So no surprise proving grounds must have had some beyond terrible participation as plarium has announced they are pausing the mode after the current rotation for re evaluation of the mode. 

I placed in top 10 of my groups both rotations, and I can not stand this mode and was planning on sitting out completely for the next rotation unless in the rarest of chance I already had 3 of the 9x champions from the pool built.

Where did this mode go wrong? For me I will list in no specific order huge problems 

1. Extremely P2W leader boards. The only reason I can place is my account is over 6 years old of daily play.

2. Scarab boss, stop no one likes having to go and mess up their gear changing accessories for one boss for one fight.

3. Fights are way too overturned. Like wtf even is this. Sorry anyone that does not have a massive champion collection and means to build them very end game. Early game and mid game accounts have no chance.

4. Another huge timesink in a already inflated time commitment of a game. Also back to scarab boss, this pita guy will waste 10-20 minutes STOP.

5. Rewards, the new relics seem pretty decent. Relic crafting is another topic, as from 2 rotations now minus leaderboard Rewards I will get tomorrow, I got one colescense relic and its great but damn, 1? All the other Rewards like accessories just suck and are not worth it.

This post is long and ranting enough, but im sure some of you guys have other complaints/problems with the proving grounds and maybe ideas to pass on to Plarium on how to make it not suck.
