So I have a collection power of 30k accumulated for almost a year now. But I play in Champion League since March due to the reason of higher rewards percentage, more packs and more chest at the end of the season and also in daily quest. It is also fun playing there due to many skills that are unlock, cause all monsters are at their max level.
When I first played champion league, my instant problem was the rental prices. You can snipe quite a good deal of cards depends also on what day that was, and also sometimes that card would be a lot expensive if your not fast enough in getting it. So I decided I only grind for 2 times in a season, and If I play and rent I can accumulate up to 10k dec for a decent deck of cards. Of course you can say that, you can rent for 4k and you can just get to champ 3. But I do want to be a competitive player. I love the game and I love playing it and I wanna be good at it so I aim for leaderboards. That's why I rent quite a lot of cards to get there. Don't settle for less but always put in mind that you can do it. So here I am grinding to be the best champ player someday.
My first season in playing champion was quite difficult. You were like a newbie finding a job and getting kick out that easily. In champ there so many possibilities and strategies you can create. Due to its max skill status of a card. I'm copying strats from champ players also, I checked their battles and copy it. As I play and play and play I'm able to accumulate a lot of strategy to be competitive in the game. I also copy their line up and cards so that I can rent them the next time I grind again. So in my first season I only accumulated 3.8k rating which is not bad for a first timer at least i get to champ 3! And as I grind and grind and I am able to see my improvement over the past month and my very highest rating right now is 4685k rating. Not really that bad! I almost get into champion 1 but unfortunately lose streak came in.
What I also like about playing champ is that the minimum rating your going to get is +10. No matter how low the rating your opponent is. If you get 3 win streak it will add up to 20+ rating. Of course same as the other leagues if you get defeated by a player who is lower rating than you its -30 and If you defeated a higher league than you with your winstreak also. It will accumulate up to 70+ rating. How awesome is that!
And as for the EOS chest and Daily Chest I thought I'm going to get good rewards. Turns out its the same as a silver or gold player rewards. Ironic cause they're the ones who would get a Legendary Gold Foil or even Epic but the expensive thing that I got from my chest are just packs. From 120 chest I only get 4 packs 3 gold foil commons and 1 legendary. So Its kinda sad that I thought chest in champion is way better than the lower leagues. But this doesn't stop me from grinding in champ, but due to the new reward system update being in champ is not good anymore.
Renting is for Pro-Gamer who know what they are doing.
