After the second season in a row when I wasn't able to reach Champion League although I was in Diamond 1 with 4 or 5 days before the season end, I decided time can be better used in a different way.
Just look at this graph with my rating over the last 40 battles:
Seemed like there was an invisible barrier around the 3500 rating and above. It was even harder at the EOS rush, but that was during the last day, maybe two.
After testing a playing bot last season on a bronze account and liking the results, I decided it is time to bot my main playing account too. I may still play from time to time, but normally, it'll do the heavy lifting. And I'll see the results at the end of the season.
The bot may not reach as high as I normally would, probably not even Diamond 1, but if it reaches Diamond 2, and I have back my time and eliminate a source of frustration, I'll settle with that. What I don't like is that the bot is advertised with very high fees (currently no fee is applied, but it isn't cheap at all to get a token for it). But when the fees start, it may become a very inefficient use of my cards.
I'd certainly prefer to avoid the unnecessary frustration that I associate with playing the game lately.
And I am not the only one resorting to this kind of measure from what I've seen.
I guess, long "live" the bots? They don't get tired, frustrated, or excited.
P.S.: The bot just played its first game on my main playing account. A win. It used a card I don't remember using, ever. Or if I did, it was once or twice. And another card I rarely use. Who knows, maybe I'll learn something from it too? :) With so many cards in my collection, I tend to develop a bias on the cards I use regularly, as I'm sure many of us do.
