The problem will be smaller next season because alt towers are abolished (most important fix for dom so far!), but it is certainly discouraging for new players to compete with people who have hundreds of scoops. Many will likely stop playing after finishing Episode 2 if they’d have to wait weeks before they even have a chance to win something

I’m not disagreeing with this, since it definitely will be a problem for people in lower groups, but I don’t think it’s quite as bad as you’re making out. If some of these extra medals come into play then it’ll only be a couple of weeks before the raiders are all out of the lower brackets anyway. Bringing back limited numbers of ties (probably a bad idea… ) or making the lower brackets much smaller would probably help too as all the chaos will mostly be over by the end of the first week.

How many klan vanilla raiders are there left at this point? 10 or 20? As far as I can tell, most of the people in the top few brackets are alts or skilled solo players. Now, they’ll almost certainly cause some carnage as they move up the rankings too, but that’s a whole different discussion (and still should sort itself out fairly quickly).

Frankly the start of a new season’s always gonna be a bit of a mess for the first few weeks until people settle into their appropriate places. At least this season won’t be nearly as bad as the last with alt towers gone.

Edit: Hurr. Me no have reading comprehension. Scully already said all this, and much more succinctly too.
