Ranked Season Rewards (Post your ideas!)

Community General Discussion

I have a few idea in mind for rewards.

I like the idea of giving out a season 1, 2, 3…etc exclusive reward but I believe there should also be rank specific rewards as well.

Now bear with me.

Much like League of Legends and other Moba games, players reach a certain rank in the ranked playlist and are awarded the division specific border and icon.
For example, if you finish the season off Silver 1-5, you ware awarded a silver loading screen border and an icon for the season. But what I see in the current awards for the ranked season is a bit similar to the Hearthstone award system. You finish your 10 placement games in any playlist and are awarded the season exclusive rewards. But the difference in the season rewards in Halo and other games are that there is an actual goal to getting these rewards. Something you work hard towards. Reaching Gold tier in League of Legends awards you with a free skin specific to that season only. Reaching level 20 in the ranked playlist in Hearthstone gives you a new card skin, then reaching the “Legend” rank (much like our Onyx or I would say Champion rank) you are awarded an exclusive “Legend” card skin. For Halo 5, you simply have to play 10 games and you get the rewards everyone else can get. A bronze player will get the same rewards as a champion player just because he afk’d all 10 games.

I know the ranked season literally JUST started but these are just my ideas and concerns. Hopefully everyone will understand that I am in no way shape or form an complaining about a system just released and is new to Halo.

Keep in mind that I’m not saying that 343i should make the changes to better the game, but consider the options they have as well.

Make sure to post your comments, thoughts and concerns. And most importantly, ideas are always welcome.

Instead of giving us all the same thing just for getting our placement matches done in at least playlist, they could reward us depending on where we got placed. The first armor we saw for the game was Athlon, so I kind of see an Athlon Spartan as sort of a mascot for Arena. They could make a set of Athlon armor for each division, and have the logo of the division on the shoulders and chest like they did for the HCS skin, but also have the season number clearly visible on the armor somewhere. If you make it to Diamond, you get the Athlon Season 1 Diamond variant, and the color scheme would be done how the HCS skin was done, except the colors would be the colors of the division (blue and black for Diamond, for example)

They could either change up the rewards for each season (Athlon armor this season, AR skin next season, emblem for Season 3, ect.) or just give us a full suite of things for each season like we got in the HCS pack. Using Diamond as the division example, if we finished the season with Diamond as our highest rank out of all the playlists, we could get a Season 1 Pack that gives us Athlon Season 1 Diamond armor, a Season 1 Diamond emblem, a Season 1 Diamond AR skin, and a Season 1 Diamond Magnum skin. Unlike past Halos, Halo 5 lacks any sort of cosmetics that show off accomplishments (minus the emblems for how high we ranked in the beta), and I think having division rewards would be a good way to show off your achievements in the game, much like EOD for beating Halo 3 on Legendary, or the Reach Waypoint armors that made you do all sorts of stuff across different Halo games to unlock them
