You are naive thinking forcing rule will solve the problem. If such rule is set, people WON'T go "Damn I can't skip I have to play, let's give it my best, maybe we win". They'll go "Report free win". That's not more activity nor a solution. Just clogging TUS db with empty games.
Then again you will get pissed off about free wins and come here and ask for banning free wins. "IT'S THE MAIN LEAGUE OF W:A, GAMES MUST GET DONE, WTF ARE THESE FREE WINS?"
And yep, we set the no free win rule. You think people will be like "Damn we can't hand out free wins. Yep seems like there's no way out, they got us! Let's do our best!". Well they will:
1. Quit playing TUS because they are forced to play schemes they don't like. (Remember how many times people said that in defend of TEL? "I just want to play Elite and in Classic I have to play other schemes")
2. They won't take the games seriously. Think about BnGs where people are just trying fancy shot which ultimately explode on themselves (Greenies). Think about WxW games which people are warming on the map, trying to pull their favorite trick. Isn't that against the quality of the league? We already have a bunch of these games.
Then what? Should we set a rule "YOU MUST BE SERIOUS IN ALL GAMES!! SEND US YOUR PICTURE WHILE PLAYING, WE MUST SEE TENSION IN YOUR FACE", then tons are people will come back to TUS because now we have proper rules. We'll have more activity happily ever after.
Notes:
- Current rule set of TUS is protecting you. If you play your opponent's pick, there's no way out. They HAVE TO play your pick.
- Current league system doesn't favor playing specific schemes. You'll gain less and less points.
- They can't avoid a scheme in playoffs. They won't be winning any POs.
You guys are insisting to remove a pregame agreement rule. Seriously, before thinking about how good your rule is, first think about "what if it backfires".
