    Alts in Feast - Make Rewards Account Bound and use Highest Ranked Character

    With the bar of entry lowered to level 30, we're seeing a huge influx of alts trying to push through and make it onto the leaderboard. This is taking up slots unique to individuals for a few people and their alt armies.

    Please make rewards account bound using the highest ranked character (For example, if one character was at diamond, and the alts were at gold, at the end of the season diamond rewards would be distributed). Please only let the highest ranked character on the account make it on the leaderboard (If there was one character at 2100, and one character at 2098, only the 2100 character would be used and show up on the board).

    This way it lets more single people make it on the top 100, rather than a few people and their alts. Players who want rewards on many characters would be able to get it if account bound from their primary pvp character.

    Your proposal wont change anything, this is called smurfing and its done in every multiplayer competitive game. Its not about rewards its about crushing the noobs and bragging about how many accounts on the leaderboard you have.

    People will just make new accounts with a new subscription and continue doing it, if you dont believe me look at Overwatch forums, the accounts are $20-30 and people have many.

    People don't do it to "stomp noobs". Anyone will tell you that playing with and against bad players in The Feast is really not fun at all.

    Most people playing alts do so in order to continue playing/practing or to try out new jobs and roles without risking their rank.

    This game suffers harshly from "unfavorable" queue periods, where matches are very regularly swayed against you based on the pool of players currently queueing at the time. Easiest way to avoid that is playing an alt.

    I can understand that and that's reasonable.

    But why do some of these people make more than one alt?! It seems so unnecessary! People with 2-3 alts on the board

    If they want to keep playing customs ARE a thing, though i understand that's currently limited to their own server.

    Once cross world customs become a thing, there's hardly going to be valid reason for people to enter ranked with multiple alts.

    Kuso has the right of it. It's currently hard to even consider practicing at certain periods without just creating an alt to do so.

    As for why there are 2-4 alts of the same people? I dunno.
