Season 11 BGS “Seeding”

De_Potato_Salad

Quoted from the news of how next season will be different “ Summoners will get all the rewards below where they were seeded after playing 5 matches during that season. That means if you were seeded in Plat 1, you will only need to play 5 matches to get all the rewards from Bronze 3 -> Plat 2.”
As nice as this may sound. Every rank you get 200 elders marks. I don’t know about everyone else but I ended this season at 9000 marks (the maximum) and I managed to hit 400k milestone whilst maintaining the maximum elders marks.
This new change will stop this as after just 5 games I will receive ALL rewards from bronze- platinum.
If however I could claim them individually in my stash would be much more desirable. But that’s just my take.
I start with 9k, I hit 400k, I finish with 9k. Season 11 it seems impossible for me to do that due to seeding.

This is a first world problem if I've ever seen one

“FiRsT wOrLd PrObLeM” or maybe I just don’t know want to spend units on a bunch of elders marks for no reason.

So, then finish this season with like 6k or 4k elders marks left and your issue will become a non-issue. Easy problem has an easy solution.

Good thing they added more tiers to make up for your lost rewards. 😉

So burn marks early so that when you get the lower tier burst you don't max out. Then use marks in the later season like you normally would. You'll end the season at less than 9000, but then the very next season because you are below 9k you'll have no problem claiming the lower tier bundle after five matches.

It will all work out to be exactly the same as before, just lined up slightly differently. Instead of ending every season at 9k, you end every season at 6800 and then five matches into the next season you're back to 9k.
