A very unfair part of associations
I hadn't really thought about this until recently, but there is a part of associations which is very unfair and gives the Asian teams a huge advantage. I am in Platinum at the moment, so this is assuming active managers at all times.
All of my associations members live in North America, so the server resets at approximately 9pm ct. That would be 9am in you are in China.
Whenever we face an Asian association, our first leg is almost always either 2am or 4am, the middle of the night for us, but middle of the afternoon for them. Needless to say, all of them show up and we are lucky if we have 1 or 2 manager present. They'll all have 15% possession bonus on every match.
HOWEVER!!
When our home leg comes up at 5pm, which would be 5am for them, they all already get credit for being there because they logged in the first leg! So the fact they logged in earlier means they don't have to log in again to get the 8% manager bonus and 2% per supporter! This gives them a massive advantage for leg one, and even if they don't show up, they have no real disadvantage in leg 2!
Even if we set the home leg as early as possible, it'll still be morning for them, and they can easily be awake, plus since it's just after reset, we'll have use large amounts of resources to get our bonuses back to full power. Thus this does not solve the problem or make it fair.
Essentially, they can screw us with the away time, but we have no way to "return the favor" with our home times.
I think that in order to make a level playing field, you should have to log in both times in order to keep your 8% bonus and 2% support possession. Other wise it's totally unfair to those who get a terrible away time early in the morning before their own home leg and the team with the 1st home leg doesn't need to even log in later in the day to keep the bonuses.
Thoughts everyone?
