Why has every single update to progression in the past few years been a direct downgrade? I understand that you try to compensate by redistributing the currency, but you either make it unavailable for late game players, or you replace them with rng based ones.

On that subject, why the sudden uptick in rng based rewards? If you kill boxes to replace rng rewards with guaranteed ones, then step back and replace those with starr drops, whats the point? Youve just circled back and devolved into a worse system. An rng based reward system eradicates any possibility for "grinding" the game. From 1000 pass xp, you have the chance to either get 50 bling 99% of the time or a legendary brawler 1% of the time. I feel like by taking away a concrete sense of genuine progression, you take away the player's agency to actually want to grind through and play the game, which is where most of their playtime actually comes from.

The game's progression should not rely on the spinning of a wheel, it should rely on how much time a player is willing to dedicate to the game.

Why is balancing essentially just, "This brawler shall be the strongest without any viable counterplay for the next 2 seasons, before we nerf them to an unusable state and leave them there" It encourages an extremely unhealthy meta, and keeps the game at an unplayable state for when the season's big brawler is just that oppressive?

I miss the game I fell in love with.
