Designer here, no way on pair or better than Blizzard designers, but come on! Going in to my 3rd season and I still have a hard time telling what’s plat, diamond, gm, gold just by looking at them.
What’s wrong with different colors, sizes and numbers on medals or even different colored gemstones?
What even are those symbols supposed to be? Ants/Alien faces? And the colors are almost all the same.
the new rank symbols are clearly worse than OW1, but come on. they are not THAT hard to tell apart.
each rank is more ornate than the previous one. the progression between them is quite clear, especially if you look at the tier legend available in-game for about 5 seconds.
