    I've tried to carry trash squads many times. That isn't fun either. Never again.

    apt than it would not be TWL. Supposed to be the best of the best. That’s why that won’t work. Keep twdt and twl separate. Twdt in fact is pretty fun though and it’s great competition

    Why not implement Draft League’s rating system into TWL rosters.

    You can choose your friends, but your roster is capped at a certain amount of points, game is not.

You can't blame the new basers for getting shit on when the 'elites' all join the same squad for the sole purpose of winning as easily as possible.

    Every league does this to an extent, but basing sometimes seems like the worst offender when there are only two squads that ever do anything. The top skill players could try to play against each other instead of joining, but they don't. TWDT is a success only because it forces them to do that instead of allowing them to do it willingly. TWL has become a joke because these people seem deathly afraid of competition for some reason.

    Imo, if there are only two good basing squads due to the above factors, then the really fun league is the competition between everyone else for third place. The top two teams just waste their time until the finals. Let them have their time wasted then. That's what they wanted, so that's what they'll get. Everyone else will have fun playing scrubs vs scrubs.
    Lol.

    It is true, can’t lie from my observations. Been back for a few months and I’ve read people more joyfully proud of riding the bench of a TWLB champion, than having had the opportunity to actually contribute to any of their wins. Which, this psychology is excusable if we were all still 13 playing in our rooms, but ya’ll grown, you’d think wanting to compete and improve would be the purpose of playing an organized league.

    Yeah, that’s true; but if players were willing to mix and match outside of a force scenario ( Draft League), it would be the opposite of diminishing returns and would be more in relation to compounding interest.

    The league has been elitist since I stopped playing back in 07. We all want competition yea I get it, but no one wants to introduce new players or new squads or play with them.

    Then these same people complain as to why only 2 squads are capable of competing for a title every year.

    It's pretty easy to look at the basing squad rosters and see that half of them are pure trash.

    On a side note, just confirm 100% before you signup Paladen.
