you guys should make it so the players who are rated either 100 or 90 are limited. like max 2x100/squad, max 2x90/squad and then not have limits on how many 70s or 80s there are.

this way every squad should have at least two or three top players out at any given time

as long as there isn't a team that's got 4x100s out in a game every week we should be alright, no?

That's exactly what i did do - except the unlimited 80s and 70s

Chris, I agree with most of what you said. I don't believe some of these teams are realistic, because some only have one possible medic, or some are half inactive people. I believe a tier limit may also push people away, because depending on who captains, they may not be able to get two 100 rated players. I'd rather give choice to the players and captains to do as they wish, within a salary cap that prevents a supersquad from forming. I agree that using a tier limit is restrictive and creating a cap that allows teams to shoot themselves in the foot is much better because it's more in line with what Infantry players prefer: choice. I think the tier limit idea is less complicated in terms of the work involved to create a cap, but it's sort of an oversimplified method.

I've been playing with the formulas on Armor's spreadsheet a bit and I believe that with some modifications, it will provide the salary cap and player costs that we want and provide the best experience. After trying it out, there are areas that need to be modified, like the salary cap seems too low (or player costs too high), but that only requires shifting a few things around to come up with something really worthwhile. As it is now on his spreadsheet, it seems that you can really only get one top 8 player on a team without reducing your roster to 7-8 players, or making the rest of those players lower-tier. I'd like to make it so that each squad can have 2-3 top players and still have a full roster, or they can stock up with 4-5 top players but their roster will be insanely small and ineffective. With some tweaking and experimenting, I think we could find the perfect cap and cost for each player that will follow exactly what you're talking about, Chris. I'm going to continue working on finding a salary cap that allows freedom of movement and choice, while restricting a massive congregation of talent. Armor posted his spreadsheet in one of the topics, so everyone is free to take a look at it to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.

So im with Team Kippa who a a leader i like really much but why are we stcked with a team where 4 players are innactive?

-Should have 10-15 man roster. Your choice.

-you get a bank of cash

-come up with costs of people. Make the really good people significantly more expensive.

-Allow captains to pick whoever they want that they can afford.

-That way captains have the choice of picking a few really good players and running out of money and forced to fill the rest of their roster (at least 10) with lower tier players. This will allow you have a few really good players but will run the risk of having bad lower tier players and a smaller roster size.

-On the other hand a captain can have 1 or 2 top tier players and fill the roster to average to above average players and a couple of lower tier players to fill out 15 man roster.

-I think this way allows for more creativity and freedom to pick and choose.

-The hard part is having a fair and really good cost system of players

I come cheap

What happens if 2 captains want the same player?

It's not a draft league. Whoever the player decides to go with is where he'll end up. Assuming the squad has the cap space for them.

seems like some people are worried about the inactive people, how some teams might be stacked maybe since their good players show up and the others not so much?

if this is what happens, you could make less teams and bigger so in each match there is a better chance a good medic will be present each week, plus a couple of solid players, type of thing

take all of the people that are known not to show up as much and slap them on any squad after each's core members have been chosen, that make sense? if there are only so many solid medics and that might limit the amount of teams we could have, then we are gonna have to get some new guys learning how to be medics so we can expand and keep it competitive

What if we do a season 8 playing in overwatch 6v6

It's worth repeating because of how often it's come up: This is not a draft league. Captains don't get a player because they pick them, and we're not picking the Captains. Fausto has reached out to potential captains to see how many are interested this season. Recruitment will work the same as it has in previous seasons, except that Captains have to be mindful of the salary cap.

maybe try using a hard and soft cap.

hard cap could be higher than whats projected right now, but no roster is allowed to go above it.

the soft cap could be around what you are projecting the cap at now, but with a kill handicap in matches of X times however many points over that cap a roster is

it might be a good compromise to the issue brought up by champ and mecca

I honestly would love to med on my squad which ever it may be.

I like it.

When do I pick my team?

Il take Infinite, em4, bmei, brillhart, dracolich, Judinny and Un2k.

what do you guys think about having a max of 3 100/90s on the field at a time... during a 7 on 7 match, each team would have 4 so-so players at all times and then it would be a little harder for the less-strong squads to get dominated.. just trying to help at all if i can
