Agreed. Just start hitting the other shard folks during their PO and climb. Try to avoid the nicer folks and just hammar down the others.
My shard has a few friendlies and then it has Team Instinct. Some are great, one particular player is probably so bored out of their mind they kept bumping me down 11 hours before their own PO. So I started a grand scheme of picking a few targets on their shard list and focused on making their climb more difficult . The TI person is now online when they should be sleeping trying to keep me down. Small victory when I sniped 1st for my PO cause they thought I changed my PO. They even spent crystals to try to get me back down. But even GL Rey cant beat 2 GAS teams in 2 minutes apparently.
Anyways, they should move squad rewards to GAC so the whales can duke it out amongst themselves. I dont see much cheating in GAC anyways and if I do I doubt ill throw a fit for a few losses here and there if theyre sneaky cheaters. The obvious ones will be caught with .gg
