10/26 Update 3: We’ve rolled out a server-side hotfix that addresses exploits in the Fighting Pit rewards system that players were abusing through wintrading. Going forward, wins will only count towards Fighting Pit daily rewards if you defeat three or more enemy Mercenaries. This change will not affect how MMR is calculated after a win, regardless of how many enemies were defeated.
You need to destroy at least three enemy mercs to be awrded a win
Aha.
I was kinda sure I won more than that with three merc down.
But this change is very dumb. In this combo oriented meta people concede if the lose the 50/50 on turn one. Myself included. It just isn't designed for comebacks. Very VERY rarely does people stick around so they have 3 mercs killed.
Pvp is dead now. Getting rewards is impossible now.
Also, this shouldnt affect my 6000 rating rewards. I'm 6500 now and still no rewards. It's bullshit.

in fact i do it too so no one get rewards anymore....... fuck the police xD

Yeah but why sit there and wait for the opponent to kill you off when you have literally no chance of winning. So they get their reward? Yeah that's not how the world works lol
Aside from the fact that it's completely dumb, how this exploit worked in the first place? They went wint level 1 team in order to be matched against each other or what?

I think they just instantly conceded. If everyone does it everyone gets quick rewards.
They could have just made it so you'd have to kill 1 merc for the win to count. 3 is too much. No one stays that long

Have a team where 5 Mercs have the same color. Then instant concede if your opponent has 5 of the dominating color eg. red concedes vs blue
"10/28 Update: After watching the data since our October 26 update, we are currently rolling out an update to the Fighting Pit rewards system. Going forward, wins will count towards Fighting Pit daily rewards if you defeat one or more enemy Mercenaries, instead of three. We believe this will continue to curb the unacceptable wintrading behavior while also allowing players to be awarded for legitimate games that are decided early. We will continue to monitor the data to see if any further changes will be needed going forward."

Oh there are rewards for PVP ? I didn't even know that lol, maybe I should engage in it. Are they farmable or is this just one daily reward ?
There's daily rewards as well as rewards for reaching Ratings thresholds. So if you get 5000 rating then you get a reward, same for 6000. etc. There's a bunch of different ones and you get them instantly and not at the end of the month, like you usually would.

I've won like 20 pvp games today and I only got credit for 2 wins. I got the first reward chest and the second one is 1/2.
Also I hit 6000 rating and didn't get any of the rewards, which should have been a ton of coins and a pack.
Buggiest game mode ever?
In my young days bugs were something you had to live with since they could not patch the game.
Yeah I'm closing in on 40 myself so I remember :).
However it also meant that games, unlike today, were shipped when they were actually finished.
They hotfixed the concede exploit.

There was a "hotfix" rolled out yesterday:

Pvp is totally dead now. Won 20 games now and not gotten a single win count towards the reward chest.
Blizzard went full retard on this one...

so if your opponent concedes after losing 2 mercs, you get nothing. Team 5 has never heard of unintended consequences.
