I would love to play more Ranked PVP buuuutttt....

[BloodRubyXII]

The only solution is accepting ranked isn't going anywhere here, it is bound to stay marginal because the kind of people playing it will always dissuade the other 99% of the players that came to this game to have a good time. They disabled the chat and turned the PVP rotations into a 4 button mash fest in a blatant attempt to turn the pvp into some newbie friendly grounds where everybody is welcome.
They failed. And they will keep failing. No mount is going to make up for bathing in mud thorough months.

It's weird you mention the people playing it dissuade others whilst subtly making out you're some kind of veteran feast player in the same breath. They don't, they actively try to help others for the most part because those "newbie" players are the only hope of having a semi-active season for at least a few weeks. And they're still trying. All things considered this wasn't even a bad season, it fared far better than S6. In fact your entire post is painful to read, because you played horrendously this season then ragequit WPD discord after people tried helping you, which was quickly followed by you claiming it was a Discord full of basement dwellers and all sorts of other lovely things. The grind is only a grind when you rely on strong stacked teams to carry you to top 100 btw, this could be why you're nowhere to be seen in customs. I can understand negativity given the state of feast, but you offer no concepts for improvement whatsoever and you come across as a massive hypocrit, even if in the occasional case you're right.

If you're going to go, just go quietly lol.
