Anyone remember when mercs didn't even have an interrupt? Took to about 1.4ish I think, no idea about Dev logic behind the merc class, especially its survival in arenas
Not sure why they attach a number to it before the seasons over anyways, they should just say "top 1% gets these rewards, etc" and then when the season ends, say what the cutoff was depending on their metrics.
Keep in mind that they've releases rewards a good month before season end as opposed to all the other seasons 2 weeks before end. So stop complaining. The point of them doing this is to get more people q'ing and for longer.
