when i read "This meant that often it was easier to have a fresh Uncollected account with a Paragon-experienced Summoners cruising through the Victory Track." in the recent post my anger could not be explained.
kabam intentionally screwing over cav and under players, all for the excuse that "hey alts are a thing and the experience will be more" is the lamest excuse for screwing cav players that i have ever seen from kabam. oh and kabam riding on the fact that paragons would not intentionally stay in victory track to farm points is beyond me.
i would rather know i lost due to my knowledge of the game, than lose because a paragon player got matched with me who would in this scenario be cavalier.
and for anybody defending this decision over rewards, think about it like this. if they had the skill and knowledge to beat other players on the same roster level, then the rewards they get are justifiable. why else would the BGs store be based on progression?? its like if you had the skill to beat this months paragon rifts with your 4 stars, then you deserve the rewards. same should be with BGs.
imagine you never played fortnite, hop on a builds match, and all the sudden EVERY match you play you lose because someone cranked 90s on you whos been playing for hundreds of thousands of hours. or imagine you go into a GTA5 online lobby and someone who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars continuelessly beat you up. then you leave and join another lobby, all for another person to do the same.
i saw a post weeks ago, some cav player got to GC in S9. but that was because they waited till last minute and matched players that are of similar roster level. there is no way a cav player can get to GC at this point now that the change is intentional. paragons will guard plat 1 to farm points and the final week will grind GC.
there needs to be a better way.

With regards to farming, you are forgetting two major pieces. Last season had much more farming than normal because of the extra rewards. Additionally, to intentionally farming points requires losing enough matches as well to not move on, normally by tanking on purpose. That means some people get free wins from them; it just might not be you
Everyone is butt hurt about the farming thing but I doubt it'll even be a major player in there from this season onward
How are they ever going to want to continue playing the game if they are not allowed easy matches into GC???
It's a roundhouse kick to the face of the fanbase. A clear sign this game will die in 103 days. Deep data analysis proves it.
READ THE PATENTS SHEEPLE!!!!!
It's not just an easy way of making Milestones. It's a manipulation of the system that affects more than just the people being pecked off. Not to mention the people who are being pecked off and how unfair that is to them.
Months of Roster-dependent intervention and people still haven't learned a thing.
