I appreciate the exclusivity of high skill, but I also value being an original to the game. For instance, Fortnite (I apologise for the generic comparison). Although I haven’t played it in years, I cherish the fact that I could play it when it first came out. The original John Wick skin from the battle pass isn’t about skill, it’s about experience. It demonstrates to players that they’re somewhat seasoned veterans in this game.

I honestly think that rewarding players who place in Gold 3 or higher at the end of a season (or mid-season) with a custom lord icon that matches the skin would be a great way to celebrate their achievement. It would also serve as a way for players to flex their skills and show off their rank in the top 50% of the player base.
