^ All of them are the same thing for every character. I guess we stopped trying and gave it the Bio treatment huh? Question: do you honestly expect people to que up for Ranked duel for these very mediocre looking ornaments that furthermore are no longer even unique to each character?
I have to say this is a big let down. You might as well have left the Season 4 and 5 Ranked ornaments as the rewards rather than deciding to completely phone it in like this for Season 6's ornaments. Ranked duel was already struggling to get more players to play it and now you choose to downgrade literary the only reason people even put up with the obscenely long wait time to find a tournament to play in.
This is sub par quality work and will not help ranked duel obtain a decent player pool, in fact it will actually lower the player pool further because these ornaments - and I mean this one single copy/pasted ornament - are/is underwhelming as all hell. At least leave the Season 4 and 5 ornaments and alternate between them until you can create another set of unique ones for each hero. As it stands this decision will completely kill off what little interest ranked duel held for players.

Can't say I am surprised the least. It is the exact same pattern they took with Faction War ornaments, where S1 had distinguished unique ornaments for each hero in S1 then dropped to a shared single ornament.
If they follow the same pattern *maybe* they might make one ornament each for each faction in next season tournament rewards, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
At that point I am certain they realized what every player during Closed Beta for Tournament told them; making Ranked work as a tournament was a stupid idea in a game with such low activity. It should have been Ranked Duels, with rewards given at the end of season based on rank. Now they are cutting the costs for dead game mode they wont invest anymore and will it leave in beta forever.
They were so out of touch with the reality of the game they even added preliminary rounds thinking there would be 16-32 people at the start of every tourney. There are times I just can not comprehend how come those guys keep their job.

This is very, very unfortunate.When I saw those ornaments, I was thinking: "I want none of those". Feathers on a Shugoki, or Raider? No thanks.
Duel Tournament needs a big shake up.
A five point plan to revitalize Duel Tournament.
https://forums.ubi.com/showthread.ph...uel-Tournament
1. Make the tournament a special game mode, it's only natural to not have tournaments open all the time. Have it open on weekends, Friday to Sunday. This will direct the activity to a shorter time span and will results in better matchmaking.
2. Introduce a 1vs1 ladder that is always open, for competitive play during times the tournament is closed.
3. Increase the steel and XP rewards by 50%. Reward forfeit wins as well.
4. Each season, issue a season order to get a placement rank in Duel Tournament. This order rewards 2000 steel. Once this order is completed each weekend you get an order to participate in a Duel Tournament. This orders rewards 500 steel.
5. Create reward tiers depending on which rank you achieve after the season is finished. If you finish higher up in the ranks you get more interesting rewards.
Bonus
6. The whole tournament needs to be snappier. The wait timer in between matches needs to be cut down by half. I'm not talking about waiting for the other matches to finish, I mean the actual time when the all matches are decided until your next match starts.
Do we really need to see the whole "Whetstone Wankers vs Screaming Ballsacks" intro? It's irrelevent, no one cares. Scrap it.

This is pretty pathetic. They should have just kept the old ornaments. They were all cool. Now they're removing the unique ornaments that people actually like... To give everyone the same ******** looking ornament. Nobody is gonna play ranked. Such ****ing nonsense lol. Just remove it from the game. Nobody plays it anyway. I'm soooooo disappointed

I guess im not going to play ranked this season.
Why should i play a gamemode full of toxicity (more than usual) climbing up to diamond which is ****ing sweaty and then get some ugly *** ornaments and not even a season rank reward?
Why is there even a rank system if you dont get a rank reward?
People want to show off so why dont give them a rank based emblem outline?
That would be more than enough reason to play tournament
