A big hurdle for me was the fact that leagues would be populated with people who are choosing a lower league than their cards are, so they ave maxed cards.

I'm sure many will do that but I don't see it as a problem because said person would still need the skill to place in the top positions.

Btw, Imo, Diamond and Champion are two completely different things.

Both have the same limitation on what leveled cards we can play thus my reasoning to combine the two.

I suspect allot will pick the league that their cards are maxed for but I don't see a problem with that. Some may say,"but that is unfair to those who have lower leveled cards" and I would disagree with that because If someone chooses to play in a league their cards are not competitive in then that was their choice to make.

I think so as well ......

Hopefully the founders (@aggroed and @yabbamatt) take the suggestion into consideration.

Thanks for stopping by and expressing your thoughts on the matter.

I think @aggroed would rightly argue that players are already being rewarded with:

DEC with each successful Ranked win
Daily Quest available every day to win some reward cards
Season end reward cards

I don't see that as a valid argument to not have multiple leagues. The above can also be used to say we don't need any league prizes so remove them all because we already have.

• DEC with each successful Ranked win
• Daily Quest available every day to win some reward cards
• Season end reward cards

So where would the additional prizes for separate league leader boards come from?

Remove some from the current league. Don't forget we aren't talking 4 leagues that all award the same prize amounts. Diamond/Champion will have the bulk of the rewards. Novice/Bronze league winners won't be awarded much in comparison. Something as small as top 10 win an extra 100 Reward cards in the Novice/Bronze league would do the trick.

Maybe you could tweak the exponential DEC algorithms so that the top doesn't get so much DEC (though they would probably object to that) and use that DEC to fund small prizes.

Yes x 1000, even if we don't get multiple leagues the amount of DEC currently being awarded per match is way to high at the higher league levels.

Maybe a better solution would be to combine this with the reduced Daily Quest rewards that were previously proposed.

I'm also all for reduced card rewards but not just at the bottom. Aside from that rewarding The Novice/Bronze league top 10 with extra reward cards sounds like the perfect rewards an entry level splinterlands (Steem-Monsters) league should have.

I think a stronger argument could be made to expand that Top 50 to Top 100 instead.

I like that as a secondary option. I was one of the ones that pushed to pay more then the top 10 spots the league use to pay. I think my suggestion is better because all players would benefit from it. Paying more spots in the current format only benefit Diamond/Champion level players.

Looks like I misunderstood what the creativecoin tag was for. I will have to dig deeper into it before using again, thanks for your comment.

And more players is good for everyone.

Being matched with such discrepancies won't be much of an issue in the structure outlined in the OP. This is because we would have 4 leagues to pick from and If someone chooses to play in a league that their cards are underpowered for then they have no-one to blame but themselves.

Me too, fingers crossed that it gets implemented.

Thanks, I think multiple leagues is inevitable.

I think multi-leagues are bound to happen.

Hopefully its sooner rather then later.

Thanks, I hope so too.

I feel as those who decided to not buy booster packs will continue to not buy them regardless of what system is in place. Same goes for the ones that buy boosters in the hundreds. They'll likely continue to buy boosters regardless of what league system is in place as the value is the card itself. What we win with them is "extra".

But for the ones who like to buy a booster or two here and there I believe the purposed new league system will encourage them to do so more often. I base this on something very simple, everyone likes winning.

Once the Bronze level players see they have a chance at some extra prizes in a league of their own they will likely come to the conclusion they need max bronze level cards if they want to be the best Bronze player. So they then go out and max their decks to said level. The same goes for those who want to play in the Silver / Gold / Diamond leagues.

What happens next is the top players from a league will eventually want to move to the more prestige league above their own and the cycle continues until they are able to max their deck.

Thanks for supporting the idea. I had my fingers crossed that @aggroed and/or @yabapmatt would take notice of the topic and comment. I may take your suggestion with DM'ing it to yaba on discord.

Agreed, new players are important to the game and having a league in which they have a chance of making to or near the top would add some excitement for them.

I agree with everything you said. A few of us have certainly talked about this a time or two in the Maverick chat and it looks like we have mostly if not all positive feedback here in the comments.

I wanted to toss it out there again to hopefully bring it near the forefront of the "things to do list" (that is likely huge) the founders have. Hopefully they have seen all the positive feedback the proposed change has garnered. Thanks for stopping by and voicing your opinion.

I think we eventually get multi-league. It makes too much sense not to do it. A forced more up/down a league sounds like a nice addition. Thanks for expressing your opinion on the subject.

I agree that the leagues should have different caps. I currently would lump them together as I think 4 leagues would be enough for our current players base and because they both use the same level caps. If the cap levels change then different leagues for each (Diamond and Champion) would make allot of sense.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks, I think the leagues are bound to go in this direction at some point.
