Suggestion on augmented hellhound

[Eastwall]

I hope someone in charge actually see this... So l don't get why aren't the medals for glowing hellhound weapons handled like how ranked feast handed out wolf collar back then. You will get something even in bronze, But l think bronze only get 3 collars per season and 10 collars are needed for one weapon. I mean that sounds like a reasonable system to me. Am l wrong about this?
Yes, l made it to crystal, But l Just feel the system can be better Thus this post. I know people might use ultimate's glowing weapon as an example of why the glowing hellhound weapons are locked behind diamond ranking and higher. Well, people will find some method to get these things anyway and that's why the legend titles are a joke now.

Have my updoot!

Its to encourage people to keep playing ranked and try to climb. If bronze players could get it then no one would try.

[Valence]

No one tries either with the current system so...

Agreed on almost all points. The only difference I'd add is certain ranks guaranteeing weapons. Numbers arent't set in stone but here is an idea:

Bronze - 2
Silver - 4
Gold - 6
Platinum - 8
Diamond - 10
Crystal - 10 + x based on Crystal Rating

While taking time to achieve, it would ensure with medium performance of 1x gold and 1x silver you'd get a weapon. It would also continue promoting reaching higher to get it faster / get more.

Its to encourage people to keep playing ranked and try to climb. If bronze players could get it then no one would try.

I disagree for two reasons:

• Ranked over time suffers from lower tier queue issues, promotion to play even as a lesser skilled player should exist. Ranked rewards such as collars were on every tier, so should be Comm. Crystals
• lower ranks having a shot over multiple seasons (which is between one or more major patches) would not invalidate getting them faster or even more if you go higher. It would also not mean that people would suddenly stop trying less, Id argue people would try more outside of Diamond and Crystal without feeling their effort amounted to nothing because they didn't reach Diamond.

If they caved and awarded it for lower ranks, I just wouldn't give anything to Bronze ranks. There's almost no effort at all required to achieve it it. Anyone who never even uses Recuperate or deals only a fraction of the 2nd-lowest player every match they're in shouldn't be rewarded. Not even after multiple seasons.

Rewarding that rank does nothing to incentivize players to keep playing when you can achieve it in under an hour and then quit.

The main issue is that diamond and crystal players do not want to lose their prestige. But also lower rank players don't want to climb for nothing. If they allowed everyone to augment reward weapons and give some special, meaningful reward for diamond and crystal ranks, things would be more balanced.

They could also just give them something else as prestige... or incentivise high rank play in other ways

If only there was a system that used to do that.

If you are top 100, you get "of xxx conflict" title when the season ends. So yes, that kind of reward exist.

You are correct, but that reward along with the same repeating Framer Kits are as boring as they can get, which is not worth the effort you have to put into that.
