If you are struggling to climb, do not pay attention to the posts of an "average player" who can get crystal and diamond. The fact of the matter is that Ultimates, which also have exclusive particle effect weapons, are entirely skill-driven (with little exception).

CC has a factor of luck associated with it, and just because one player climbed fast with a job, does not change that at certain times and certain days, it is easier to climb with your current skill level than at other times.

I tried playing meta jobs, and it did help me rank up. That being said, many of the games just come down to who has more meta jobs than the other. In most games that I have a DNC in my team, I lose, period.

It is very likely that SE will add another PvE weapon that outshines the design of the hellhound weapon. What I felt was a bad strategy was to incentivize PvP with these weapons only to lock them behind high rank.
dude i have been TELLING this to people and some of them are conviced that im full of crap, lol i think that rather then wasting effort trying to keep ranked on life support with *rewards* just get rid of ranked, its not worth it and it will never be worth it.
