I feel as if the ranking rewards are complete and utter ****. I mean getting a hero up to rep 20 just to unlock an armour colour that looks almost identical to a colour you unlock by default at rep 0. Also around 100 steel for every time you rep? I gain 100 steel from 2 games of dominion... after you reach rep 3 with a hero and you can get heroic gear every rank after that is pointless. Ranking a hero on this game feels like such a chore. Where's the reward?
I kinda wish they would drop the whole ranking reward system entirely and just adopt the Rainbow 6 model where you get currency for playing and then you can put it towards any skins, charms or headgear that you want.
Just let us buy the paint patterns, engravings and color patterns that we want with the currency we get for playing.
Not everyone has infinite time to play a single character all the way to 20+ prestige.
