yea i just wanted to try one, see what it was after @DjGus mentioned (riiight before going to bed lol), maybe hoping got a special participation boss badge or something lol, not just an xp dump
did not expect it to be a 30+min battle 
-could have warned about that/those details lol 
anyways, until steam fixes it (i don’t really have any hopes of retriactive fixes tho 
), it seems pointless to do, because the lvl skipping just means your badge don’t upgrade anyway, and don’t get any lvl up rewards, like cosmetics either,
-so if valve don’t apply retroactive rewards, i could potentially just slave away with 4 more boss battles (if lucky enough to encounter one, the bots make it difficult to predict, even with the github map), and say get rank 6, but just not “get the badge” anyway, if it might just glitch out all the way lol..
