id like to share my perspective as a botfarm operator. currently i am running 1350 bots on a 4 day cycle and id like to see the system change in a way that it is not profitable anymore to let the botfarm run like this.
i dont think that would be the case when we go to the card level penalty system again if we dont exclude the soulbound cards.
if we do it like that then id just run with the bots with soulbound only cards. they have already silver+ lvl. i would rent for 1-3 dec a few extra cards to get my accounts in the ranking range were i want them to be. with that i can already play in gold without penalties. ofc i would loose against human players that have more sophisticated decks but that is no problem because my vague guess is that there are 50k other bots that do the same and if there only around 5k players then the bots will push each other higher in rankings.
i will spread all sps across all my bots (with zero usd decks), because (sadly) it is way more profitable to do so then to invest in proper decks and stake it all on a few champion accounts.

on the other hand with cp requirement implemented and sb not counting id have to rent the cp to get rewards and would compete with all other bots on the rental marked while being stuck with bronce - silver ranking rewards.
not 100% sure, but i think it would make botting unprofitable. for sure it would keep big botfarms away from gold-diamond.
having a few bots with good decks will be still viable, but the big botfarms competing for rewards in the higher leagues will be gone.
thats just my opinion, maybe i dont see it correct.
feel free to enlighten me.
i strongly advise to support this proposal and to implement it into the game soon, thanks!
