I think it might help the issue with Vampires somewhat, but I remain skeptical that they won't remain just the best thing you can be doing at mid-high TV. And Frankly, just look at the Vamps that are currently in the race lead of the BBT, they're already 1690k in just 15 games. Redraft will knock down a team like that some in TV, but they'll have another 15 games to grow even larger.
The best coaches will still have high TV vampires that will still be the best thing you can be doing. You might not see the absolute abomination massive teams anymore but Vampires are still going to be a problem for majors unless or until they are nerfed in some way. |

Are the famous/infamous teams allowed to play? Are they still stuck in Ranked or has the site converted them over yet? |

It's work for the admin that perhaps just one player appreciates in the end. |
Majors were already in the doldrums before we got the new Vamps.
If anything, I thought that there seemed to be more interest in this FC than in other recent Majors.
But yes, I'm sure than some lost interest when they feared that it might be an all vamp final. It wasn't. 
I don't know how much seasons will help. They might even hinder.
I'm assuming that you could still get some mighty vamp lords into 1350 with a load of brand new thralls.
Having to continually cut to 1350 might actually make it harder for some non hardcore coaches to have a "Majors ready" team if there is still such a thing.
When you exit a Major, your team has to cut even if they only played one game.
Unless you have multiple teams ready, you'll need to grind your team up again before the next one
If you try to just go for it at 1350, you need to cut again when you exit and unless you progress through a few rounds you'll be hammered by the ramp.
If anything, seasons may favour the prolific coaches even more than what we've had in the past.
At least then, less prolific coaches would have a team that they could throw in.
We could end up with fewer coaches rather than more.
Unless there is a BBT for season 2+ teams it sounds like a load of miserable grinding.
Majors used to be about more than just great coaches. They were more about the great coach/team combinations. But also about famous, storied, maybe whacky teams.
I don't know how much of that we have going on now.
If it is only going to be about coaches then there is a lot of competition from NAF. |
