RE: SPS Governance Proposal - Bring Brackets to Modern
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Can't people do these exploits with maxed cards too? I don't see how specific card level affects ANY of the 'exploits' you mention, and how allowing lower level cards in champ can be exploited more (again with the things you outline) than max level cards.
I love the proposal, it's YEARS overdue, but the level restrictions in champ are a bit much. I can't afford to buy a full deck right out of the gates anymore, and slowly build over time. If I buy a single bcx L I'd be pissed if I was not allowed to use it in champ.

Well Jimmy, the level restrictions are the compromise it takes for this to have any chance at passing. Arguably yes you could do the same behaviors with max level cards, but at that point the cost to do so is quite prohibitive in its own right. I did lower the Champ minimum levels from Max only to be a bit softer, but I can only push things so far before the proposal receives massive downvotes that will force it to fail. Maybe we can further soften and adjust things in the future. Maybe when a new reward set is released we can have amendments to grant them amnesty for certain amounts of times, but even if you guys aren't aware... I've been broaching this topic and trying to find a path forward for quite some time. This is the closest I've ever gotten and it's only because of the bracket system and the minimum card requirements. Without those "leagues" were never coming back. I don't think this is perfect, but I do think it's much better than what we've got right now, even if it means I personally will probably have to drop back to Diamond.
First of all, thank you for finally getting this through. And I hear you. I don't like it, but I hear you. We can only go so far with certain interests opposing. Without league caps coming back I don't think we'd ever thrive as a game, we'd just stay on this trajectory and maybe continue to just get by if we're lucky.
This is a big step in the right direction.
Hopefully we can tweak as needed so Champ isn't just a top heavy hand out b/c only super high level cards are allowed. Love to see competitive integrity forced in lol. Cheers to @captaindingus above for his Yaba card example, perfect and relevant. Super rare and hard to get, and it's going to be excluded unless you have 6 copies to combine. Champ player who pulls one Yaba from a pack and wants to play it? Someone somewhere is pointing and laughing at you lol. Hopefully we can get some exceptions or lower the restrictions for L cards at the very least in the near future.
@fatjimmy - honestly man, regardless of cards like Yaba and Grix... I am stuck in the neverending Modern Hell of 50-100 Champ.
I can't compete with the big dawgs, I can't drop to diamond and I am stuck getting farmed by Scholars and then curb stomped by a bot...
If we make the bots easier - "THEN SCHOLARS WILL FARM THEM"... THEY ALREADY DO... but anyways...
So I can FINALLY DROP TO DIAMOND to get back to a decently high Leaderboard spot... (although lately with Esc I'm higher than ever... womp womp)...
I'd trade losing a few cards for a much more level playing field opportunity.
For right now, I think this is ok. I think the better solution has been presented and it's the rShares Modifier.
However, I think the rShares Modifier should be more punishing...
1 Underlevel Card = -50% rShares
2+ Underlever Cards = -100% rShares
Now... anyone can play their L1 cards in Champ... but why would you when it nukes your Return...
Well - if that card would turn the L into a W... 50% of something is way better than 100% of nothing!
