Return of Reckoning

SC rewards as they stand are a grind, if your lucky in a good game you might get 8, and considering you have a constant streak of luck getting 8 emblems a game, playing a modest 20 games a day, it would take you about 10 days to get 1600 emblems (around the amount you need to fully kit out with emblem gear), now whilst this is highly unlikely it would probably take on average around 1-2 months of grinding to get your full set (which is ridiculous IMO but not what this is about). Now this is made harder by the fact that when playing a SC and your team gets wiped, not having 100 points means the entire team gets no emblems, which is a massive kick in the teeth, further more the fact that your team not performing well or the fact that a premade on the enemy team is kicking your butts, you do not get any emblems from rolls, my suggestion is that the losing team gets 3 emblems at 0 points, half of that which is awarded for winning at 500 points, 6 emblems. Then you can bridge the gap as such, 200 points 4 emblems, 400 5 emblems, and 500 for 6 emblems. Or if you want it to go by increments of 100, simply do it as such. 3 emblems at 0 points, then each 100 points increase emblem reward by 1, at 500 this would give winning team 8 emblems, which is not too much of an increase, still requires a grind yet still rewards players if they lose.

On top of reducing the grind slightly, it will significantly improve players opinion of scenarios, even if they are getting wrecked by premades, they can at least get some reward out of the scenario after it ends.

This would not only reward players for losing but also encourage AFKing in Scs.

You could have an afk kick system implemented, kicking people who afk longer than 30 seconds in spawn. And some form of anti-cheat to prevent bots from moving every 29 seconds to prevent kicks. And ofc people would report people found to be abusing the system.

Welfare has also resulted in more effort out of the human species, right? What I don't understand is how some people can think of playing the game as a grind. Play the game, enjoy your time and gear will come eventually.

Or you could just get a premade of your own and stop getting 0 points in SC's.

I feel Penril's law incoming, the train has left the station.

Besides, there are plenty of PUGs who spend their time back-capping or snatching the part and still get some emblems...

I don't. I feel this thread should be locked, and people should stop asking for free stuff at minimum effort.

It's not asking for free stuff, its asking for reward with time put in, even if that time put in results in losing, or just allow people to leave games where they get smashed, not sure if it is a feature but I imagine there are penalties for leaving matches early. I'd rather leave a game getting smashed then stand around for 5 minutes waiting for the game to end knowing i'm not going to get any emblems (and generally trying to get more points just ends up in the opposing team farming emblems) , it's what you call "not fun", plus the "Premade" team, honestly reason I don't premade now is to not gank pubbies, I believe in fair and equal gameplay, I'd support premades fighting premades any day, and let us "pubbies" fight on our own, atleast then we can put it down to one team being more skilled than the other within fair random bias. And the argument that premades would have nobody to fight, well not our problem. Go and organised a premade fight, your clearly bothered enough to form a premade, so form a premade against you as well, unless the whole point of forming a premade was just to gank, which if it is then all i can say is shame.

Agreed.
