Rewards for higher SBMM are lackluster

Personally I hate SBMM, but if they really are gonna go through with it, the rewards seem incredibly lackluster compared to how sweaty and stressful games will become at higher levels.

Receiving "up to 250,000 BP" is just not very substantial considering how much it costs to clear even one bloodweb, not to mention that players with higher MMR likely already have a ton of stuff, making the BP useless for many.

They ought to experiment with giving out Iri Shards as reward to make people want to climb the ranks, because as it stands there is probably going to be an increase in smurf accounts from people who hate the stressful games with basically no reward.

    The Grade (old ranks) that determine your rewards are separate from your MMR SBMM uses.

    The SBMM is not linked to the Grades (which will replace Ranks). Grades will be earned by Pips. Obviously, if you do well, both Grades and SBMM will increase, however, if you are doing poorly, you might lose SBMM, but Blackpip and not lose Grades. So someone who is at the highest Grade is most likely someone who plays a lot and not necessary someone who is very good at the game.

    Also, you cannot lose that many Pips anymore (I would guess, once you reach a new Color, those count as Checkpoints), so you can do poorly over multiple games, losing SBMM in the process, but not losing Pips anymore, because you reached a Checkpoint.

    4 or 5 additional bloodwebs to what you would already be getting. And if you play both killer and survivor, it's 500k.

    A half a million BP dump all at once, even if only once a month, isn't something to sniff at.

    I don't think giving more BP than that would be a good idea, but it would be cool if there was an Iridescent Shard prize thrown in there as well, maybe 'up to 1000' per role.

    Agreed they need to increase the reward.

    to be fair if you are someone who doesn't play both roles chances are you'll only get the 250k on one

    That is a fair point, and perhaps there could be another bonus reward in there somewhere. Something like, "If you get to 250k on either Survivor OR Killer, you get a bonus 1000 Iridescent Shards".

    You would get more bp much more quickly by staying at a lower elo and being able to spare the perk slot for bbq and just one hooking everybody while slapping them and letting them heal to do it a few more times or to slug them all a couple of times and then intentionally missing a lot of swings and breaking off chases to start new ones while also being able to have more fun ironically in spite of how tedious that may sound. Unless they give out a significant amount of auric that is how I'm going to play always having four escapes. Which is already how I play doctor most of the time anyways since it's just fun to chase them around and hear them getting zapped and I do that for the lulz. And some still get mad lmfao. hell if I came back while waiting for evil dead I don't even think I will play killer ata ll again and if survivor hit 5 minute queue length I would just permanently uninstall and consider the game truly no longer playable

    This rewards are for play time. You get absolute nothing for a high elo.

    I knooooow. I want shards too. Or give us a cosmetic to like strive for y'know? One that won't be in shop til next year or something.

    I don't NEED blood points really anymore? All I'm going to do is get some perks on like 2 characters I occasionally-ish play and then pour them all into Kate for items?


    HOW TO FIX THIS THOUGH is to allow us to exchange blood points for shards.

    We can exchange shards for teachables, shards for blood points, shards for cosmetics.

    Why not blood points for shards? IT COULD BE A SMALL AMOUNT.

    and your time is used more productively farming a lower elo than running around in miserable chases or looking for stealthy swf on comms imo

    Yh but the point is that there is no choice. You can get the 250k bloodpoints and farm bloodpoints in a low elo at the same time.

    The rewards should be increasing your bloodpoints limit to over 1 million
