone to play?

V4 first fight: 150K health. 11K attack. Namor. Strike Back node
classic back issues#4 first fight: some unranked 3 star
The rewards are a huge difference too
I’m not saying the difference in difficulty and rewards would be the same as variant and classic difficulties. I’m just saying they have done 2 different versions of the same quest before, so why not here also?
Classic is to experience the event quest all over again. The first fight is an unranked three star. The rewards are some three star crystal shards and some mastery cores.
Variant is a challenge. The first fight is an 11K attack Namor. The rewards are five and six star crystal shards, rank up gems, and a hefty amount of gold.
the rewards scale with difficulty. Yours don’t, which means you’re just offering a bunch of bs fights for the same stuff you can get from a way easier act.
If we wanted to preserve those fights this would probably be the way to do it, because who actually cares about trying to slog through a path that we would have to do anyways in the actual story mode?
Plus, as someone who has explored act 6, I’m curious what the changes will be like but don’t want to go through again for nothing. And, I’m sure people who haven’t done all of act 6 will be curious what things were like before the changes.
