Last I checked tankers are not rewarded at all (unless they luck out and win the lottery)... so not sure what you are talking about.

A lot of teams are rebuilding because they don't stand a chance at competing with the top teams. Has nothing to do with being ''rewarded''. It's done out of necessity not want (except for Lee).

Seems pretty split down the middle, we just wanted to see if the league had a majority one way or the other. I expect nothing will change now, but the CC will discuss this offseason.

Or some teams are so loaded that many teams are left with no choice.

So they choose to tank even if they know they are not rewarded? sounds weird to me

You guys are both only using half truths. Hawkes, Tankers are rewarded regardless of whether they win lotto, as they get a higher pick. Mik, don't you think people would rather compete if they thought there was an ok chance of them winning it (bigger reward than a high pick imo).

That being said, we have so many tankers now, it's probably a lot easier to compete if one chooses to try and do so.

Why would anyone sell out to win just to be mediocre? Many are tanking, but others are just biding time because there is no incentive to bleed assets to win.

My team is good but I dont think I'm so dominant a team couldnt upset me in a week. I only have room for one more banner in my signature so I'll be tearing it down after I win my 4th.
