Sorry, but I don't see any sarcarm in my message, maybe the same frustration.

Okay, so we both are clearly frustrated. What's your suggestion to solve this problem?

I guess it's solved now?

@Knecht: I haven't forgotten about you, but please be a bit patient this time

Seems like everyone's concerns on this thread have been addressed with this rule change.

Obviously not those people who think the rule is targeting the wrong people and that tankers can still tank as easily as before.

Nah not really. The fundamental flaws are still there.

The News post is a strong indication they understand now that something is not quite right or didn't go as expected, possibly both with the overall plan AND the implementation. This is good, but it's also the bare minimum. It still leaves questions unanswered (mainly how do they plan to hit the same way D1 and D2 teams with bots in their leagues).

We could have spared a lot of bad blood and time posting if they had an open discussion with the userbase about this beforehand. Something like: "we are introducing anti-tanking measures next season and we would like your opinion on it". Most of the stuff would have come out right away.

I think the reaction we see now, is the best we could have asked for realistically. I am somewhat satisfied with it.

Just a general suggestion from my good friend Sir Richard Branson: Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to make something simple.

I'd get rid of many of those regulations if possible.
