Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Why some of the challenges that were changed in the tome actually reduced the total fragments earned

The title sounds weird but lemme explain



None of the challenges say that the fragment count was changed, but this connects to the XP fragments you earn. The Original Key challenge was 8 keys used up, sounds like the total shards in it are cheap right? Nope. The amount of matches it takes to do this challenge can be alot, causing you to earn more than 2 fragments before getting the challenge done, so you could get 5 fragments for doing 1 non-master challenge and the master challenges can dish out ALOT MORE. Last Minute hero is a good example of this, this challenge is hard when in the higher ranks as alot of people can die before you reach EGC, but relied on luck for it to happen. When you got it you got 5 fragments not counting the fragments earned before finishing the match.


In summary, the challenges being changed actually in a way decreased the total amount of shards you can get per challenge


I am not saying that I hate that they changed these, last minute hero I hate, but currently with 4-5 challenges left BEFORE the change I can say that being tier 55 even though I never payed for tiers and can only play for a short time I.E every weekend or if I am lucky week, I can actually get tier 70 still off of these challenges
