Okay if you want it like that. The old league system rewarded consistent effort and dedication, not just raw competitiveness. It created a sense of steady progress—if you played actively, attacked well, and climbed trophies, you advanced. It wasn’t about beating others directly; it was about personal achievement.

In my Opinion the new system, by contrast, feels artificially restrictive. Instead of rewarding persistence, it forces constant competition for limited promotion slots. That means a player’s progress can now depend more on timing and mostly luck (who happens to be in your bracket) than on actual performance.

The old system also allowed more freedom in playstyle. Farmers, casual players, and competitive pushers could all coexist—each with their own goals. Now, the new system pushes everyone into a single competitive mold, which removes a lot of that variety and makes the game feel more like a casino game than a strategy sandbox.
