I am stuck on 49 because I don't have enough initiative for basically auto winning on round 2 which determines which team will win. I got up to 55 once but then kept getting whaler teams with initiative advantage which set me back by 12 or so points. Now I am at 49 and normally I should be getting the 2nd best arena prize each month but they put restrictions on non-whalers basically which is you need to reach Max rank before you can receive your just rewards. I honestly don't understand why there was almost no opposition to this decision? that's like saying get to legend rank in a card game or you won't get monthly card rewards.

PS: before anyone gets all triggered, All I am saying is if we normally received our rewards there would be NO problems whatsoever as everyone would get the rewards they can earn based on their current initiative but instead of that we have an illogical restriction that forces everyone to reach MAX rank as soon as possible which leads to problems as everyone thinks they are receiving less rewards then they should.
