Was there even a need to reduce coin rewards?

Since last event the coin rewards has been nerfed to ground. Is there really a need for this other than being another mean to halt the players progress?

You can contribute and deal all the damage in the world, but if you're on the losing team you get 3 measly coins. A lot of people just gave up mid battle whenever they're on big score disadvantage now because there's no incentive to continue fighting. Why bother putting an effort when you're most likely to lose and get 3 coins anyway?

I'll be happy if anyone can provide any reasoning why the coin rewards need to be reduced so drastically.
The previous rewards system was fine, only need some adjustments to increase fixer's heal contribution.

 

I feel like this was done for a couple of reasons.

First, it keeps the emphasis on winning the match, not just spamming as much damage as possible.
Secondly, it stops the instances where players on the losing team earn more coins than players on the winning team.

Personally, I think the reward payout is fine.

Anyone who gives up before the match is over is short sighted, IMHO. A well timed/placed mine/torp can change things instantly. Always fight to the end, you just never know.

 

Odds of this happening are very low when the other team jumps out early and stays out. Especially if they have a fixer. OP is correct. We need a surrender button now that the loser coins are nerfed out of existence.

People weren't just spamming damage before. They just didn't know how to play any different. Nerfing loser coins has not stopped people from poor play that I can see.

 

While it's crude, spamming as much damage as possible is a legitimate strategy to win the match. Im fine with anyone doing that as long as they don't actively feeding the enemy team.
As for the instances where the losing team earns more coins, devs could simply make an adjustment where the best player on the losing team earn the same coins as the worst player on the winning team. 3 coins is just insultingly low. It makes you feel like all the effort you put into the match was for nothing.

I agree with oggog, if the devs intended to keep the reward as it is now, just give us the surrender button so we can stop wasting time playing matches where we know we're gonna lose.

 

I agree that not every game will get a Hail Mary equalizer. You win some, you lose some.

You’ll always have bad players, regardless of the rewards. Some people just wanna watch the world burn.

If we can earn 6+ coins per match, what’s the point in even trying to win? There needs to be some incentive, and minimal coins for the losing teams is logical. Just curious, why do you think we need/deserve more coins for a loss?

 

The extra gold and sugar rewards is enough incentive for someone to put some effort to win the match.
Also bonus coins.

 

There is, it’s called the “Auto” button.

But seriously, who on the team gets to make that call? First boat killed? Last boat standing? What if you’re other teammates don’t want to surrender?

I get it, earning minimal coins sucks. I should know my event track record is less than stellar, way more loses than wins. But to earn that many coins for a loss? Might as well start asking for more stars when we lose in ranked matches too.

 

I don't care if we don't get loser coins, just don't make me stay in a match that is 10-2 loss. Matchmaking sucks horribly bad and you make me sit through a fleeted 5k match when my teammates are all 2k? C'mon. Either give me a surrender button where if 3 or 4 of the 5 teammates vote to surrender it's over, or give me loser coins so I don't throw my phone through the window in frustration at the game. Game should be fun. Losing a close match can still be fun. Losing a blowout cause of a mismatch is just a horrible experience all around and a huge waste of time.
