Making it 2 medals per win is a good start. But changing it so that in higher tiers it's 5 medals is absolutely stupid cause sometimes you're on a losing streak and that wastes all the time you invested!
Not only that but they kept it 1 medal for the top tiers? Seriously? What's the point?
I understand kabam thinks people couldn't advance because of the 50/50 win/lose ratio but that doesn't mean that you ALWAYS win 1 and lose 1 and losing on a streak is just stupid cause you just wasted 2 hours losing to people with 5 R5 6* in their roster and duped 7*s!
I say losing shouldn't cost you any medals at all and keep the medals per win just 1 and the old system as it was. This way even if you're on a losing streak you don't end up wasting hours upon hours of your time for literally nothing!
This game is way too grindy as it is and setting you all the way back is just evil!

Let’s say you play 4 matches, you win the first 2 matches, lost the 3rd and then win the last.
Last season with the old medal system that would of left you would still be needing one more medal to reach the next league.
But now with this new system you would reach the next league so it’s much better than last season
The way its like that is to lock lower level players out of the circut pretty much,
If you lose a match you should lose a token if you didnt lose any tokens everybody would be in the circut, also there would be one unlucky soul forever stuck in the victory track, anyways if you didnt earn it then well you dont deserve it
Even if you do go on a losing streak and waste all your time your still not wasting nearly as much time as previous seasons.
They made it two medals per win in the lower tiers to make the lower tiers easier. That's the point. They made it one medal per win in the upper tiers to make it harder in the higher tiers. Because that's also the point. If the point was for everyone to get into GC, there'd be no point to the VT. Just start everyone in the GC. And have to earn all their rewards in the GC also.
The VT is there to offer an easier on ramp to GC, and for those players who are simply not qualified or interested in competing in the GC it offers them a limited way to earn rewards proportional to their strength. Weaker players will climb to lower tiers, stronger players will climb to higher tiers, and the strongest players will climb to GC. For that to happen, it has to be easy enough at lower tiers to attract a lot of participation, but hard enough at higher tiers to make it take significant effort and competitive strength to climb all the way up into GC.
I don't know why so many people keep asking "what's the point" as if any change that doesn't allow them to skate into GC must be busted. The point was never to hand everyone GC. The point was to make it easier for players to progress *to some point* in VT, but it is still only the strongest players who are supposed to reach and then compete in GC.
Or at least enough good matches to get to GC.
If they kept it at least 2 medals per win for every tier that would be ok but leaving D2 and D1 4 and 5 medals is ****! Because then you assume that if you win 1 lose 1 than that means you're not good enough and don't deserve to advance!
Well just because you get a loss or more between matches doesn't mean you don't have skill only that you run into monster accounts or you're being offered bad options in the select screen!
Besides, the fact that the nodes never change in VT doesn't even allow you a chance to maybe find a meta that is better for your roster like in GC and that is the stupidest part that I always complained about but apparently everyone must be really happy struggling through an entire month full of BS nodes!
