New player experience

I recently got into raid, playing for a bit over a month, after a friend kept asking me to try it for well over a year now, most of the games aspects are fun, some touch ups to make it better would be nice but it's bearable...however Minotaur and masteries is not one of these things, this is the single most atrocious concept I've come across in gaming. It's entire purpose is just there to hinder any progress you're trying to make, the rewards are abysmal, the number of scrolls stage 15 gives is terrible, the silver it gives is honestly a joke(and this is with the pass and forge pass bonuses so I can only imagine what it's like f2p), the fact that you can basically only level one champ at a time is stupid. And masteries are literally game changing, but the mere thought that every, single, time I get a champ that might be useful I either have to invest a week or 2 in this stupid dungeon, or gem it so they're actually useful would be the sole reason I just drop this game before getting too into it. I don't mind grinding hours in dungeon for gear piece with the correct stats because at least those other dungeons(like fire knight etc.) count towards dungeon divers and have their own tournaments...but minotaur honestly is just atrocious
