We don't WANT platinum on hero, and it makes literally zero difference for the drop chance of your weapon.

Anyone running hero for weapons is a moron HOWEVER a lot run them for prisms and cores and without platinum there's zero chance of either. Why run hero if you're after speed, run adept. Adept even has a higher weapon drop rate bcoz it's a lower % chance but guaranteed platinum as no champs. If people don't run mods I watch them struggle and don't help, I'll take 45 mins if a guy keeps meleeing a barrier and dying then repeating it again. People need to learn basic stuff. If people speed run, I'll leave you to it n dance for 10 mins, waste my time n I'll waste yours

Speedrunning is only saving you time though. That said, I don't ever run hero nightfalls anyway, besides for the "run 3 hero nightfalls" seasonal challenge. Using hero nightfalls as a basis to make the argument that matchmaking wouldn't work is just a completely terrible idea... and a waste of all of our time.
