This is a huge change to the game. Making things exciting.Not sure if we discourage or encourage botting with this update but we definitely discourage bot farms.
Scholar accounts
This update might have an adverse effect on one important part of the game i.e. Scholar accounts. Being a scholar for more than 3 years, it definitely impacts me. A bit of thinking needs to be done on how we can retain scholar programs in the game.
May be, like we have SPS rewards staked to accounts and we have provision to share the rewards between multiple accounts. Similar provision can be made for soul bound reward cards. One can have a claim button and that will split the cards to multiple accounts based on a pre-decided percentage. That will tie the reward cards to the respective accounts.
Card combining
Another suggestion was that we reward the card combine activity by increasing the burn value of a combined card. Lets say
3% increase in burn value by combining them to bronze league level
7% increase in burn value by combining them to silver league level
11% for gold
17% for diamond
23% for champion
This encourages card combining. And if people want to combine the cards to earn more dec by burning them then that is fine too. Because it reduces the card supply which still increases scarcity.
