How is this anymore fair then a good group of premades?

This is preseason, season 1 doesn't start until 3.25

This is 3.21

Preseason has no rewards

I think their point is that the highest ranked solo players get the goodies. Ranking has already started so unless everyone is reset to zero at the season start people are already climbing the ranks. I'm assuming that's the line of thought & going by how the SE information reads I can understand where they're coming from. It's probably yet another SE translation error in how awards will be given but if it's based on rank, rather than wins/points, then some players are already way ahead.

once again the moral do not need you to have the pieces 205 or 180 does not change anything we are all the same I still have not figured out if the SE does not pretend to understand the real players pvp , or does not understand anything of pvp

Not to mention when score based matches start happening, the queue times would skyrocket.

I realized I forgot to give context. What I mean is I'm looking at all the complaints about people getting matched with literally anyone. That certainly helps solve the queue time issue, but it's clearly not a good solution. It's like something you to do at the expense of all else. Then again, I suppose there is no other way to counter long queue times.

And when I mentioned wintrading, I meant how they're not planning to reward ranked parties. Once again, this helps to counter wintrading, but it's also clearly not a good solution because it comes at too much of an expense.

I know im just repeating what was already been said, but its the most important part

* No reward for Team 4v4 ranking is unacceptable. Solo queue is too random to take competitively. Please reconsider!
* The rewards are way too few. I understand that they should be only for the best of the best, but 100 players per data center? really? That means it could be possible that some servers might not even get to see those items at all.
I think the reward should be based on percentage instead of a fixed number. say for example:
The top 1% of the data center get the furniture
The top 3-5% of the data center get the Chest Piece
The top 5-10% of the data center get the head piece

Numbers can be changed ofc, this is just an example. This way there is a better chance for people to get the rewards, WHICH will increase the interest and lust for them.

simple put, the reward system right now is unappealing, and thats a shame because the Feast is one of the greatest additions to this game in a long time
