What if PvP granted shards from opponent's team?

The game's world is generally built around the idea that we are "fighting" over girls to attract them into our harem. This works for champions and villains but for some reason doesn't work in PvP where it would make the most sense. I'm not suggesting ofc that we'd actually steal a girl from another person's harem but getting shards for her the same way we get it in villains would make a lot of sense "lorewise".

Drop rates should probably be pretty low to keep it balanced but it might add an interesting part to PvP of hunting for girls you'd like to attract.

Although personally speaking I could agree with you on the point that in normal conditions an implementation like the one you propose would make sense, I would hardly define HH as a game of normal conditions. An implementation like the one you propose, unless the devs decide to add to it a whole set of exceptions (a thing that could potentially hamper it to the point to render it practically useless), IMHO is impossible to see in HH for a simple reason: it would enable players to gain shards from PvP for potentially every single girl in the game, independently from rarity or events (once there was an event with a chance to get girl shards from PvP, but that was for a specific girl, not the ones of the opponent). And, as far as we have seen up to now, this is against the devs intentions: suffice to think at how hard (and koban consuming) is to obtain a mythic girl, and how small is the number of players that are normally able to obtain them in comparison to the total number of players. With the chance to obtain girls shards in PvP, unless for example it is added a rule that excludes mythic girls (reducing proportionally the usefulness of that feature), the mechanism of Mythic Days would be negatively influenced, as in time much more players would be able to get Mythic girls much more easily, a thing that desumably is against the devs intentions.

They would also need to code in an exception to prevent the Patreon-exclusive girls from dropping shards.

They could just have a chance of dating tokens dropping would make it impossible to get patreon girls with them because you would have no shards with them and would be better than random shards since you could put them towards a girl you wanted.
