Not prying, just I think that's distinct from someone who logs in, is all pleased with themselves for playing through all the missions whenever, then wonders how the hell that guy has 11,000 points when they haven't broken 4,000 yet and they did all the missions the game gave them to do. I do suspect the experimental difficulty scaling these geniuses rolled out on a Friday afternoon is biting only the grindmonkies among us really hard, but I also can't imagine the bizarre scoring rules don't end up incredibly disheartening for a lot of the more casual crowd.

Only giving the good rewards to the top 5 players (2.5%) is just awful. Here are some reasons why: 1 - You need an amazingly good team to place highly, which means that Heroic Tokens are next to useless as a reward. Anyone good enough to place in a bracket where you reward Heroic Tokens has a very small chance to get something useful from them. I pretty much only need 3* covers at this point so I'm as likely to get something useful from a Standard pack as I am from Heroic. 2a - To get top 5 in these tournaments, you need some VERY specific knowledge on how to do it (i.e. understanding rubberbanding and reset times). This knowledge isn't widely available so it skews the results at the tops of the brackets towards the OCD among us. 2b - To get top 5, you need to play at very specific times. As someone with a baby and a job, I can't play at the perfect time every time. 3 - I score a pretty solid top 25 in these tournaments and getting 2x Heroic Tokens and no HP is basically like rewarding me 250+125+125 = 500 ISO for being in the top 10% or better. It really kills my desire to play when I know that it's impossible for me to earn good rewards simply because I have a life. Here's my suggestion: Either restore the rewards structure from previous tournaments, or change the structure of the tournaments so that you can win even with a life. I've given up on ever winning a tournament, but I enjoy the fact that I can still profit from a decent showing. I've been really happy with this game and I even dumped $20 in for some garbage rewards (hooray, tinykitty lottery system!) just to tip the devs. Let's keep the game fun for EVERYONE! EDIT - Oh and by the way, there's NO WAY IN HELL I'm paying 300 HP to enter a tournament when you structure them so that you have to pay to win (shields!).
