@107737 My opinion is that this discussion is sterile. They wanted to start this badge at 20, and that makes it unique, and that's a good thing.
If 2k damage is easier than 10 kills, then that's a good surrogate.
We should not be butthurt about little things like that in the game, they are not really a problem. It is only a mere improvement for ego, but is massively less needed than improved netcode, better servers, better fist/close quarter fighting (nerfed down damages with a little faster punches so it is not so dumb compared to guns), damage tracking and better management of the queues and game modes (solo/no fill and so on), ability to play it local, too, with bots or friends.
I would be happy with only that if the game was to be forever the same after that.
Badges and cosmetics are just for the show. It doesn't motivate me. What does, is the ability to satisfy myself over kicking enemies down and winning, and this is why I play so much.
But I don't feel it is really broken at the time (apart for fist fighting), as far as balance and real game issues go (things like potato teamates and bad queues are known problems but they don't really come from "in game" design).
