MR_SLINwoah, that's really rough for HL. anyone here who plays highlander that can speak to why this is happening?

for HL, nobody in the top really cares about getting better anymore because the best team, dK, hoards most of the best players on their roster. dK is basically a team that beats almost anyone without trying, seeing as they haven't lost a match in 2 seasons. Because of this, players from dK lose interest, leave the game, and the cycle continues. Nobody sticks together long enough to grind up to dK's level, and instead good teams die and reform over and over each time with more players quitting or roster riding. Also, because the gold division got removed, more players that used to be the skill of "low gold" got forced into platinum or they couldn't play with their friends in silver, so a huge chunk of them quit. The factor of teams dying over and over could be remedied by a prizepool, but at the same time that would just make dK even stronger by them snatching up all of the best players onto their roster, guarenteeing the players a 1st place badge and in return dK would get the 1st prize season after season. There really isn't a solution to HL's dying numbers.
