4 or 5 golds should overrule all other cards.

They should just scrap the whole thing and use a score system like tf2. The whole medals/cards thing is the worst thing about the game by far, it's completely convoluted and arbitrary. A bunch of heroes have a medal or two that is completely irrelevant for the hero, there is a medal slot for deaths even though it doesn't have an associated medal, and the system is especially stupid in a game where you can swap heroes (swapping from dps to healer midgame for example makes the medals even more pointless)

It seems like it wasn't thought out at all and it completely clashes with the simple/elegant design of the rest of the game. It's like they are so afraid of implementing a system that will facilitate toxicity that they implemented a purposefully horrible system instead. The funny part is that when you have this convoluted, hidden medal system it causes just as much if not more toxicity because everyone with 2 or 3 gold medals gets suspicious of the rest of their team and then they start trying to figure out who isn't performing well and often end up raging at people who don't even deserve it, which ends up with even more arguments.
