They ignored us for months and months, however, they did state few months back that matchmaking would be adjusted and weaker rosters would be motivated to build up their roster. So at least weaker rosters were given notice which also makes them addressing what they already addressed less of a priority.
But also, that's how this game works. Spending is concentrated at the top. If the very very top of the game is only capable of adding, say, a couple R5s to their roster that would mean everyone else would have to have a lot less. This trickles downward. If the very top gets 5, the middle of the top gets 3, the bottom of the top, which is still the top 0.1% of players, gets 1, and everyone else gets none. The highest spenders are spending between ten times more than me and a hundred times more than me. How much advantage should they get over a moderate spender like me? 20% more? 10%? 1%?
If you expect the very top of the competition to have diluted advantages due to spending, where that's almost certainly where the most spending happens, no one else can get anything at all from spending. For the average player to get decent value the higher spenders have to get a lot of value, and the maximal spenders have to get more value still. That's inescapable.
I actually didn't spend all that much this J4. I am an eight year veteran of the game and I do play a lot, and I have spent in the past, but overall at the moment I have four R5/R2 rank champs, plus an unused rank up gem, so call that five. If the top megawhales in the game have twenty, how much stronger would you say twenty is than five? Four times stronger? Questionable, because that doesn't count the rest of the roster, but let's say four times stronger. They've almost certainly spent at least twenty times more than me on this game, maybe fifty times more. What should they get for their five thousand percent more spending? One hundred percent more? What's fair?
If you decide that the absolute top spenders can only have X, what sort of crumbs are you leaving behind for everyone else?
I can guarantee you that prior to these deals not a single HIGH ranking ftp player was complaining about the disparity in rosters. This is because if you were skilled enough it was still possible to deal with 4-5 rank 5s or 1-2 r2 7 stars. Although with these deals you can literally brute force your way to the top despite skill now.
The main factor behind this is the huge challenger rating difference between 7 stars and 6 stars. What this does is that it makes it dang near impossible to crit or do high damage against them. Therefore when players are suddenly able to jump from 1-2 r2 7 stars, all the way to 7+ in a span of a few days, it makes it nearly impossible to power through purely based on skill. At least before you could always ban some, but now if I ban 3 I'll have to deal with 4 more and literally have a almost guaranteed lost no matter what. If you actually played in the competitive scene you would see where I'm coming from, but you'd rather stick to the bias that ftp players only lose cause of skill lmao.
so OP, i hear you, but the fact is, for the next few seasons you will see this pain. The company pushed the sales along with the battlerealm brawl, so the higher players in BGs will spend to be able to compete with it. Your odds are going to be next to nothing if you didnt spend with the rest of them.
You can keep complaining about it but it's not going to change. Players who spend gain an advantage over those who don't. I guess you'll just have to accept being a top 600 BG player instead of a top 400 player, which I know is a great hardship.
People who spend will get more. They will progress faster. They will have it first. Welcome to a fact of life.
I don't know if this idea of going head-to-head came from BG and his content, or from a misguided belief, but it's not up to the game team to make sure it's tit-for-tat.
You can take public transit and go on the same roads as someone driving a Lamborghini, but you're not entitled to get there just as fast.
