Yes, whales will have a much easier time ranking, they paid for their strong point booster and they also made developers able to live and run the game, so that is fair to say the least. But that doesn't mean you dont have a chance in ranking if you had put in the effort to not be casual, and with the help of couple SR point booster you can possibly get into the 500~300 in ranks.

Having strong card doesnt automatically translate to easier to rank. i have all the tower ranking reward but if i decide to be casual in events i know i wont get into even the 500s, where most rewards are. Besides when tower first introduced, most people didnt have their multihitter speedrun teams, everyone who is capable now that didnt whale had to grind their way into getting those from tower reward. The game will give you cards to strengthen your teams, its you who decide wether to put effort in to get them or not.

For those who whaled, their cards power isn't gonna get any more stronger with ranking reward, while they are close to the summon cards they still not the same.

Sure, the game can do much nicer thing like give you free jewels/ticket left and right, and they seems to be getting there with monthly LR summons with free tickets. But I honestly dont understand this mentality that you think you can be casual in a game and still deserve the same amount of reward like those that tried.
