This is just very rough math, but it seems like it would take about 1 million gold to level a prime to d10 (just going by expected value of prime improve boxes). They're freezing out 99.9% of their customer base.
If it cost $100 instead of $10,000…
@MoenPDC Ok, I appreciate your input. I can agree to disagree with you.
@@jerrye23 It sounds like you are making a completely different spreadsheet that reinvests the assets (BG rewarded) that suit your argument, and excluding the ones (cash rewarde…
The bonus games model reinvests the cash to bonus games. The tournament model reinvests the cash to tournaments. Why would you want the tournament model to reinvest the cash as bonus games? Because bonus games provide more assets?
I don't car…
@jerrye23 Yes, its a problem that invites a recursive solution, but
it's not required in this case. It only takes 1 iteration to identify
the trend, so its unnecessary to traverse past the initial investment
and the rewards.
There i…
@jerrye23 its in the table at the bottom there: "Game reward BG - 6" and "Tourney box reward BG - 907"
We're reinvesting games too. It just isn't explicitly stated in the table, so I can see how one might miss that. The 913 games won from tournament…
Are tourneys more valuable during Royale?
Idk, it seems like BGs are the big point getters in those events. If you want the guys from the tourney boxes, then I guess?
Also, have you really been earning a bonus game as a …
@MoenPDC you're not taking into account the cash & bonus games you win from playing bonus games. You get more than 6 BGs for 30k. You're going to win 2-3 bonus games back and probably 3k or 6k cash from those 6 BGs.
Also, I didn't leave out th…
Below is a sample assuming equal win rates for BG and Tournament:
Below is another sample assuming 99% win rate for BG and 95% win rate for Tournaments:
The spreadsheet is attached if anyone would like to mess around with it. (you can edit the y…
@Bigpredfan that's another great benefit of BGs is the 4 percent reward of 25 gold. It's an additional 1,000 gold per cycle (1000gms).
From my 1,000 game sample yesterday:
Draft picks 22325 Gold 38FCs 313k Cash 312BG 396
You win significant amounts of cash and bonus games from winning bonus games too, @dkarski87
That's what you guys are leaving out of the equation here.
I mean just look at the initial cash investment:
5 million blue cash gets you 1,000 BG5 million blue cash gets you 667 tourney games
That's a discrepancy of 333 games before you even start calculating anything at all.
You get MORE blue cash from playing BGs. You get MORE gloves/loyalty from
playing BG. My
spreadsheet accounts for all these things. I don't feel like your scribble scratch is an accurate apples to apples comparison.
BG - 6 wins…
1 million blue cash only buys 33 tourneys which is 132 games. How did you win 167 of those?
You get more loyalty per dollar for BG than tourneys (30k tourney = 235 gloves, 30k BG = 240 gloves). The difference is minimal, but worth nothing. The 2.7 m…
There are a lot more variables when you bring tourneys into the equation, and its something id like to see if anyone has the time to try and lay out some math on it.
With the 2.7 million cash for d6 cycle you also have to take into account the glov…
Ah, well that makes perfect sense.
As
pujols pointed out, tourneys are extremely dangerous with beelio and
taplegend in there. It seems like it is inevitable that you'll run into
one of those two in roughly half of the tournaments y…
@dkarski87 are you gold still? I have yet to beat Corbin in somewhere between 30 and 40 attempts. Spend all my gold boosting and on some restarts. Using foil Xander. Isn't he supposed to be the best match up available for Corbin? Sure makes me feel …
At gold I've been having better success vs Greinke using video boost as opposed to 40 or 80 gold boost. I didn't figure this out myself, someone else alerted me to it and I have tried it and my results also support this.
So with most things TSB, ju…
