It sounds like they should stop making thinly-veiled time-wasting systems to artificially pad out sub times at the expense of the player's own enjoyment and actually make the mode fun and not a massive-time sink dependant heavily on RNG. Because that's all this is and pretending otherwise is disingenuous.

That's what the series malmstones is for.

Those don't increase my rank at all those are just for currency used for certain rewards. There is no way to rank up besides being good and praying you don't get a bad team makeup and lose whatever progress you just made that day.

What does getting Global Elite in CS prove? or Challenger in LoL? etc. Most of them dont have meaningful rewards. Its the persuit of being better than other people, and thats about it.

That's what I'm getting at. Only reason I grinded to crystal was to get the crystal border. If everyone got crystal just for participating I wouldn't have bothered. It's just a border.
