Steem-Monsters: It's Time For A Change (Suggestion)
I think the Steem-Monsters game would benefit greatly from my below suggestion. I would like to see different league standings for each level as structured below.
League 1: Novice/Bronze
League 2: Silver
League 3: Gold
League 4: Diamond/Champion
Each league would have its own top 10 and rewards awarded accordingly (Novice league with small rewards / Champion league with the highest rewards). Each player has to pick what league they want to join prior to the start of the league so no one account can win multiple top 10 spots. We would still have the problem of multi-accounting but at least it keeps everyone's main account in one specific league thus helping to fight reward farming abuse.
One of the benefits of the above system is more winners and winners tell their friend about this awesome game we are playing. They also spend more on the game because they're " good at it ".
Being the best Novice/Bronze/Silver/Gold player would be a nice bragging right and will give incentive to lower level players to Buy/Level up cards so they can be the best in the league they choose to play in.
What do you think of my suggestions? Do you have some of your own? Comment below to let me know.

Steem-Monsters is a digital card game created by @aggroed and @yabapmatt. Early game release has launched and prizes are already up for grabs. Some of the cards in this game have already sold for upwards of $3000. Free Prize Money tournaments have started and thousands of dollars in Steem has already been given out.

Man this is a blast from the past suggestion. It's obvious this needs to happen but i've stopped fighting this fight. There's certainly ways to make this work. Heck there could be a league where new users play the game just for fun and don't even own cards just like a simulator and then say... dang I like playing this and I think I could be pretty good. And yes being the best of silver league could be really fulfilling right now if you're silver you're just ranked like player #1600 ... that isn't fulfillment at all sounds like more reason to not want to play.
Best of luck getting true leagues going. It will end up that way it's just a matter of how long they fight it and honestly i'm sure they have other things in mind for development so i'm not expecting to see it anytime soon.
I agree with everything you said. A few of us have certainly talked about this a time or two in the Maverick chat and it looks like we have mostly if not all positive feedback here in the comments.
I wanted to toss it out there again to hopefully bring it near the forefront of the "things to do list" (that is likely huge) the founders have. Hopefully they have seen all the positive feedback the proposed change has garnered. Thanks for stopping by and voicing your opinion.
Great idea, could increase fun and motivation across all levels if it can be implemented. Personally a huge fan of your league system, would add some things such as "top 5 per league" to move up to higher one, same with last 5 per league etc

I think we eventually get multi-league. It makes too much sense not to do it. A forced more up/down a league sounds like a nice addition. Thanks for expressing your opinion on the subject.

Good plan, smart thinking.
Thanks, I think multiple leagues is inevitable.
I think @aggroed would rightly argue that players are already being rewarded with:
So where would the additional prizes for separate league leader boards come from?
Maybe you could tweak the exponential DEC algorithms so that the top doesn't get so much DEC (though they would probably object to that) and use that DEC to fund small prizes.
Maybe a better solution would be to combine this with the reduced Daily Quest rewards that were previously proposed. Then the reduced rewards would be counterbalanced by rewards for the best players at each of the lower leagues. It would make it harder to farm at the lower levels while still providing opportunities to talented players who have limited card bases or choose to play at lower leagues.
You could also hypothetically take some of the boosters currently being awarded to the Top 50 in the Champion leaderboard. Maybe make it flatter. But I think a stronger argument could be made to expand that Top 50 to Top 100 instead.
Please refrain from using the
creative cointag in your posts unless they are actually post pertaining to the creative arts. Doing so can lead to being flagged by @notcreative and a removal of pending CCC rewards.Looks like I misunderstood what the creativecoin tag was for. I will have to dig deeper into it before using again, thanks for your comment.
I think it's a good idea, as you said more winners will bring more players.
A Seasonal League Leaderboard 👍
And more players is good for everyone.
I agree to this. Additionally I think battle matches should be balanced. Someone with maxed out deck should never matched to low level players irrespective of their ranking. Lower level cards stand no chance against a level 3 flesh golem + level 3 wood nymph and more.
Being matched with such discrepancies won't be much of an issue in the structure outlined in the OP. This is because we would have 4 leagues to pick from and If someone chooses to play in a league that their cards are underpowered for then they have no-one to blame but themselves.
Cheers..... !BEER

I like the idea... I gave it some thought earlier today...
A big hurdle for me was the fact that leagues would be populated with people who are choosing a lower league than their cards are, so they ave maxed cards. I didn't take into consideration you could make people choose at the beginning of a season....
More food for thought....
Btw, Imo, Diamond and Champion are two completely different things.
I'm sure many will do that but I don't see it as a problem because said person would still need the skill to place in the top positions.
Both have the same limitation on what leveled cards we can play thus my reasoning to combine the two.
