I agree that's why plat rewards must be higher, even if it gets far moar clik than gold..
No, that would just be unfair to gold players. The point is to have all leagues be played somewhat equally.

statistically speaking, there is a better chance to win 3 in a row than 4 in row unless you have an much higher win rate on gold
here is just some rough numbers of what you would need to have the same chance
gold%win  |  plat%win  |  rare spin
     18       ~       10      ~      .1
     30       ~       20      ~      .8
     40       ~       30      ~      2.7
     50       ~       40      ~      6.4
     59       ~       50      ~      12.5
     68       ~       60      ~      21.6
as you can see you don't have a very high chance to get a rare spin until you have a high win %, also with my experience RNG tends to clump but with a higher sample pool tends to even out, so you'll see more 3 in row than you will 4 in row simply because 3<4 unless you have a large enough gap in gold%win and plat%win
so all in all I think if you have a high win rate you understand the current meta and will generally be successful in plat
if you are looking for a better chance with a low win rate plat is better but marginally and the chances are still quite low
if you are looking for a challenge plat is definately the place to go!

It's not Zanz'z fault for the rewards not being proportional, it is the platinum farmers fault for milking them constantly.  So raising the rewards would only last so long before they  got nerfed again.

The issue is that while platinum's reward is scuba diving fast (from around 210 to less than 150 in 2 days or so) the gold reward is not skyrocketing at all, it is stable at around 150.
It seems that the more people play this wonderful game, the lower the rewards get, which doesn't make much sense to me.

As more people play one particular League, the rewards for the other three Leagues rise as that League's reward drops.

What I assume happened was that more people played Platinum, but the number of plays in Gold and Silver stayed roughly the same. That's why the Bronze reward went back up to ~2 electrum, while the Silver and Gold base rewards stayed at around 40 and 150.

the base rewards for each league were 20/40/80/120
I wouldn't say plat plummetted but stabilized, bronze is over played by people needing rares while gold is underplayed do to the fact that silver often provides easier/higher score/hr and plat has better rewards for not a high increase in difficulty. (plus everyone in gold is running immo rush dis/hole firestall or something with 24+ pc, try making playing gold a bit more fun and maybe you'll get a few more plays :P)

yeah there are some boring deck in gold but they have almost all the same weakness if you think about them a little. I'm running a rushy deck vs gold I sometimes got the special spins and gain ~3k score/h.

And I said that plat (and even gold) rewards should be higher because I don't see why they are under FG's rewards.. I don't see why AT ALL.

Both gold and platinum rewards are going down, but this doesn't make me wanna play silver or bronze at all. I don't know exactly how, but i feel something can be improved in this system.

Half bloods are still the best to fight against. Easier and more rewarding.
