TWL Free Agent Thread

[Dreamwin]

I somewhat agree with Bike. There is absolutely no fucking reason to play for 2 months when the top 2 teams are set with 95% probability in dueling leagues. In base it seems that there are 4 rather equal competitors for the title. A league which requires 3 more players per team.

Why does this guy still type like a retard at 45 years old 🤣
Reminds me of those weirdo girls that typed every other letter in caps for attention

This guy puts more effort into his typing than his gameplay since he gets carried in every league in every division.
Guess you gotta invent a cringe language when you're just on the bench the entire time cheerleading with pom poms for your team 😂

And I care because I want to see competitive gameplay not finals from the beginning of a season, you toxic cunt.

(Isn't hard to be toxic by the way see above for how easy it is I can do it too)

Glad this thread is immensely off topic, and I would like to contribute to this off-topic-ness.

With the way teams are currently, why don't we just skip right to playoffs and allow every squad entry to playoffs? Do we need to drag this out 4 months? Draft I get continuing for months, since there is fine-tuning / tweaking / trading etc., but TWL doesn't really allow for that nuance as much. Then again, I am still seeing Rapid recruiting more elite players because they apparently don't have enough, but anyway maybe give them 1 more week then playoffs? Can we let squad captains vote on this? I'd be super content with TWL playoffs now-ish and let draft tourny run with all its nuance.

And going forward, let's try to emulate the NBA as though everyone is a rookie out of college. Note the NBA is 1 league; no one is asking Lebron to play in the NBA, the NFL, and NHL, although I'm sure he could - he clearly excels in one area more than others. In the same way, it is reasonable to have one draft per league (i.e. LD, LJ, LB), that way you get as many competitive teams as possible, then you can do away with the star cap or any talk of stars. Captains just draft who they think is best depending on who is still available and who vibes well with the team.

The issues I see with the single league drafts / no star cap format is 1. you get some caps who are way more skilled than others thereby giving their team an advantage from the start, 2. it would require a 3-league draft player to be on 3 different chats for their 3 different teams 3. more work up front for captains / devs. Anyway, trusting there is a solution to these issues (e.g. maybe 'elite' caps need to draft themselves first and a mid-tier cap could draft themselves reasonably 3rd or 4th, etc.) this would allow for all the good players to get playing time and like one 6-7.5* per team probably -- you get 10 balanced teams or so (at least in WBs). 10 balanced teams would be sick. Right? Maybe could even get 12 for wbs who knows.

u play this game 25 hrs/day y do u care about who is on what team? u are on fl1pp1rz and get to stirt in 3 leagues, u should wake up in the m1rn1nk n thank g1d or whoever u w1rsh1p if ne that u get this gr8 ch1nc1 of a l1f1t1m1

Lol evil fucked twl with the stacking and then rapid stacked back
Glad this shit league is once a year

Theres literally 10*s benching 🤣

[beam]

Evil and Rapid have really fucked the zone. If it weren't for those 2 squads TWL would have 16 perfectly balanced teams just like every TWL before this one. Grrrr

I dont know, I dont agree that there will be a crisis for TWs population. TWDT still popping. The activity has the potential to decrease, but not disappear for Dec 2022 imo.

These days, I dont blame people for following the rules, even if/when I disagree with the rules (or lack thereof).

Other than a quantiatively flexible roster cap, there are no rules in place that promotes parity and competition during the 5v5 and 8v8 games that happen.

People participate within that structure as they wish, until there are changes in the rules/policy of the systems that have the capacity to promote it.

Mmr has the potential to help with depicting a more accurate picture of the value of each individual player, but it won't mean anything without rules that promote the distribution of high skilled players within active (and semi-active) participants.

I agree with the MMR thing hopefully changing the way people play and removing the ability to stack teams. When a certain team or two wont even play TWD games without stacking all 10*s on one lineup vs guys like Pawner and co, there's something wrong in my view with that, but what do I know. I guess good players largely don't like to vs each other. I respect ppl on Rapid more than Evil if only bcuz Rapid has less star power and those guys willingly chose to join a squad to create some kind of competition. Without that, there'd be nothing. Cuphead-type squads from Ease aren't around anymore, so what's left? Some guys are afraid of competition I guess and are too stuck in their ways to change after all these years of stacking.

You and your team(amongst one other team) are the reason why the league will be mostly shit and the game will be in crisis population-wise after xmas.
