2018 the end of Gwent?
I haven't played ranked at all last season so my rank was twice halved, down to rank 7. There my place on the global leaderboard was 100k+ but just a few games later I was already under 100k. That means that between ranks 8 and 21 there are less than 100k people.
We all know how easy it is to climb up until around 3k mmr. I can only imagine that at rank 1 you get around 60-70 points per win and lose 2-3 points every loss.
There can't be that many active people between ranks 1 and 7 so the population of Gwent is basically 100k, give or take a few thousand.
That's extremely small and with Valve's own card game coming out this year it will shrink even further.
They tried to change it in order to attract more people but it didn't seem to work. Why play something like HS when you can just play HS. Not to mention the many who stopped playing because of the changes.
We all know that the Witcher is the bread winner for this company. They don't have to make Gwent work. They can let it die if they want to. Do you think they will?
