I've been playing splinterlands for a few seasons and this one was by FAR the least enjoyable. The level caps or something that fills a similar role need to make a come back.

Thanks for the reply, I have to agree the level gap for new players is hard to enjoy.
Yes!!! Why the hell is it a good idea to allow a max level summoner to be used against people in bronze. Everything else in the games is in a decent, if not great, state right now but this crap NEEDS to go away for Splinterlands to be taken seriously.
Fully agree! i've been playing for a few months and last season SUCKED I had gotten into high silver and even peaked into gold, and then I was struggling to even get to bronze 1.
There's been gatekeepers at the high end of all the leagues for a long time now. It's awful..
But it's not always been like this. Before Rebellion there were very precise lvl restrictions no matter which league you were in. What we have now it's a disgrace.
It's truly the only thing I dislike about an otherwise exciting project.
The problem changed a bit over time after they introduced survival mode and season rentals.. I think the expectation from a lot of people will now be that since Rebellion and Conclave cards are high in price and there's lots of demand for them people will be incentivized to play in the proper leagues.. we'll see how that plays out but it's not just a matter of ratings and earnings, you know? It's a matter of principle.
Money should never fully replace skill and what we had before with the "league" system was a much better compromise! #bringleaguesback
I even talked about this a bit in an old post of mine
What can I say? Let's hope that eventually they'll change this back
Also, if you want to onbaord new people, it still needs to be enjoyable to play at low levels of investment(like just a spellbook)
Either change it back or implement something else that does the same thing. I am tired of being matched with max/high lvl summoners in silver 1/bronze 3
