    What is the point behind all those slippery slopes? I've played in Feast, got one of the top 100 rewards, haven't met much of this supposedly rampant cheating everybody likes to throw around. I'm sure you can probably find me one or two specific examples that I'm not aware of as I could also give you one specific player on Light that was infamous for win trading in early EW with 2 accounts, but that's quite going on a limb to say that it's suddenly rampant, especially when you haven't even played Feast at Diam level (am I right?). That's frankly disingenuous and your fear mongering is nothing but toxic for the mode: if you'd be trying to push away every player from ranked you'd not do any better.

    Edit: to put things in perspective, I haven't played Feast nearly as much as I have CC, and in Feast I've never ever had a single anchor in my team or in the opposite team in the ranks where it mattered, but perhaps I've been lucky? In CC, and again in the ranks where it matters, I think I can count the amount of times I've had one of those either in my team or in the other team in the fingers of my hands over the course of thousands of games, but I'm sure it makes it rampant, right?
