Can we make it so one gains ascended shards of glory by doing well in matches rather than by just playing them?
I’m encouraged not to even go into unranked anymore, even on a newbie character. I had 3 dcs during placement, got my rank higher but started to notice it wasn’t as fast as I would have liked and at some point I stopped caring. I started bringing half-tested builds into ranked because ascended.
I’m certain there are many people who feel that way too, especially in the lower divisions, which will make them an absolute joke.
Maybe you actually need to win? Maybe you get more for winning in higher divisions?
It’s a grind, it’s meant to be a grind, people will appreciate having to work for what they want far more than they’ll enjoy having it handed to them.
