Gods Unchained: Should I Derank for the Weekend?

As everyone will already know, the weekend ranked event had some major tweaks a few weeks back to discourage the supposedly high ranking from deranking and trampling over normal players like me 😂

Fight Where You Shine Best! 💍
The question we all have is... should I play at Mythic, Ethereal Diamond or Solar Gold? (Sorry to those Auric Gold and below) The answer will be pick your fight at the place which gives you the best rewards or most packs!

My Arena 😎 Mythic or Solar Gold!
For me, without intentionally deranking, I am usually moving between Diamond and Mythic. Based on my past record, my average wins are around 12 (Mythic), 15 (Diamond) and 18 (Solar Gold). Yes, my win rate isn't that high (still trying to improve my deck with whatever cards I have).

So, for that, I will get...
Outcome A: 3 Core Epic, 1 Expansion Rare, 2 Expansion Epic if I played at Mythic
Outcome B: 3 Core Epic, 1 Expansion Rare, 1 Expansion Epic if I played at Diamond
Outcome C: 1 Core Rare, 3 Core Epic, 1 Expansion Rare, 2 Expansion Epic if I played at Solar Gold

Personally, I value the expansion packs more. All 3 outcomes give me the same number but if I managed to get one more win or if I'm unlucky and get one more loss, Mythic (11 wins) and Solar Gold (17 wins) seems to be the better choice.

Upcoming Weekend!
I know it is only Wednesday (Tuesday for some people) but I'm already planning for my weekend. 😁 I will fight at Mythic and aim for that 13 or even 14 wins! Seems like the Gods Unchained team successfully prevent me from deranking. Good job for coming up with this new reward table! 👍

How about you? Where will you fight? Where will choose to shine at?

They worked on system so hard to make it not worth de ranking at all. And it is not so try your best next week

Definitely! Gotta try it out at Mythic to see if I have improved 😁

It's absolutely not worth it to play in Diamond, you're gonna get matched with Mythic players anyway, so just enjoy the game and fight it out in Mythic! It's honestly not that bad. Wish you all the best for your weekend matches!

The short answer: after the new rewards and the inclusion of GODS rewards, never derank. 1 win in Mythic is worth the same # of GODS as like 15 wins in Ethereal Diamond.

Agree! But one should also see if he/she can "survive" in Mythic. Rather demoralising if you keep losing. But let's see! Looking forward to weekends as always! 😎
