This is a stupid thread. Just because little changed in the picking order this season doesn&#039;t mean it won&#039;t be more substantial in the future. The point of captains picking draft slots was to prevent one captain from losing, getting the 1st pick, and having a gimp team due to the nature of the snake draft (and the anemic player pool). It also prevents good players from the 100% certainty of going to the worst team. The concept of the rule is good enough to try and we have next to zero evidence to refute that.<br /><br />Oh and people haven&#039;t even selected their teams yet. I was allowed to pick 2 slots up, Saber picked a couple slots down, Prime could swap with LB. These differences will DEFINITELY affect the outcome of IDL. The reason that this draft re-ordering didn&#039;t have the obvious consequence is that we mostly got rid of the lower skilled captains. Last season it was pretety obvious who was going to playoffs and who wasn&#039;t, with the exception of your team of epic failure. This season it&#039;s far less obvious.<br /><br />So yeah, waaaaaay too early. I don&#039;t see anyone being negatively affected by this at all. The worst possible outcome is that a captain screws up, and we can all attest to that being the norm anyway.
