New cosmetic type: name colors! (and ranked rewards in general)#940

The main idea of this post is a singular new cosmetic type, but I’ll also have some thoughts about ranked rewards generally in a bit - it feels like there aren’t enough rewards, unfortunately.

The reward type I’d love is name colors, which would take effect in the menus (and could have a “glow”/“background” color associated with each of them to make sure they stay visible on any background. These could also have “animated” versions at a higher rarity, like a rainbow color that constantly changes colors.

In terms of ranked rewards generally, they feel a little underwhelming. The emotes/icons cost an inane number of medals, which is obviously just to give people who grind ranked to have something to spend them on. However, a lot of the icons are very boring (which is fine, by itself), and a lot of the emotes are waaaaay too specific (which is also fine, by itself), and then once you have all the skins, there’s really not a lot to buy that you’ll ever use. I understand cosmetics are difficult to make quickly, and I love how many have already been pushed out, but I think giving more unique options would be nice. In particular, medal rewards feel quite low, which works when you grind ranked, but doesn’t scale that great for everyone in the future. I don’t know the solution to this, besides giving a separate outlet for medals (i.e. medals to coin conversion), which isn’t perfect either, but also gives some help to people trying to buy stuff with coins (since coin income is also weirdly low).
