Wow, winning a game in Gold right now gives more electrum than Plat.
Probably to create incentive to not Plat farm...
This is not done by Zanz. The rewards change dynamically depending on how many people play each league. As such, we can see plainly that Plat gets a lot more traffic than Gold right now, which is thanks to people thinking they can win a lot more in Plat thanks to the Purify buff. In truth it's a double-edged sword since Plat decks can use it too, but the AI restriction of only being able to use 6 SoSa's in a game indubitably help players.

Since Plat now only requires 2 wins in a row for a special spin, it's another huge reason there's no good incentive to play Gold. On the plus side, I'm making tons of electrum from people losing to my Plat deck  :-*
That actually makes me look forward to finally going into plat instead of staying in Gold to make decks.

so less than the value of a single upped card that could have been won by someone if you hadnt squashed their efforts. personally i dont see 1k as being worth being a dink by putting up a frustration deck, but whatever floats your boat, i suppose.

For contrast's sake, I've made 6k with two top 10 decks so far (#2 being the best). I'm saving the electrum for once.

I completely understand him, though. I've been trying to put up creative decks in Platinum, but even those would get only 1-2 "thumbs ups" every 20 wins - and that's all the wins it'd get before getting kicked out. Putting up a known strong deck, such as mono-Darkness, will net you 40-60 wins on average, and as such, you still make more.

Short version: People need to stop downvoting decks merely for being beaten by them.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

Agreed. People often seem to automatically choose the 'thumbs down' when they are beaten, ignoring the fact that a deck may have been cleverly and uniquely constructed. Perhaps the reward for thumbs up should be lessened so that people who are given thumbs down repeatedly miss out on less electrum/chance to rise up the leaderboard. I personally keep making decks with variety, but they are often voted down anyway, so it becomes very difficult to gain rating.
If only they could combine Dota and Elements somehow.... :D

The problem with that is when players lose to those decks that lack creativity.  Like Ghostmare.  In your suggestion, people would be more inclined to give it a thumbs up despite it deserving the opposite.

I found this thumbs up and down thing rather useless, because it doesn't reflect decks at all. And I'm not interested in evaluating decks anyway, but maybe somebody is.
