In Patch 13.14, the rank thresholds for some Clash challenges were lowered, probably in an effort to compensate for the reduced Clash frequency.
However, these changes were not nearly enough (except for Coordinated Clash). The current requirement to get Challenger in Clash Champion is winning 300 brackets. Considering that about 99.8% of players haven't even won 3 brackets since Challenges came out, this is ridiculous. As far as DarkIntaqt can tell, the highest rank anyone has reached so far is Gold in Clash Contenders and Silver in Clash Champion.
With two Clash days per month, i.e. 24 Clashes per year, getting to Master (not even Challenger) in
- Clash Champion takes 150/24 = over 6 years,
- Clash Contenders takes 480/(24*3) = over 6 years.
That is, if you play every Clash and win every game.
Now, in case someone who can do something reads this, let me use the opportunity to suggest better thresholds for the ranks:
Clash Contenders: 2-5-10-18-30-45-70-100-150
Clash Champion: 1-2-4-6-9-12-15-20-25
Also, there's a bug with Dream Team where you only get the points if you play consecutive Clashes with the same team. If you play with another team, you lose your points and go back to 1.
While we're at it, why not make Scoreboard have GM/Challenger rank with an API-supported leaderboard? Clash Champion and Clash Contenders have it, so there's no reason why Scoreboard shouldn't, right? (Please.)
