They wouldn’t. Shuffle glad is the pennant.

it wouldnt be glad it would be legend. I think they should add a mount to shuffle maybe a different color from the current glad mount to give it more incentive or something but glad def shouldnt be obtainable through ss.

I doubt they will ever add Gladiator mounts to solo shuffle. If they did a lot of long time 3s players would probably quit the game because there would be zero incentive to play 2s or 3s, and thusly no incentive to play with your friends.
Shuffle is already the anti-social dungeon finder equivalent of arenas, we don’t need to compound the issue.

I don’t think they have the gall to implement the same mount from 3s. Assuming by next expansion the latest they will start adding a mount to shuffle, some sort of glad recolor perhaps. Or maybe even give it the Mythic+ treatment and provide a completely separate mount.
the incentive to play any video game is to HAVE FUN, not the rewards, when the rewards are the incentive the people quit as soon as they get them

People have fun riding the mounts they earned with their friends.

Must be nice 
Anytime i hit it off with someone they usually quit within a few weeks or months
Made a healing friend in RSS the other day and got to enjoy super chill 2s for the first time in months, now they are cycling back and forth between OW and Diablo.
Maybe it’s implicit warlock bias

Stop playing 2s, problem solved!
People also enjoy making and completing goals. Speed running is a great example. Games that lack a compelling reason to win are also generally not that much fun.
Glad mounts in solo shuffle would further increase the deflation in normal brackets making goals even harder to obtain. At that point it is counter-productive to “having fun,” because essentially the entire ladder would be high experienced gladiators and R1’s smurfing at every CR just curb stomping new players who even attempt to play it.
Yeah, and there’s nothing stopping anybody from just playing their preferred mode. 
Rewards are the only incentive to do anything, unless it’s a necessity.
You do the same garbage every season. How much fun do you really have being Polymorphed for the 411,000th time?
With how popular shuffle is, it should receive some kind of mount incentive. Seems like a fairly easy W for Blizzard. The 5 people still queing rated 3s can have their own special pixel color.

Considering every hard stuck rat like me at 1800 in 3s is wearing an elite title, they shouldn’t

Thing is, this happens in normal arena seasons too when inflation is out of whack. Granted probably not to the level of solo shuffle, but that’s moreso an issue of inflation getting crazy high, and devaluing non percentage based achievements.
You dont justify a bad decision with previous bad decisions

Wasn’t saying that. Was moreso saying it’s an issue with those markers being at their current set point, and not necessarily with the idea of rewarding people a mount for progress. I would have much preferred them change gladiator to top 1% or 2% before going for a set rating of 2400 just because of the rating swings. Feels like solo shuffle should require and extra 200 rating per reward regardless as a baseline. As for the percentage based things, I doubt they’re ever undoing that, so it’s a matter of putting a mount on the sticking point that we think shows at least some modicum of skill.
