Happy New Year!

Here's my current Steem Monsters stats, at the beginning of 2019. The prior Steem Monsters season recently ended and all players reverted down to a lower level only a couple of days ago, and being the holidays, I haven't had much time to climb back to my prior ranking.

My high rank last season was somewhere in the vicinity of 852. I guess "Highest Rank" in your profile is an end-of-season metric as opposed to the highest rank you've ever intermittently attained:

In 2018, I played approximately 648 battles! I think a few of those battles are carry-overs that I played this morning, but for the most part that's my 2018 number.

With 337 wins, I have a 52% win percentage and a long win streak of 14 matches, which I'm certain happened in the first few months that I played "in the early days".

There are still times where matches are heavily uneven ("fairness"), but over time I expect this will be less common. When a player purchases a large amount of cards and plays for the first time, their cards are much better than their rank, but there's not much you can do from a rank perspective simply based on card strength (in case someone doesn't play their cards well).

I look forward to what 2019 brings to Steem, Steem Monsters and everything else!! 🙂

What was your favorite update to Steem Monsters in 2018?? I'll share my favorite after I see a few comments from others first 👍
