Which explains why CF aren't the ones comfortably winning playoffs today, and the various TUS sections are there to show it.
So we agree here or?
Right, but the way this league (and frankly any other competition on any other game that I can think of right now) works is that being careful about optimising your yields means you're a better player/clan as far as the league is concerned. I'm sure you don't mean to say that TUS should award anyone for what they could have achieved, but that's how it's coming out...
CF is about the only clan in recent years (by that I mean during TuS) that has been so careful to pick their games, not that there is anything wrong with that, just saying that most clans on Wnet have PO winning potential, yet mostly have members who don't take the game as serious, I guess my point here is, CF is the only clan that acts like this, sometimes it feels like (comparing in football terms here) they are Real Madrid and everyone else consists of 3rd division English League teams...
Honestly, it's impossible these days to even create a team that can compete with CF's statistics due to the fact (and I have to be honest here) dt has Mablak but he rarely plays and they have many not as strong players, AeF has barman but again he hardly plays and we are the same, for example I was very strong at BnG/Roper/Hysteria but pretty weak at everything else, but while saying that Peja has got a hell of a lot better and I bet he's had more fun learning with great players than winning like a robot...
cFc came the closest to CF when I was very active and we had lalo/daina/Artic all active too, but Artic left, I was an asshole so decided to leave too...
And just when AeF are starting to grow very strong, because Peja has improved like hell, Swist/kyho are getting ridiculously good, (sorry if you didn't want this mentioned already but it's important to this post) Kyho & Swist decide to leave and recreate AQ, that really hurts AeF... Sure it will increase activity but now both AQ/AeF will suck in PO and really decrease their overall climbing ability...
Compared to previous WA leagues, TUS already does a great deal to showcase currently dominant players and clans, with only the overall standings there for clans who may have done amazingly during seasons but perhaps failed to win as many playoffs (not saying CF failed to win playoffs, of course, they have the cups in their profile to show otherwise). Why is it so vital that this information be hidden when instead it'd be much easier to just tell players who are looking at overall standings to learn about the best clans today that they should look somewhere else for that information?
Well, looking @ other information takes too long, I can't be bothered having to select Clanners - Season - Overall - then clanners again... wait on it loading, then pick another season, wait on it loading, pick another season, wait on it loading, etc etc... (Honestly while I am on that subject, why the hell does it automatically flip to singles everytime I change from overall to a season??? It's annoying as hell, I want it to stay on clanners while I browse clanners !)
Basically, Overall shows you the past, not the present or the future... Maybe if CF were active, and cFc were still as strong/active, TaG too, what the actual f@#! are doh still doing there anyway ?!? It's things like that why I personally wish there was a reset...
I didn't actually say clanner playoffs were more difficult to win back then, I only gave that as an example of the sort of counterargument CF could have resorted to in this imaginary battle for best TUS clan ever, hehe. No doubt they historically took their non-playoff games and rating more seriously than dt, and so I would find it perfectly reasonable if they wanted to keep the overall standings as they are, not introduce rating decay or other shenanigans (hiding inactive clans until they start playing again was the norm in past Worms leagues) to them.
Not trying to be a dick but:
but playoffs were more difficult to win back when they were doing it, to which you'd call them filthy Germans and so on.
I just don't see why we can't take the overall standings as they are, save them into a hall of fame and start fresh again, giving everyone a chance to battle to the top again, perhaps CF would even get active again to try and reach 1st again? Perhaps dt would fill more of their potential for overall and take them on? Maybe other clans would form to try and take that 1st place? Not saying it would, just maybe... I think it'd be more exciting at least, it's been what 5 or 6 years now cmon...
But on the subject of logic, if clanner competition is as tough today as it's ever been, why have so many people been complaining about the lack of highly competitive clans in recent years? I don't know if this is actually the case, but if there were more competitive clans around in 2010 and 2011 than there are today, wouldn't that by definition make old TUS playoffs harder to win?
Well I never said clanner competition is as tough today as it's ever been, I just said logic dictates players should be better now so it should be, but clearly it isn't because even though alot of the great players are better, the community as a whole is just much less active, I mean, I believe the more choice we have the more diverse we will become, it isn't just 3 schemes for the entire WNET anymore, we have hundreds of schemes now...
