RE: Less Rumble, More Tumble?

Yes, but it also depends when you play and how you play. There are periods that are better to play during for me at least, having tokens might kill this possibility for me. I am not completely against it, but it also means that it is a "play daily" thing - no weekend sessions.

I think it’s the same. Draining to 50% is like 50 tokens.
The issue I see is really at the upper end when whales do way more games than regular players.
Yes you are correct you wouldn’t be able to drain below the “50% equivalent” for free.
Also, does ECR drain a bit less for wins?
If it gets rid of the bots, that is great, but at the same time, those whales with old, full decks, bot anyway. Not many seem to actually play anymore, just set and forget.
Hmm. Good question. I will have to pay attention to it today.
I felt my daily gaming session is too long already lol.
I play in weird times between stuff, but I am kind of glad that I won't have to worry about ECR and just binge til I run out of
alcoholtokens :DMy feeling is that the tokens is to make selling the 1% easier to communicate lol.
Then again, have to confirm it is indeed always 1%, win or lose.
It definitely isn't always 1%. Near 50% ECR, it is about 0.5% each round. I believe it works like voting mana on Hive, where at 100% voting power, a 100% vote will cost 2% of voting power. But at 50% voting power, a 100% vote will cost 1%
Let’s find out. Also to remember as we play the ECR regains.
It's 1% of your current ECR when you start the battle. So if you are playing at 90% ECR, you use 0.9% of your ECR and so forth. I think this allows you to play around 40+ games per day without fear of it getting below 50% ECR.
Thanks. So the good news is I don’t need to play as many games. The bad news is this is a nerf!
By about 5 games if I were to run from 100% to 75%. (30 games total)
75% to 50% gets you about 40 games.
Assume we play once every 2 days, we are losing 20 free games.
But from rewards perspective, we are no longer penalized because of ECR right? So kind of a wash?
Not as good if you are after ratings and not rewards.
This change looks like it's targeting players/bots that just run down their ECR in search of rating. Does look like a nerf disguised as a QoL upgrade.....
Rewards wise, I think only time will tell because the SPS rewards are from a pool, so if everyone is getting 100% all the time, the pool should deplete faster as well. Whether that is offset by the reduction in games played, that will take a few seasons to pan out. Also, less games played is not a good thing if that means taking longer to match-make.
Everything SPL does has a butterfly effect.....good or bad, we will never know till the next change.
Cheers mate :)
