[2021] Playing enough Gambit to reset Imfamy is bad enough. But only getting 30 points for a loss on a 15,000 point grind is ludacris.

It just feels BAD!!!

I'm on 7857 Gambit rank currently.

Currently for a loss I get 30 points. Luckily, at the moment it's x3 so it's 90. But even THAT feels like no where near enough. If you get a bad run of games, you make almost NO progress.

100 base for a loss would be more like it.

TLDR: Basically the time investment for an Infamy rank reset feels faaaar to long and makes me feel bad about playing Gambit. Specifically the the points for losses being FAR to small.

EDIT: Just had a really bad streak of games where I lost 4 times in a row so far. If it wasn't triple XP for infamy I would have only got 120 points towards 15,000.

In a recent community manager response they said some minor changes can be made in season 15. But major changes will be seasons away. If that's true DO NOT make it a requirement for weekly challenges to play Gambit. It's not fair to the players in ANY way.

EDIT 2: u/pekeponzer has informed me that IS in fact going to be addressed, copy pasting their comment from below:

IIRC they said in a twab they're reworking gambit infamy to be more close to Valor. Gonna see if I can't find it.

Edit: Found the one

"These changes are a precursor to some larger improvements planned for Season 15 (e.g., introducing Vanguard reputation, rebalancing Infamy to bring a reset in-line with Valor, and more). We’ll have more information on those changes in a few months! "

Edit 3: This blew up pretty quickly.
