rocks52 said: I see a lot of griping in here about the wins are far off from the progression rewards. My time slice started 1 hour ago, I have 23 wins and am currently at 473 points. I did 10 seeder wins, have been defeated at least 6 times, and still need 3-4 wins just to get to 575 (that's assuming no one else defeats me.) So that would put me at 27ish wins to finally get that 10 cp vs having gotten itd 9 wins ago (based on my current wins total).
If I am understanding you correctly, I am in the same boat as you are (earning rewards at FEWER points than at what they were previously allotted, thereby seeming to earn rewards faster under the new system), but we may be in the minority. I see a lot of lamentations from folks along the lines of "I have 28 wins and I am already past 900 points!".
But whatevs. It's working for us. High five!

I see a lot of lamentations from folks along the lines of "I have 28 wins and I am already past 900 points!". But whatevs. It's working for us. High five! That's exactly what I'm saying. In the old system, I got to 900 just once. every time I would reach that 825 prize, no matter what time of day it was, within the following 10 minutes, about 8 people would have defeated me smacking me down to around 640 points. If I was able to slog back up to ~820 points, the same thing would happen. The 900 point prize was seemingly impossible to attain. Now I can get up to 25 wins, 30 wins, and it doesn't matter if 1000 people beat me b/c I'm still at 30 wins. That 4* cover is actually attainable now. That's highly comforting
Literally every thing you are saying could have been typed by me and it would accurately reflect my own experience. Right down to the having accomplished 900 points only once (I even remember when mine was... it was at the end of the anniversary this year when Devil Dinosaur was the 900 reward. I didn't even WANT that one, I just kind of lucked into it when apparently my team was invisible to everyone else).
I have had the exact same experiences. I distinctly recall an event where a Mockingbird cover I coveted was the 900 point prize, and I went all-in on that. I shield hopped and played in big chunks between shielding to build up. And I remember being up at 5am EST when my shield expired (I had shielded at 750 or so). I played up to 819. And then after another battle, I came out to see I had lost 160 friggin' points in the what, 2-3 minutes one battle took? I was back BELOW where I started from with my shield. I kept playing, but I never even got back up to 750.
Ugh, that memory haunts me.
I DO wish they'd put the 15CP reward that used to be the 1200 point reward back in progression for the people that lost out on it. I feel bad for those folks. But other than that, wins-based has been an absolute boon to me.

Why am I playing to 2400 for a lousy single that used to go for 900??? And we won't even be around to say we told you so.
