Association turnaments getting boring ?

[nikolgiorgos]

Associations competition it’s near to close one year in T11.
When it started, it was amazing. I gave congratulations to nordeus with this thread.

Time has past and this promising feature doesn’t have the first shining image anymore.
Maybe the problem with loans it’s fixed but there are more issues.

The super teams which created by this, still remain and gonna be there for many more seasons as many of them staying in the same lv league or have a slow progression (and a good stock of greens and tokens).
The draw isn’t fair anymore as the beginning. There is a (weird) mix of quality of the group members, teams of 8*-9* and 4*-5* playing vs 6* teams, loaning players to weaker teams and winning points with that.
There are “pro” teams who are staying on purpose in the same lv league, keeping a very high or a very low quality. Those of these low q teams, after the draw buying players and selling them after the tournament.
Some groups with strong tanking teams, replace those teams with their normal teams in the last tournament of the season, so their normal teams to earn the token prizes.
There are managers of course, who don’t use at all their “normal” teams but their reserves, just to win the asso games doing a kind of show off, in T11 local or universal fb groups.

I want to make some suggestions, don’t know if you agree or you want to add some more. Feel free about it

1. When a new season starts, an asso group will start with 6 (or 4/5) teams and gonna finish the season with these teams. Only the next season can switch members

2. All the teams must have max 7* players. A team with 8*-9*-10* will participate but the program gonna recognize those players as max 7* players (tanking is a “weapon” for the strategy of a player or someone who want to make a break, but not using it for getting high q players).

3. Each team of a group, can loan max 3 players (as it gets from other members also 3 players).
4. After the draw of Friday, a team can play the tournament games only with the roster which had at the draw time.
5. The draw can be with the asso goups of all categories. So can be a variety of opponents and not playing with the same division teams. I don’t why a group of Gold 2 division not to play with a Bronze 1 group.
6. There must be convenient time for the games. A team from far east Asia, with a setting time 05.00 , 06.00 (CET), cannot play with a team from Europe.

7. Finally (I know that many of you may disagree) reduce the token price of Platinum division and for World top 10. 100 or 200 token is a motive for a manager to try to “abuse” the system.

Also I would like to know a responsible answer from a nord dev, how the draw of the asso tournaments is working and what is the logic of the games. I ‘ve seen many games and still many times I cannot understand them – or why the behavior of the team, is so different from the other competitions.
• I understand that some (maybe few) managers from all over the world, maybe “destroying “ the asso competition but it’s nordeus that must “protect” their project.

The first idea was so nice and simple. To play with our teams, with friends, simple friendly style games and win some prizes too.
Can we go back there or it's over ?
