Splinterlands: the new ECR system
If you have been playing splinterlands recently you will notice that there has been a change in many things and most importantly the energy capture rate system. The formal ECR system was not good for many reasons but the most important reason I saw there was the bots were taken advantage of it because it allow bots to play more games and doing this means two things which are they get to earn more rewards than actual players and the other is that they can easily go higher in the league ranking.
The truth is bot farming also plays its part in the economy of splinterlands but not like real players and to encourage more players to play the game the real players should always earn more than the bots and this will bring about more real players playing and investing in the game but the last ECR helps bots to play better and earn better which many people don't agree with.
The recent change in ECR reduces the number of games bots can play and gives equal opportunities to both real players and bots. Now you can play a limited game with maximum rewards. The new ECR system feels like every other web2 game where you burn one ECR per game and it takes 24 hours to refill after playing 24 games but with the former ECR, you can play up to 40 games which gives people opportunities to play in the wild and modern league at the same time but that will be difficult to do now and you have stuck with one league now.
New system with more rewards.
One thing about former ECR is that even though you have winning streaks you might not still earn something tangible but only move higher in the league and you can't make it to the top 30 league ranking because that is where the money from ranking is but with the new system you just have to win games and to get maximum reward.
I am currently at diamond league one and the new system has helped me to earn 35 pretty solid diamond chests I have been earning more sps in the process. The new system means you must upgrade your cards to win more battles and get more rewards. I believe this new ECR will encourage more people to play and invest in the game. Bot will still exist but we now have equal opportunities all you have to do is have a strong monster with good strategy.

I don't think it necessarily gives bots or players more advantage because the same general rewards were given so long as you didn't overfill your dark energy capture rate. However, the new system will make it harder on bots and force them to play less. I doubt many of those bots will bother paying for more energy.

I believe the new system will force them to buy more ecr with dec and will be a good thing in the long run
From my observation earning points towards rewards seem to have been better, I am liking the new reward system as well.
It comes with trying to win battles is a more strategic way now than just wanting to have fun.

What league are you in now
Bro I am still in the Gold league, I qualify to play in Diamond but choose not to play in Diamond with my level 4 summoners, the opponents will make life miserable for me.

The game has a way of getting to me when am on a losing streak against higher summoners so I'd rather respect myself and stay in my league.

Now it is all about winning battles and to do that we need to upgrade our monsters
It's a stunning change, I thought it actually won't matter or that it might be a little bit disadvantageous but mehn, this new ECR totally rocks I must tell you. I also get to earn more SPS nowadays. The change is amazing
