Ladder climb too slow?

I would love to get to Master Level (for some of the loot) in the ranked ladder but I feel like it is too slow.

To reach 2020, assuming a 66% win percentage (which is very high) you would have to win 201 games out of 300 total matches at 20 pts per win (and - 20 pts per loss). Is 300 games in a month really expected??

Also, I am assuming that points reset at the end of the month (which happened to me but only been playing a month).

This seems to be an impossible number to reach unless you are grinding many hours per day.

Does anyone else feel the same? Or is my opinion an outlier?

    It is a crazy grind alright. And it seems it's not a monthly reset but an ELO squish.

    I was at 1520 prior and down to 720 after, but it's super sweaty down lower now.

    Also doesn't help when the game takes the occasional 220, 420, 1020 points for a loss 😭

    monthly resets only set you back 1 league (great to poke, ultra to great, master to ultra)

    for example, i started this month at 720 and my goal is to hit master, every day i play until i get 60 extra points (+3 wins). I'm currently at 1500, which means i have 14 days to get 520 points.

    I don't think i am "hard grinding", just playing a few games every day, and I'm probably going to get master unless i get in a really bad lose streak.

    The battle pass and the ladder have an insane grind.
