A Way To Give Anyone A Chance At Hellhound Mounts?

You think the difference between getting and not getting top 100 is solely RNG? LOL, this statement clearly reflects how your mind works, and it's one of the first things people with l2p issues blame things on. Wahhh it's always my team, not me?
So the world should revolve around you, your feelings, and how you think? I'm afraid it doesn't, but it may revolve around me. I propose you stare at people that have the mount and pretend that you have it, because it's likely that's all you can do.

It kinda is. I mean I'm considered very average player and got to Top 100 (with sub 45% wr) when much better players didn't because of bad matchmaking or lose streak in blind week. If its not luck/RNG, then what it is?

Allow me to pick apart what is wrong with your post:
"I've always wanted at least one of the mounts but sadly I started way too late and queues were bad"
Always wanted... since when? We knew we were getting an exclusive mount since the very beginning of the season, so where were you? Always wanted since a week ago? You make it sound so poetic and yearning. If that's the case, then apparently you haven't wanted it for very long. If you wanted it before then, why did you not put in the time and effort that you knew you needed to put forth to get it? You are the only one responsible for being a procrastinator. There are several things in this game you cannot obtain anymore, and so what makes this one special? I'm waiting. I didn't get both yo-kai mounts. I was around for the event; I knew it wasn't going to be around forever. I only wanted the one, but whose fault would it have been if I wanted both and didn't get it? Mine. Boohoo, it takes too long to get all the weapons? It's too grindy? Tears don't work like they do in the pokemon movie—you know, where pikachu cried and ash came back to life. UGH, that's my movie right there! You're making me all emotional now.

I see people with ~1300 games played on your data center, as I see on mine. Someone is top 100 diamond there with 124 games played. You couldn't fit in that many games when the 2-week warning was given and everyone was playing? You couldn't fit those games in all season? Ah, but that person with 124 games played is a type of player that you are not. You will likely need more games than that to learn. We all have a learning phase and start somewhere.

"PvP needs to have long-term goals that aren't solely decided by the RNG that is a bad team"
Players set the goals for themselves, did you not know? For a goal, how about becoming a better player and always looking for ways to improve? Rewards should come naturally if you made this your goal. Where's the RNG in that? In a given game, you either win or lose, right? That's a 50% chance to win? That alone is enough to get you top 100. Things get a little tricky when you get diamond—you'll find you'll need to do better than 50% for the week to usually end up going up in rating. You must have a high opinion of yourself, right? Can't you at least make that 50% difference?! Everyone gets teammates they'd rather not have, and they get them even more so than you do. You think people at the top have the best luck? On the contrary, they have the worst luck. It is actually hardly luck because do you know there's a matchmaking system? If I'm the only diamond, it's likely to put plats on the other team and give me some gold players that disappoint me to no end. You have it so good the lower rated you are, so please spare me and everyone else. I'm confident that if I watched you play, I could point out a dozen misplays you've made in a given game. I'm confident in saying that if you get a bad team all the time, that the reason is mostly because you're on it, and that's the harsh reality.

Did you know there is a way to win practically every time in even what is true gambling? Own a casino, and you will come out ahead in the long run. Would you like me to give you a list of things that objectively play a part in what can win and lose a game? Knowing these things would get that RNG in your favor.

Funny thing is I saw OP never in a single feast match (8vs8 and 4vs4) even though I played the last 2 seasons on aether....

I think you're overestimating the amount of players who actually have those mounts. Besides, wintrading in Light Part Feast already devalued the mount.

But if SE is going to stick with exclusive PvP mounts, let's make the 4.0 raid mounts exclusive as well. It'd only be fair.

Idk about your data center, but on mine, there was a concerted effort to rotate players into LP queue to block win-traders, coordinated by the pvp discord (I'm there socially because I didnt compete S3, just nice to read about other ppl interested in pvp). I don't think wintraders were able to get anything on Primal, but I could be wrong (didn't participate so I wasn't glued to the who's who).

I, personally, am completely pro-exclusive rewards, for PVP and PVE. Things are so much more interesting when they're not flooding my screen. Hunting someone down with Astrope/Firebird just to see it, it's fun to watch.

Did you end in top 100? No , you don't deserve the mount.

Not to be rude, but does everyone really need everything? Let a group of people have something special for once.

More like Bragging rights I guess.

This can't be stressed enough.
People already took away the minion. Leave the mounts!

They didnt take the minions away, just made it available to a wider audience.
