Around the end of every season i had to play multiple more matches to make it to legendary just for the anticipated end-of-year reward. I grinded to top 10k in s3 to make up for the medal i didnt get in s2 cuz i wasnt able to make time for the legendary grind that season.

Never trusting codm again. They dont owe us anything, its free and nothing was explicitly promised. You see, respect wasnt promised. But i know to respect my time better next time, apparently by not giving it to these guys. (That is i won't grind extra and instead only play casual.., no need to open the game on daily basis or play many matches )
