Okay let's be real, who wants in diam+ players that literally hate the mode and just grind it for their shinies anyway?

Not me. I can make it doesn't mean l like it. Too stressful. I'd rather have it to be a long grind. And l do agree with that person on first page. I don't see how a bronze finally getting a weapon after 4 seasons of grinding would invalidate someone that can get to top 100 to get 2 weapons per season.

It's been a while for me to confirm, but I'm fairly sure you don't go back to Unranked even after the 2 automatic tier drops at the start of each season. And even if you did, you only need to win a few games (no star penalties for losing) to get into Bronze. There is no 'grinding' required for Bronze unless you are intentionally queueing with only 2 buttons on your PvP hotbar, auto-running into walls and are entirely banking on being carried.

You can make an argument for needing to "grind" to get into Silver, but even that's not saying much. To me, it is less about invalidating anyone and more about neither encouraging effort or any prolonged participation by letting people sit at Bronze every season (by not deranking to Unranked) and getting rewarded for it.

Just for confirmation, yes, you do get demoted to unranked if you don't play for 2 seasons. But it's not exactly difficult to win the games needed to get back into bronze.

Ok sure... I see your point, but back then in ranked feast, before you hit bronze, you don't lose Any point when losing. So, l still don't see how give fraction of a weapon to a bronze player has any issue. Ok, maybe at least silver So it takes more effort, but putting it behind diamond is a bad idea because people will use "alternative method" to get it just like ultimate's totems.
You know what? I already got what l wanted. I am not touching ranked again until some new rewards in future Or If such change occurs. The stress is just not worth it.
