Currently getting a little tired of hard but not willing to risk rank on "practice" against the troll.
Loot means nothing, rather I value the time spent getting rank up, but with no way to practice the incentive is safely farming hard runs up through gold.
Because there isn't a place to accommodate the transition into higher risk runs with confidence I feel like the game rewards me more for running support gear in hard to farm up rank and collect thousands of silver end of season.
I feel like the solution to progression in the game is making two characters of the same class. One for progression and one for practice which I dont believe to be the intended experience.
Since there is support gear to aid in gear fear, why isn't there unranked solo for the players who want a clearer progression path aside from knowing you are going to be throwing away progression multiple times for "practice"
