The 20% statistic has been proven wrong by so many people. It is about 20% for a very small subsection of players that never did club league and never pushed end of season brawl pass rewards. If you are a regular player who did everything you could to maximize progression, then the buff is around 2%(with way less control on what you get). Most people fall somewhere in between.
It’s the opposite - the majority of the players get a bigger progression buff (even more than 20%) The super engaged player who plays all modes and completes the pass still gets a buff, but a smaller one
The only nerf was to the freedom of progressing your account, but this change is intended because it’s exactly this variable that allows us to inject more resources into the economy without making it unhealthy to sustain the game
One thing I see though, something in the communication didn’t go well, because it is a progression buff, but a lot of players perceive it as a nerf, so we could have communicated it better or added something in-game where it would clearly show the benefits of this new system
And only so this doesn’t get too long, there are more insights about the feature here if you are curious about it:
