1. I played an ALT last season (not for/nor in top 100, stopped at plat) purely because the matchmaking / point system is awful and promotes people to avoid playing later in the season. Without rank decay this game promotes playing at the start of the season, getting 2200+ then never playing again, this is due to the fact that playing beyond 2100 at diamond can just as easily make you go back to 1900 in a day or two of playing lots of games if you're not a healer. This is why a lot of people retire at around 2100 to 2150+ as a minimun (I was rank 43 last season after dropping multiple times from 2200, after my third re-promotion I decided to AFK for the last 3 weeks of feast to save my score, most people did the same, some even inactive longer then 7 weeks with top 100 spots.)
2. People who play alts on different data centres but criticise people people for alts on the same data centre are no better if not worse, they're not contributing to the data centres queue population on their original server. 10 min queues for tank and DPS add up evening after evening, so much wasted time.
3. SE should implement basic design features to fix most of these problems, such as:
- Account wide rewards/titles for PvP on the same data center
- Daily rank decay
- Alts on the same data centre automatically ignored from top 100 (taking the highest rated character on your account as the singular spot in the top 100)
If a sub par tank like me can get 2140 rating with 48% and still get top 50 by not playing for 3 weeks then there's definitely some basic design issues going on when extremely good players can afk for 2+ months and get top 50.

i feel like the alt thing wouldn't happen as often if there was just a flipping unranked 4v4. not saying it wouldn't happen but even i have made an alt just to chill and pvp without worrying about my mains ranking getting pooped on. how a pvp system doesnt have unranked is beyond me. and dont talk to me about 8v8 its trash and you know it, used for leveling and just goofy crap.



I believe unranked 4v4 custom matches are coming in 4.1. As to how many people will actually play this mode, that remains to be seen, since they could've done the same during Feast pre-seasons and those queues are as dead as a door nail.



As I suggested in an earlier post, they should take the highest ranked character on the account for an account rating and distribute rewards to all characters on that account. You can play many alts in feast but only the highest ranked one would matter for top 100


Don't care is a rather strong word. It's better to say that they don't see PvP as worthy enough to dedicate resources to.
Sure the battle system revamp is nice, but what does it matter if all the core issues dragged over anyway?
