New Series pass...

[Towa-Musa]

and now population for ranked skyrocketed, isn't that interesting?
maybe a more frequent series pass may be needed to keep CC afloat?

I think it helps that there's three decent rewards this time too, rather than just two.

They need to do something about the trophy crystals, though.

agreed 100% crystal shop needs much more.

All the new Crystal rewards are just recolors from 2.0. Thats how little pvp matters.

If they put anything rewarding for Ranked beyond what they have now, people would complain the rewards they want require effort than passively gaining EXP.

as i said long ago in a post about this whole thing: By taking away a need to do Ranked they eliminated true "fomo" of PVP but also doomed it to being not desirable to be ran at a competitive level. That and they also eliminated Win trading by removing the ability to make a team of people you can properly coordinate with on CDs and abilities.

Face it: PVP since it's inception in 14 has and always will be an afterthought compared to RPers and PVE players.

I somewhat disagree. I haven't seen a single difference with other seasons, or at least the last ones. It's just the beginning. I'm pretty sure it'll go back to dormant once most of the top players have reached crystal.

The crystal series rewards have nothing to do with ranked, since one doesnt need to queue ranked to get them.

I don't think it's an afterthought anymore considering the resources that have been poured into that whole rework. And it's even extremely successful on the casual mode, something that people constantly conveniently forget. That mode is the real winner.

Maybe they should just merge ranked into casual with hidden elo behind, so that you still get paired with people of similar skill, without turning into a massive competition with leagues and ladders that would turn off the casual players that make the mode. Then you only display the top 100 if you want to keep the top 100 titles and frames going and the competition at the top level.
