Being only available for top tier players. Maybe for pro league players but definitely not only All-Star and higher.
Just read the blog and how random stadium is going to be at times depending on your team, this doesn’t sit well with me and I’m sure many others.
In concept I think high rank exclusivity like this is bad but the color scheme is so ugly that I couldn’t possibly care
Time to follow the best advice people have ever given on these forums then.
“Git gud”.
It’s only a recolor of default skin, nothing special about it.
It does not matter. Her mythic skin is coming out this season. Just use that instead.
Much prefer the skin be available to all for the grind up to Pro league since that’s when wins and losses count each other out.
Gate keeping is never good. Especially in a game-type which is meant to be uncontrolled chaos and even more team dependent.
It’s reward enough for the seasonal titles and seasonal gun buddies.
If you must obtain the high rank then the reward should stay there permanently for those to aspire to reach and receive (not just one season).
Lastly, this will legit cause boosting since anyone and everyone can party together in this mode and many will attempt to request and pay for a party to carry them through to get the skin.
That’s probably why it looks like a lower-effort skin. Like an epic or rare
I knew that people would be mad because they cant get a special-flex-recolor skin… I will also not get it, but I like the idea that there are skins in the game that you get as a reward for being good. Throwing skins out as participation rewards or for cash only gets kind of lame.
Its just a recolor. Relax… or get good.
I mean, drives are the exact opposite and terrible in their own ways. Drives are just participation rewards that weirdly enough can end up rewarding you for losing with easier games and checkpoints.
Ranked reward ouitside of pictures is great.
Maybe it would be better in regular ranked?
Doesn’t matter, I don’t want to play ranked that much regardless of where it is earned. So I won’t be getting it anyways. I imagine you’re in the same boat.
They’re trying way too hard to drive engagement (in other words increasing player time spent in game), and they’re doing it in some of the more toxic and obtuse ways available.
The thing is, if climbing the ranks is anywhere near as skill dependent as one would presume…what fraction of the playerbase is seriously going to be trying for it?
Ranked in this game is toxic and painful enough. I don’t see Stadium or rank-locked-skins making it better. I think it’s just going to make people more toxic.
Another advantage that Ana players are going to have by abusing their crutch hero for easy wins and earn them skin much easier than other players
From what we understand, this is not going to be an ELO system, but a progression based one, like the old portrait borders. This makes the skin simply grindable, if true.
the skins are also plain and basic so they arent worth it anyway
