It's not like I'm looking to dominate everything without competition. That's boring. What I'm looking for is competition, as you described, but without the random factor. If Nordeus is going to pump up the performance of 30-40 % inferior and abandoned teams, just draw us against equal teams instead. The algorithm for this should be easy to solve; make draws based on +/- 10 % teams and put in a parameter that takes into consideration to draw teams that promote against each other in order to avoid tankers. Draw tankers and abandoned teams against each other instead. Nordeus has all required data to make this happen.

As I said, it shouldn't be black or white. Make it enjoyable.
Thats basically it. Competitiveness always comes with randomness as thats how they keep things close. Boredom and lack of competition come together as well. Its just which we decide to play. I know what players want is the fine line in the middle. We dont have that now. Maybe we might have that in the future after facing alot of bugs that eliminate us from many competitions. The only way for us to see improvement is at our expense
