Hmm to be honest, I feel that there has been too many changes/tweaks to the game recently and it's not easy for the average players to keep up. Also it's not really good for the Splinterlands ecosystem, e.g. why would someone invest more in a game when changes are so frequent.
It is hard and yes, it might be difficult for many to get in, because they will choose a strategy they think will work early and then, it changes on them. I think that part of the benefit of this (there are many drawbacks of course) is that it would hopefully encourage more broad investing, rather than maximizing on current conditions.
Yeah let's wait and see how it evolves.
