The current ranked battle earnings seem also pretty bad as they seem more based on how much SPS you have staked instead of how much you have upgraded your deck.
I think this is just the idea. SPS above deck. However I think they're also trying to make players know that deck is as important as staked SPS, but the competition out there makes it frustrating. You're playing in modern so I expect it'll be even harder.
I think I'll just stay in wild. I don't think I'll exceed silver one if I'm to play there.
Playing a maxed out summoner in silver 2 is just devious
