+Didn't completely fraud up this season despite being absent for 3.5 seasons
+Transition to 8 teams was a great success
+Good team parity, amount of practise ended up being usually the main factor separating the winning teams from the losing ones
+Stab can stack bottles on top of each other. Never seen a captain with such skill
+Rude is a crude dude who completed our team very well
+Widower was the unsung hero of this season, constantly providing info at #wdl
+Community overall was pretty friendly to me despite past shortcomings. It's not perfect but I couldn't ask for any better than this, so thank you
-GhostKiller won 3 games and thinks he's a god at Doom or something
-Avc was responsible for most of the meme content and almost all of it was bad (he still got potential though)
-Still uninvited for the WDL Radio
All in all, it was a really fun season. One thing I had in mind is that, if we further increase the amount of teams, unless you want to increase the length of the regular season, there should be a revision of the current point system, so that teams tying against one another in the standings stays fairly unlikely as a result. Here's a mock-up of what I had in mind:
2-round win: 6 points
3-round win, enemy ties one of the rounds: 5 points
3-round win, enemy ties two of the rounds or wins one: 4 points
Tie: 3 points
3-round loss, enemy ties two of the rounds or loses one: 2 points
3-round loss, enemy ties one of the rounds: 1 point
2-round loss: 0 points
As far as other suggestions for the future go, I'll do a quick call back to a couple of other threads I posted in:
- Weekly Free Agency match during the regular season (I'd volunteer to run this together with one other person)
- Community-selected regular season map in a given week
- Not very related to the league proceedings, but more focus on the WDL YouTube channel is called for
- Also not quite related, but player interviews, informative map overviews and match analysis need to be tried (I could work on one of these)
Thanks for a great season, and I hope to be around again this summer.
