Forum Challenge Season 125 - Assists Challenge

[khris]

It does go back to the fact that an 8 or 9 star 100 goal a season forward WILL win any rating/MotM competition
As we've seen from all the complaints on the thread the main one is that an 'average' team can never win any of them and so all you get is people complaining that something isn't fair as they have no chance.
Now, I'm not saying I've a solution Khris but there must be some kind of contest where a player with an 80% - 100% team feels like it's worth trying to compete?
Got my thinking cap on here......

we should set a avq cap for participants then, still, leagues can be manipulated xD so yeah, isn't easy... but we have time to think in the formula or just suggesting different stuffs XD

Well, since there are no rules, the only things that someone can do if he really wants to have a good chance of winning those forum competions is to adapt with the flow (which includes quality manipulation, buying better players, and power training). I spoke a lot about how some participants had significant advanatages over others before. Quality cap will not be of any big improvement as such because quality manipulation is among the main deciding factors. Assists, Goals, Ratings, MoM.... all can be manipulated and some have manipulation as their routine seasonal thing, so they have that advantage. I already suggested that those users that won in 2 or 3 of the last consecutives of those specific forum competitions to not be allowed to participate for a 3rd or 4th consecutive time; while some of them might get angry or annoyed, it is one of the only ways to allow the others to have a better chance. Then, it will be up to others to make the effort; someone cannot just expect to come out top 3 in a compeition with a relatively 'crap' team too or without any investment or effort. Another option is to have 2 different groups for those competitions and split the tokens pool - one group for the past recent (last 2-3 seasons; one season tanking between two winning seasons not allowed) winners and one group for recent non-winners. There should be a minimum amount of participants too in relation to the amount of spots eligible for rewards; there cannot be only like 3-5 participants competiting for top 3 spots in a group.
