Your rewards are not tied to skill. They are tied directly to how much you’ve spent/how long you’ve played. Only big spenders or the most ancient of accounts can reach the highest reward tiers. Your skill is irrelevant. Strange they even call it skill based. They should just be honest and call it the “how much you’ve spent/how long you’ve played rewards based system”

Of course you need to play for some time to get the best rewards, this isn't a FPS. You're building up over years, how frustrating would it be if someone could come around the corner and defeat you with bare hands. If you want to win by pure skill go and play some COD or Overwatch or whatever is hip this week.

I agree that players that have spent/played forever should benefit in some way but what incentive is there for a new player to attempt to be competitive? How do you propose a newer player catch up?

Spending alone wont do it unless everyone near the top agrees to stop spending so they can catch up.

Simple: You don't. Why is everyone thinking that you need to catch up on players being there for years? You have your own enemies to fight with - other new players. You can still be competitive even on low end, there's just no need to target veterans except when in your own mind "being competitive" means "making everyone lose no matter how long they have played or how much they spent".

The skill rating system is flawed simply because if you're a good player ultimately you'll be facing an uphill battle every time against a bigger roster.

That's exactly what i have to deal with. My 2 GLs and no Executor against enemies with at least 3 GLS and Exe most of the time. But guess what? I'm somewhat able to hold my Kyber 2 for some reason even though i have to get creative so it's actually my skill keeping me in place when the game tries to lower my skill rating as hard as it can.

The reason isn't your skill. They suck, don't care, or are intentionally tanking their rating. CG put the word skill in the ranking system and now everyone wants to pat themselves on the back. It was a slick move on their part and a lot of you bought fully into it.

Yeah, sure, every single of my enemies with always more than 7 million GP suck, don't care or don't even try. Of course my development and years of time spent getting there hasn't anything to do with my wins, why would it? You're the one doing the slick move on me buddy.
