they wanted to stop people with 1300 ratings to have the same gear of people with 2300 ratings. it was stupid.
Nope, it allowed the 1300 guys to compete fairly with the 2300 guys.
Now the 2300 guys starts with advantages over everyone else, so increasing the gap and consolidating their position. This makes the game much less mobile.
A fair system allows new players to enter. This one just consolidates and rewards the "leet". Gives them advantages.
This isn't even eSport. I'd love to see competitive matches where a Warcraft 3 players get more powerful units every time he wins.
And it isn't even better than the old honor system. The mechanic of having to keep the rank didn't last one patch cycle. It's exactly the same. In fact the arenas system goes further as the best gear is always mudflated as a new season starts. While the old honor system was fixed.
In short these new rules shirk the pool of players who will participate in the arenas. Making these arenas more the hardcore system it was supposed to be.
