Because I was bored and probably a bit masocistic, I attempted the 40win/top10 in S3 CL8 for the Cat-5 event.  Note I am a f2p 5* player who hoarded and ended up with champ Thanos/BP.  Under the old system I would climb to 1200 and shield to the end, I had no interest in playing for the placement rewards.  Here is a comparison between when i got the rewards and where I would be with the old system.  (I only started tracking the higher end awards since old or new the early ones come very easily).  I ended up 8th in my bracket.

Final Score1905

Even at the 10 cp you can see I would have gotten in much earlier but for me the ugly part is at the top end.  It look less than 32 wins to get to where I would have stopped under the old system.  It took a score of 1905 and a number more shields to get to the same rewards as a would have gotten with less play under the old system.  Pretty much as I feared.  If the event wasn't being run on a weekend where I had nothing to do I doubt I would have gotten anwhere near this score but it was new and I had a kind of sense of morbid curiosity about how much more difficult it was going to be.

TLDR: half was probably an exaggeration but it takes a lot more playing for a 5* player to get the same rewards
