Rift pass should have more rewards in the free tier (i've paid for all my passes)
I think that the rift should have more rewards in the free tier, along the lines of bloodpoints, iridecent shards and skin recolors just to buff out the areas of the pass where you don't get anything. nothing major mind you in order to not incentivize not buying the rift pass each rift, but along the lines of - well hey you made it this far, here's something to give you bonus progression.
Things like anything below t-25 giving small amounts of bp, from 1000, to 50,000. with tiers 25-50 giving either a lil more or some iri shards (like 100-200.)
or even just upon reaching big milestones within the rift (every 10-15 rift levels) granting a bloody party streamer across all charecters, or something like that.
also having more recolors of previous outfits, and just like very simple things to pad out and increase customization would be nice in the free tier, with for the most part, exclusive outfits being delegated to the paid tier
seeing the free tier have maybe 2-3 outfits over the course of 70 tiers of which takes months to grind, with small little charms in between never felt.. worth it to grind the free tier out. i mean i pay for it every time theres a new one (with the auric cells grinded out from the last rift) but it would be a nice incentive to keep playing, seeing the rift tiers go up, and passively getting more and more bloodpoints from just playing the game.
we all ready get a ton of bloodpoints alone from the archives, but seeing just a lil more rewards granted in the rift would be a nice change for players who play this game heavily, and for players to incentivise them to play more (you would get the bloodpoints by just playing the game, even if you can't achieve some of the higher level challenges)

It feels like more than 2/3 of the premium & free skins are just recolers of older skins (worse recolors in my opinion for the most part).
Yes, give more to free loot, I don't mind if that's recolor, but for premium Its kinda lame (and lazy).
How are they going to get you to buy a Rift Pass if there's actual good stuff in the free pass?
Personally, I feel like the plenty amount of "literally nothing" in the free side of the Rift makes me unwilling to wanna progress overall. Nothing like unlocking a new tier and get a boatload of nothing for your efforts.
But don't you guys love a random head that doesn't match any set?
I feel like at the very least there should be SOMETHING at every level. Even if it's crappy charms. Hell start giving us perk charms, we got empathy and technician in the first one, where's the rest?
And some of the recolors are so incredibly ugly and go with nothing that they might as well not even exist.
Example: Crown of Conviction from Plague: https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/deadbydaylight_gamepedia_en/1/1d/MK_Mask02_02.png?version=216bc14df26cc8254b66eb43c6ea1e1f It goes with absolutely nothing and always looks terrible when equipped.
Hag cosmetics are useless unless you get all of them, like the blue flower set, whatever it is called. Unless you get and equip all three the pieces will look horribly out of place.
Had an idea when someone suggested adding more rift tiers, lemme copy paste it. (with small edits for context)
You know how the premium pass has Auric Cells sprinkled in every 2-3 levels? Do the same with Iridescent Shards.
A Rift is 70 Tiers, let's say you give a reward every ~2 Tiers on the free pass so you have to fill 35 Tiers with something.
The latest Rift had 21 rewards being charms or cosmetics, let's cut this down to 20 for simplicity meaning you only need to fill 15 Tiers with something now.
If they put say 50 Iridescent Shards in those 15 Tiers you suddenly have 750 Shards while also filling up the emptiness of the Rift because your getting something every other Tier.
It wouldn't be much but anything is better than nothing.
I'd be happy with getting some Shards from the free track.
Which is exactly why that will never be a thing. You are not supposed to be happy with the free stuff. The entire system is built in a such way to frustrate players into spending money.
Yes or even bloodpoints. That would be nice. At least that free pass wouldn't be so empty and yet "not too good" compare to the premium (skins, etc.).
I'd take Shards over BP because we get enough of them already, especially from the Tome challenges.
