I am voting for this to reinstate leagues because I think leagues are the best way to onboard players and to allow natural development, as well as allow for more diversity in the use of the game assets (4 leagues create 4 different meta strategies)
However, it's not a vote to "return to exactly the way it was".
There were issues with the old leagues that the current system was attempting to solve:
- Camping in lower leagues for leaderboards
- Structural issues with the ranked ladder that prevented players from playing at the level of their cards.
- Players in low leagues were unable to meaningfully accumulate glint to acquire soulbound cards
- Players felt it was more economically advantageous to multiaccount in lower leagues rather than combine cards.
Moving everything to champ league was too blunt of a tool for the job, and damaged the community and player experience in the process.
So my vote is that "leagues are beneficial to the player experience and superior to a single no-limit league".
However, I think we should commit to exploring several potential solutions to improve the 4 weaknesses above, while incorporating the benefits of a multi-league system. There are a number of viable solutions out there, I won't clutter this proposal with specifics, mostly I would like to see the community work together with the team to create the best version possible.
