[quote author=Ladna link=topic=26.msg287#msg287 date=1219772509]<br />It wouldn&#039;t have been fair to WAD, and his obligation as captain isn&#039;t to RNB, it&#039;s to his own team.&nbsp; In other sports, when a team is penalized, the league doesn&#039;t penalize the opposing team to make things &quot;fair&quot;.&nbsp; When a team is forced to play with an injured player (GaX &amp; his ***), the league doesn&#039;t force the opposing team to cut its roster down.&nbsp; Sometimes bad shit happens to players and teams, but it&#039;s not the league&#039;s responsibility to make things equally bad for the opposing team so that things are &quot;fair&quot;.&nbsp; And you can say all you want about IDL not being a real sport, but it&#039;s at least a competitive gaming league, and the parallels are the same.[/quote]<br /><br />If every team forced every 3v2 possible the league would be fucking lame.&nbsp; The fact is it&#039;s almost an unwritten rule to play 2v2s(as most teams do).&nbsp; RNB played 2v2s when we had to because we have class(sup Nostar!).&nbsp; The rules should be changed in many cases, it should not be a bullshit game of gotcha.&nbsp; I&#039;m happy you bring up real sports since almost never do real sports have teams anywhere near 100% vs 66% roster which is ridiculous.&nbsp; Maybe in soccer or hockey one or a few will sit out but even then it does not approach the same harshness.&nbsp; Also in hockey power plays end on scores and in soccer it&#039;s much different with so many players with such a long and low scoring game.&nbsp; The IDL 3v2 is pointless and I think overall drags the league down a lot.&nbsp; Maybe if IDL power plays were more reasonable like a cap or a few it&#039;d be sensible but right now it can be a full match of both rounds which is plain ridiculous.
