Splinterlands is frustratingly hard in this season (2022.10.18)
Not only the battles are hard, but collecting the focus chests too. It is nearly impossible to collect one daily focus chest. When I win, nowadays usually I earn 0-10 Focus Points (FP), and 390 is needed for a single focus chest. I currently have 141 FP. I played 246 battles in this season so far, and I won 100 battles, so my current win rate is only 40.65%. Probably this is not so bad. I heard from multiple people that they cannot win in this game, and that they gave up.
I am still playing. For fun. It is fun. Even if it is sometimes frustrating. I understand that many (literally hundreds of thousands of) people are playing it, and the competition is high.
I earned only 1 season chest so far. I am currently around the middle of the Bronze II League. I was in the Bronze I League for a short time in the morning, but I fall back, because I lost many battles, and multiple battles were draw. I am currently the 75 949th, so currently I am in the top 100 000 Bronze Splinterlands players.
I also keep investing in Splinterlands. In addition to leasing out most of my Splinterlands cards, I am slowly putting more and more money into the SWAP.HIVE:SPS liquidity pool. I currently have 0.909 SWAP.HIVE and 7.227 SPS in it. This currently worth $0.89 USD. Slowly it will reach $1 USD.
The 72.79% APR interest rate is very attractive, but I do not want to risk higher amount of money.
I rather prefer Hive Dollar (HBD) savings. This is a lower risk investment, because the Hive Dollar (HBD) is a stablecoin. I currently have $143.24 HBD in savings. Nowadays I am constantly building it. I regularly transfer HBD to savings. Probably I will receive more than $1.21 HBD interest at the end of the month. So I am starting to earn normal amount of money again, and not cents. If nothing unexpected will happen, then this will be very good in long term. I have 550 Hive (and I am still powering down) to have emergency funds, if needed.
The automatic card leasing with Splex.gg nowadays also gives a relatively good return. Around 200-300 Dark Energy Crystals (DEC) per day for me. This also gives a few dollars per month.
My total Splinterlands card collection is currently worth $162.37 USD. I use the earned DEC mostly to put it into Hive Dollar (HBD) savings, and sometimes I also put money into the SWAP.HIVE:SPS liquidity pool. Either way, I am mostly selling DEC. Maybe I will buy some Splinterlands cards too in the near future to increase the average income from the card leasing.
All in all, I am using Splinterlands. Both as a game, and as an investment too.
Good luck and have fun.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.

Yesterday while playing my daily games I also noticed something weird in the game, my account with 1800 rank was being matched against people who only had 1000 rank.
Okay, I was winning BUT it really wasn't fair, that shouldn't be the way the game works.
On the other hand, if I won they gave me only 10 points but if I lost they took up to 50 points, which makes it very difficult to climb in the ranking
Probably the developers will make adjustments in the updates, as they further develop the game. I am sure that they would like to give a good experiece to every player.
yeah they are always doing that jaja. it just sometimes doesnt goes as planed.
last season happened too that i had to wait from 2 o 3 minutes until i found any match
I find that every season is slightly different, especially since CL and RW dropped. Your opponents will try different strategies and what worked a season or two ago is no longer good enough. I just keep grinding and gradually get better. And I understand why people would quit because it can be very difficult. I think it took me about 2-3 weeks when I first started before I started winning more than I lost. I am still only a Silver II (Wild) and Gold III (Modern) player based on the CP I have but I'm still having fun with it.
By the way, your strategy of allocating funds is nice.
Probably that is the hardest part. Out of my first 10 000 battles, I won 5104 battles, so 51.04%.
Thank you. I am doing everything for long term. I started playing Splinterlands on 2018.12.30.
Good luck and have fun.
Splinterlands is tough and I think the harder number of chests is due to your season placement last season. So your daily focus chests are probably bronze or silver compared to novice chests.

Yesterday I did not even earned a focus chest. It would have been take too much time. 168 points would have been needed to earn one focus chest, and I already played Splinterlands for many hours. It would have been took the entire day.
Today is somewhat better. I earned one focus chest with approximately 30 minutes of playing. Of course it is still not worth it. I know that these focus chests are mostly worthless in the Bronze leagues.
It's a tough grind. I am getting fewer chests over the past few days but I am still able to get at least some rewards. Do you have a lot of ghost cards? Each one you use decreases the reward shares you get.

Starter cards? Sometimes I use them. Sometimes I do not. The earned Focus Points (FP) per battle is still very low.
