This sounds like a proposal written by a Mav that's tired of losing to lower level collections that are not fully maxed or are playing above their league.
My biggest problem with this is I have a LOT of Untamed cards that are only max Bronze league and too expensive to level any higher. Some of those cards still work well in Silver and Gold.
Also, some cards are better in certain rulesets as a lower level card and some cards might have stats at the next level you don't really care for.
I find it crazy that I could be penalized for playing in Gold with my mostly max Silver collection. The fact that this proposal is being announced and nothing has been done about Diamond and Champion players smurfing Bronze/Silver tournaments shows where the team's mindset really is. Didn't we just increase their reward pool by a ton?
Maybe if we stopped stripping the rewards from the lower leagues, people wouldn't be clamoring into higher leagues with half-assed decks just so they can have another shot at earning $0.02.
Leveling my Untamed cards would cost thousands of dollars and renting all of those cards is a poor financial decision. Leveling everything else is still $1-2k additional investment.
To be honest... Maybe I should've skipped Tower Defense and GLS and Runi and Riftwatchers and everything else I keep buying into to support you and focused solely on Chaos Legion. I mean.. I can't wait for my Dr. Blight promo card to penalize me for playing it.
This comment! I couldn't put it better myself.
We are rewarding big investors in the game, but we should also reward skillful players. This is a game to begin with -- gameplay, competitiveness, and most of all enjoyment should be the utmost priorities if we want this game to grow much bigger and to increase userbase.
Rewarding skilled players sounds much better and more attractive than penalizing them.
Yes exactly.
If you use a high level deck but get beaten by a low level or 1 BCX deck, then the the winner should actually be rewarded more instead of getting deductions for using low level deck.
Or maybe the loser would forfeit a random high level card from his deck and transfer it to the winner, because the loser is just wasting the high level card if he still loses to low level.
Well said. But can we be surprised that once again new changes and reward proposals will punish the very people this game needs to nurture...
That's probably debatable but I do ok lol
!BEER
I'm not a mav but I've likely invested more than some of them. That still doesn't mean I intend on sticking around though. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'm not very happy with a lot of the changes over the past few months and also the lack of Quality of Life fixes that people have been asking for over the past year.
