Kabam fell into the skilled player fallacy
First let me explain the fallacy, I have reasonably high skill playing games so I will be inclined to think that everyone else is at similar skill level as me, sounds reasonable right but that's not true at all
Kabam fell into this skilled player fallacy, thinking everyone is valiant level and Gladiator Circuit standard
I found out that it is absolutely not true at all, some players do struggle with difficult content
They are stuck at their actual progression level until Kabam decides that it is fine to promote them to higher and higher progression (charity paragon now, charity valiant possibly in the future)
Their actual skill level isn't what their progression is now
They met the champion requirement for charity paragon bcos Kabam fed them free 7* champions and rank up materials
So they are at the wrong progression level now, Kabam changed EQ so these players are stuck bcos they cannot handle the difficulty assigned to them
Some players play this game for casually for fun, they lost that option now
This game stopped being a casual game long ago for me bcos I play battlegrounds
I don't play this game casually for fun, when I want some casual fun, I open another game where I race in karts using cartoonish characters
