Please, no pro ladder
It's a very bad idea, not liking it at all.
1. Normal ladder makes no sense anymore; yes you can play normal ladder, but this has devaluated to a grinding tool to rank and get kegs. It's no indication of skill (as the old ladder was) cause it's second level. On the other hand, even pro ladder is flawed. It favours people that play a shit load of games, and most people will just don't care about it and skip it.
2. The grind. I will probably make 400 games cause this is probably comparable to my daily gwent fix. But it is a crazy lot. Go on holliday or have some real life issues (or just a break in Gwent or other games to play): no pro ladder (at least for me that is) and you can even get kicked out of it.
Also pro ladder ranking is no indication of skill inless you have played 400 games. Only you're max mmr is shown, so I don't have a clue were my real mmr is and i've it's any good. Drop a few games and there is no indication were you're at and what you have to do to climb.
I hope that CDR will drop it and implement a faction specific ladder and drop the pro ladder. You have multiple ladders by faction and one combined one for best of 4 factions. This is kinda pro ladder, but fun for all. Have little time, only play one faction. People that play a lot can try to rank high for multiple factions and rank in the general ladder for crown points.
