But why? Why would Blizzard stop giving out top 500 player icons for players who have earned the same as players in OW1 who did get such icons and can still equip them in OW2? How is that fair OR fun?
I just ended top 500 in season 5 for the first time on my main account and I didn’t receive the icon and frankly, I’m quite disappointed because I’ve been working towards that goal since the old rewards were available back in OW1. Blizzard really doesn’t seem to want us to be happy with our accomplishments in their game. In a handful seasons or so there won’t even be a record anymore of my first season ending top 500.
