About a decade ago the Worms franchise arguably 'died' (to
some of us, anyway) because Team17 didn't listen to the older players/fans and gradually made their games more casual. While this may or may not have generally worked out for T17, it made the games after W:A a lot worse to us, because we were trying to get the best competition possible out of 'our' game.
Am I the only one having a deja vu here? TUS is the most casual 'league' I've seen in all this time. You get trophies for pretty much everything, there are as many cups as FTN did tourneys (too many = less appeal to win one, hint hint), activity is generally more important than maintaining a high winrate, the noobs even get their own stupid scheme added to
our league (scheme-wise).
But it's all been said before and I honestly think it's way (way) too late to go back. Personally I'm done with this game, not because I don't have the time to play, I'm actually playing plenty of other games, it's just that W:A has lost its appeal. I don't have the urge to play league games anymore, mostly because it's worth jack shit winning a league nowadays. And money won't change that.
And ropa is right. Some of us were talking about the problems we have with this league. Definitely more than once. Nothing ever changed - because we were the minority in numbers. Now everyone is crying how poor the competition is because we were the majority in skill. Karma?
Just my two cents. No actual offense intended either, it's just how (I think) it is.
