Supplementary draft Friday, Nov 4th (Tommorow)

Competition isn't about predicting the outcome, by definition.

If anything, Kickballs are a far bigger "popularity contest" than league play is. Kickballs enforce the option for a lot of potentially underrated players to be fat-kidded out in favor of someone like, well... Mage. It's also very easy to predict the outcomes of Kickballs just as much as it is league play. But if it's your desire to be an incessant contrarian, be my guest.

No one's whining about stacking their teams during league play, most everyone is satisfied with their rosters, and speaking on behalf of my group, the entire reason we came back was to play with eachother. I suppose that's a Circle Jerk, but we weren't entirely exclusive about our recruitment process. I know we discussed several players that many of us didn't have prior experience playing with during the draft simply because of their willingness to compete and their versatility.

I think for a lot of people at this stage of the game, it's less about "How can we make the most OP stacked team possible?" and more about "How can I get on a team with my friends and people I want to play with and make it work?"

In the case of several of the teams in this league, that was more or less what happened. I know both Exile and FAP are those kinds of teams, and I'm pretty sure both WARE and Shenanigans are the same as well.

In terms of Exile and FAP, we share a mumble server, and we are all constantly hanging out on Mumble even outside of match or practice times. Camaraderie and team cohesion are more important to me then just making the most stacked roster ever. Despite the fact that I believe Exile is a good team, I wouldn't play with them if I didn't like the team.

I like playing with my team rather then risking doing Kickballs with people that I do not want to play with, even if it means that I would potentially be playing on some kind of crazy stacked KB team for a few rounds.

Also, I firmly believe that teams that are based off of camaraderie rather then stacking are better off at the end of the day. They may start off slow at the beginning, but they are also the teams that are more likely to commit to improving as a team, and will typically be noticeably better by the end of the season... FAP is a good example of that.

Moved to thursday dear


I really have to agree with this. I think most of the teams had certain goals in mind when making their roster and a majority had the goal of playing with friends and having fun. I know that's what I was looking for in my roster. The teams that where more haphazerdly put together either fell apart prior to the leagues start or have stuggled with attendence during the league.
