Are you guys lying or something?!
I have played dozens upon dozens upon dozens of ranked duels for the last several weeks now, every single one with Warden. Pegasus Rider still hasn't popped up, heck, I haven't even gotten A SINGLE ornament. Just a bunch of bad color arrangements and even worse paint patterns. Seriously, are the ornaments in the reward pool for ranked duels or are they not? By the way, before anyone thinks of being obvious, yes, these are duels that I am winning. Still nothing. I have toiled through dozens upon dozens of duels against black priors and shugokis who abuse and spam the broken nearly undodgeable shield bash + light, and unblockable heavy soft feint into free hug respectively, and to still not have received it at this point is just infuriating. Seriously, can you get Pegasus Rider or not? Because I don't want to be working for something I can't even get.

It's also really annoying when you have to deal with dishonorable fighters in ranked duels. Not only are there several people abusing way OP mechanics, but now there's also people who will straight up go for a freebie kill. I've run into plenty of people who don't move for the first several seconds or the first minute in a match, I've never attacked them and have let them come back to the game, showing they are ready to fight. I alt tab for 5 seconds to respond to something, and this Unitay player already killed me once in a match, and it was the only reason that he even won the match. Seriously, there's already enough stuff to inhibit getting these rewards, why make them so freak'n rare?

Hey Tasmann44,
The reward pool for Ranked duels are randomised, so you may unlock an ornament but there is no guarantee.
In regards to dishonorable players, regrettably, we cannot hold players to a certain code when it comes down to engaging in battles.
If you go AFK, it is nice for the player to wait for you to return so you can have a fair match, but not every player will do that.
Thank you for your understanding.

I wasn't even AFK...I had to alt tab for five or seven seconds....
Anyway, lost interest because today just now I finally got the Pegasus Rider, and I'm saying goodbye to the ranked duels for a really long time from now on. The player base is not involved enough in ranked duels and honestly it's just a nuisance to wait 10+ minutes for a match just to encounter someone who abuses OP mechanics and heroes. I highly recommend either making the rewards more attainable, added different types of ranked matches other than just duel, adding those tables to arcade mode, or revamping the way ranked works.

Awesome ornament is the reason people play ranked. That should be a known fact by now. Also, every tournament win is 100% ornament drop, so you just have to win a tournament, that's it.
I have every PvP ornament for all my played heroes (12 of them), because how easy it is to get them (win a tournament with 4 players is a free ornament), there's literally zero reason to complain. Not everyone deserve an ornament, it should only go to the best players. I am actually entirely against giving ornaments away in normal ranked duels unless the drop rate is like 0.001% or something. It's really not hard to win a tournament of 4 players (25% even if you are an average player, almost 100% if you are remotely capable).
Also, why is there no season 9 rewards yet? There's zero reason for me or any good player to PvP now.
