With the Splinterlands end of season looming I figured I should jump the gun and just make an EOS post now.
For the most part, having acquired my second account which I keep in the Bronze league was a good decision. Aside from the DEC diff in chests, it feels like Bronze banks a lot more cards for far less effort. This is the second season it is playing, with a small delegation from me and rentals and is pretty much completely self-sustained.
I did have a gander at Baronstoolbox, and what struck me is how the win rate is either coincidentally the same or it translates? I wonder what other multi-accounts find with their win rate.
Both my Bronze and Gold account are 54%, now I would hazard a guess that my utter refusal to change teams no matter the ruleset and insistence to run a losing lineup, again and again, does not help my win rate. Then again I only have one goal and I will get there regardless, so it does not matter if I spam mediocre lineups.
At worst my ECR will get a bit low, then I just chill, on average my goal is get 10 Chests and call it a day. There is value though in renting for Bronze but there is no value in worrying about renting for Gold. Possibly Silver is similar.
So for bronze today I did not realise the stupid focus only loads on the second reload after claiming. I thought I had my usually couple hours left, time to spam stuff and make my 10 chests.
After my hour or so play on both accounts on off, I only noticed well Bronze still has 23 hours left. Like wtf.
So I guess this will be the first time I bother to push for 30 chests in Bronze since I have plenty of ECR and when playtime comes around tomorrow I get to spam my focus again.
Bot Time
Arch mage bot has made quite the splash with their release and fair enough to those who can afford a $200+ ticket to already benefit from the automation.
A while back, about a year I had a bot run my account for probably 6 months, fully operated by someone else and I even had control in a telegram to start-stop it. It was convenient.
Even just playing the daily grind for me personally is tedious as hell, guild brawls are pretty useless but a evil you need to suffer through so you can get cheap CP for the most part. Tournaments are not for me, and obviously, even if they are for you unless you by default have a lot of CP not to mention a crazy amount of SPS there is no point even playing above bronze or possibly silver - I assume.
With that said, bots are really the next best iteration. If you do not care to deal with brawls and tourneys then it gives a person chill time, you know, no need to do chores and in my case will probably have a higher win rate because it will keep calm and carry on.
Definitely waiting for the first solid Splinterlands "AI" that can rent what it needs and win what it needs to, I guess if everyone is using the best bot, best cards, and optimal tactics.
What is the house edge? Since once you remove the choice paralysis, isn't the whole game just a coin toss?
