Cog structure overhaul suggestion: planetary gearing

<< < (2/4) > >>

RearAdmiralZill:
I'd like to think if this was to happen, the cog's rules wouldn't be so static to not fit the new system. Maps for example, could be restricted to only 2 total matches before being removed from the random pick instead of just 1.

Split the matches across two streams to lessen the time. So long as they are all recorded, I have no issue with that, and it opens the field for more casters.

As for the breaks, I don't know. Being the first team to get "shit spot" on the third cog has made me hope for an update. Practice is great and all, but we all play enough to know what may or may not work against team x. I don't need a month to sit around and hope another small tourney comes up. Sure we've done some scirmmages, but we know that's not the same. Maybe your breaks can come in the for of things like the spire thing coming up, which halts cogs anyway.

Urz:
There will be more non-Cogs events in the coming future. We don't need to put the burden of supporting the entire competitive community on a single event.

Captain Smollett:
I think the setup of our current third Cog definitely needs an overhaul.  In my opinion it's fine for a team to have a weak off but sitting a competitive team out for a month has always seemed ludicrous.

This actually seems like a nice solution though as Zill suggested I do feel we would need more than one stream at once to fit in all the games.

Now I don't have anything in mind but I wonder if there would be a way to modify this so that the champions and A league would play every week while B league would play every other week to lessen the overall amount of games that needed to be played and casted.

Though looking at it we'd only really need to expand to about 5 or 6 games a week to let all the teams play which would take the same approximate amount of time if we casted on 2 streams.

Sammy B. T.:
A small break is good in the case of the challengers cogs. Its basically a week off. However falling into the up comers Cogs is horrendous. Assuming no cog interruptions, it takes 4 weeks to play again (you're off for 3b 3c 3d). Imagine if you dropped out and joined again. In the time it would take for you drop, you could have made a new team and advanced to the top. This was my main motivation this last Saturday because I didn't think the Brood could survive a month off as we've had an unfortunate string of events.

What I would do is make up-comers cogs three as well. While this might crowd the cogs, we have only had one week where there were two newcomers.

More smaller cogs would be fantastic and we are developing a number of casters beyond the just Swallow and Qwerty.

Just involve the community more and we can make more games work.

Captain Smollett:
For me I think either solution works as long as we find a way to make more matches.

Seeing so many talented teams languish away week after week without competition just doesn't seem right.
