This is a very interesting post! Especially the part about top scholars, I think that leaderboard should not be showing the same scholar taking up three of the top ten positions, that is ridiculous and the leaderboard rewards should be distributed to only one of the three accounts driven by the scholar, perhaps that will encourage people to use different scholars like a scholar will be exclusive per account.

Interesting that you noticed those patterns, I have not, but I will definitely use your tips of waiting as I play those scholars all season long :(
