The thing is, it doesn't matter what it is called as long as the player experience is bad. For existing players at the top, it won't make all too much difference. For new players, the psychology behind this new system is just the worst you can imagine. If I was a new player coming into Splinterlands right now my reaction (if I get passed more than a couple matches because the initial experience is still horrible) would be like stated in a comment above. "worst Pay2Win I've ever seen"

"lets find out together, shall we?"

easy to say when you are on top , but for someone who is about to be pushed to the bottom its a different story, this is not a positive change , this is a pay2win change, when before you had a chance to earn your way now its be stuck at silver for ever unless you spend $400 in cards, before skill and tactics had a part to play and made it challenging , now ? ill be on silver within the hour of season start and stop ... they already neutered the daily rewards ... i already earn more potions than actual cards on dailys and season rewards, which by the way i have no use for.

If you're a quality player in Silver League, then the next change, a month out; will put you on that leaderboard, and speed your progress toward gold with no extra money in.
NB: I got on top by being patient.

IMO Leaderboard rewards are meant for bots. The system is favoring bots in all aspects. Simply put it is rating points achievement to be rewarded and bots are the only things playing here 24/7 of time.

Above 4700 points, there is no winstreak and minimum is 3pts per win, not 10pts. So playing more does not give advantage. In pessimistic scenario, you can win 10 battles and gain 10x3pts and then lose 1 battle which means -36pts. So after 10 wins / 1 lose, you have 6 points less.
And it would work the same way above each league thresholds. So a bot with a win rate 70% (which is a really good win rate for a bot) won't be able to get top position anyway.

This is valid for Champions, but in the rest of leagues the bots will have definitely a huge advantage and there is a need of fixing this before the league separation.

If the Champion 1 would be the only League in a system than your comment would cover all the problems.

The majority of human players are in lower leagues, and we all are saying how big problems are now including bots sent down the hill. The point is if anybody is listening.

Cheers!

I think sm will be more successful appealing to players who will invest money rather than a bunch of bots farming the system anyways.
