Compensation for Midwinter Patch Fail
No, not free kegs.
For many players, this season (if not the game as a whole) is truly ruined with unpleasant Dwarves Scoia'tael and partly Bear Skellige and some non-sense cards like Slave Driver. Some people gave a break until they are fixed and some quit entirely. I am one of the few people who still refuses to use that nauseating (to put it lightly)Dwarf deck and getting heavily penalised for not doing so and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this matter. Of course we are not the ones CDPR taking into consideration as long as people tick their hours in game but I won't be grinding my way to Rank 21 playing against mirrors all the time with a truly disgusting deck because of CDPR's admitted blunder.
"They apologised". So what?
A mere apology is not enough because there are many rewards I (and many others) would normally have, will be missing because of this patch. I'm not a top player, the most I got was R20 last season and reached top 250 for a day and that's about it. That's probably the highest I can ever get (even then I was complaining about Restore Skellige being OP. How naive...) but I refuse that most players that reached rank 21 this season got there with their own skill. CDPR should not be rewarding people for using broken decks and punishing who don't.
So what is a reasonable compensation for preventing all the fun and possible MMR we could have?
All players should be rewarded with all avatars exclusive to this season regardless of their rank if they played at least 10 ranked matches total this season.
This is the least you can do without any economical disadvantage. If anyone that has earned their rank rewards with their hard work (i.e grinding with autopilot dwarves) gets upset, I suggest to remove the MMR they earned with Dwarf deck to see if they really worth the rank. Deal?
