I delegate 40k CP to one of my alt accounts, that plays in silver. It's mostly Bronze with a lot of GF. I don't think there should be a need to have a whole set to be able to participate.
Also one thing that came to my mind: You can't just say this change won't affect new players, because atm even Alpha/Beta Cards are quite affordable. I'm mostly talking about Commons and Rares, which are in most cases the cheapest Rarities and the first go to for new players.
yes you play in wild silver 1 and it's still relatively early days in season, so you'll even reach the gold rating this season with lvl 1-2 summoners and 40k cp. and you want to keep that? i beg you vasupi. think about it again. maybe you realize yourself that it is a good example that the numbers are well chosen. love you
But I do own those cards. I bought them or opened them. I have 2 Alt accounts, is that too much? I don't consider myself a botfarm, yet the proposal would hurt me.
My Alts won't move up to Gold because of SPS staking requirements.
Last point - Playing in Silver and above with Bronze level cards was never hard before ranked split into 2 modes. Skill is all you needed to accomplish that. (or just Alric + Oshannus)
what is going on in wild is rating-inflation and not skill my dear Vasupi. why do accounts in modern bronze often have stronger decks than wild silver/gold accounts. although wild actually offers more cards (should be harder), less cards are used there. because the botfarms let tens of thousands of garbage accounts farm there and you are already half a king if you have 5 cards on the right level^^
in the end, even if you play a league lower, you will benefit because you won't have to share your rewards with so many botfarm accounts. i would never harm you. ;)
