It's hard to tell what suggestions are serious and what suggestions are not in this thread. So, let's reiterate the serious ones below here, and hold off on the silly ones for now.
Here's 3 potential suggestions for next season.
Only one pilot plays x levels consistently on The Observatory. Honestly I like watching a good x level (because I also like playing them from time to time), but seeing people choose The Blender (aka Wrath x5) is only interesting so many times, to the point where I start to skip them. Perhaps a compromise is to limit secondaries to x2?
Many pilots have done a great job introducing new levels to the community through The Observatory. I'm hesitant to change the way home levels are chosen because of that. We could require a minimum of 3 of the five primaries (Q4's, Vulcan, Spread, Plasma, Fusion), but I can't think of any level that's been played recently that would have gone against that. Is there real interest in ensuring that no one tries to angle too hard? We decided against mega levels because of how megas turned out in Season 1 (they didn't), so we could wait and see how a fusion-only level or something like that plays out, or we could just disallow it up front.
One of the things I was thinking for next season's tournament finals is let the higher seed choose who is home first. Right now, they are home LAST, but some may not want that, why not give them the option to decide.
Good idea?
