The issue is that, with the need to play a dedicated build and the top players being so much faster than the others, it is incoherent to even try to compete.

It's not a pressing matter in the end I guess, since these Jewels aren't that interesting anyways (at least not to me).

Can you explain to me how this is different from literally all other competitions? Like, should we ban Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt from the Olympics because they keep getting gold medals?

When looking at the world of sports, it seems having an uncontested winner usually has the opposite effect from what you described; instead of giving up, competitors push themselves even harder because they know they can improve upon themselves to at least match the uncontested winner's scores. Isn't that what competitive players strive for? To push themselves until they're the very best?

With all that in mind, instead of lockouts, it'd probably be healthier to simply raise the skill ceiling to be really high, like with shrines that add +5% move speed and +5% damage taken and speed up enemies by 5% as well, stacking to infinity.

Oh, here we go. It is more than a stupid idea to compare clicking computer game and physical sport.

If GGG can't made a lab's speedrun equal for all classes that currently exist then yes, they shall ban [devoided] from getting a rewards. He got enough of it being top 1 for more than 4 months by exploiting pathfinder's imbalance at Merci and Uber i suppose.

AND NO, i CANT PUSH MYSELF HARDER because PATHFINDER IS OP.

I feel like introducing a cooldown upon winning such a Jewel might be a fair way of allowing multiple persons to acquire one.
As in preventing a Jewel-winner from getting another one for X days.

Rewarding the top 3 entries might also be a nice way to make these Jewels more accessible, maybe even coupled with the beforementioned cooldown.
