The new league draw system

[Buffs Mad]

I've trawled through some past pics but unfortunately I don't record Q in the draw unless something prompted me to do so. Since the topic seems to cover both Q and Friends draw maybe you'll get something from them.

The summary from this is in:
Season 11 I got the nightmare draw that some people are saying is a new phenomenom.
Season 12 without changing anything the following season I got the **** draw that folks are saying only others get.
Season 16 handful of good teams the rest crap.

CHANGE? - Not proven for me, imo

The Tables

Season 8 - There was a core of ptomoted teams that formed the core of a friends league for 4 seasons.



Season 11 - this was the first Season I went 'no friends' and was what some would call a "Nightmare Draw, WTF Nordeus you're stacking the deck!!!" with Tankers and Scout Market buyers.



Season 12 - this was the second 'no friends' league and it was mostly crap. NB. just because it was 'no friends' for me doesn't mean that everyone had 'no friends' Don't have Q or starting draw pic for it because I was probably too disappointed.



Season 13 - I went back to a Friends league to make it more competitive again.



Season 14 - Friends again



Season 15 - and again



Season 16 - I didn't actively add friends friendly opponents for this one and my friends dissapeared. So either (as I said at the time) I 'dropped the ball in maintaining my league' and if drifted away or "Nordeus changed it, wtf!". I favour the former

EDIT: Season 16 Table with 'Then and Now' Q Note: My Q for 15 active players is actually 101 something or 6* average (forget what I wrote before).



NB - when I make a friends league and maintain it I don't just add friends, I actively add friends I want in the league then add friends that they play friendlies with or friends that I want who were in the same leagues specifically to group teams to me which were already grouped and (through friendly 'adds') to strengthen the bond with mutual friends. It can be assumed that since I make friends leagues to produce competition that the Q is close.
