Clan league!

[ImperialSun]

My original post is crossed out at the bottom of this comment.

Actually I take back my original statement. I don't like all these league based restrictions.
Having league based restrictions opens up avenues for abuse. For example, I noticed that quite a few players have talked about how they are lower league than their skill level should dictate. Clans can use these low ranked players to effectively field an all supertitan lineup. This is especially true if said players are willing to just play league on a different account and leave their account they registered for in clever, gifted, masters, etc.

However, another issue is that it feels a bit strange that clans can't just field their strong players and instead need to 'weaken' their lineup. Here's my compromise.

A-Team/B-Team Proposition

Instead I suggest we have an A-team/B-team system.

The A-team competition has no restrictions on players based on league. Every team fields their best players.
The B-team competition has league-based restrictions so that lower league clan members still get to compete.

The overall winner of the clan league can be judged based on a combination of the A-team and B-team results.

If you want to restrict supertitan stacking in clans further you could make it so that supertitans who compete in the A-team competition cannot compete in the B-team competition.


I like your ideas harti, but I feel that it is becoming overcomplicated. Perhaps just implement the shiftable rule to the original idea so that it becomes

3 Masters [shiftable ]
2 Gifted [shiftable ]
2 Clever [shiftable ]
2 Free Choice

At best you could have 5 supertitan, 2 master, and 2 gifted.

Looking at the current teams this seems pretty reasonable (EDIT: actually it looks like a few teams don't have enough low level players)

In order of ST, M, G, C, F the best setups for each team (note that this isn't technically correct because I'm using 1v1 rankings and not any 2v2 rankings, but it should be enough for a basic assessment):

Diamond League
1,4,3,1,0
iPro
5,2,1... iPro doesn't have the requisite members to compete (needs more low level players)
Anonymous
5... Anonymous doesn't have the requisite members to compete (needs more low level players)
