Thought I&#039;d throw in my two cents and say I don&#039;t think my team&#039;s lack of success is support for or against the franchising system.&nbsp; The problem is that I&#039;m a mid level player and probably shouldn&#039;t have captained.&nbsp; Most people would say that while I can benefit a lot of teams, of the captains I&#039;m the worst player, so DMR already starts with a handicap.&nbsp; Because of this I had to pick players who I knew wouldn&#039;t get pissy about it and not show for me.&nbsp; In the end I called it a loss, hopefully helped Hatred have a good final season and am trying to help Quik and Souler get some experience so they can get better and keep playing in future IDL seasons.<br /><br />I don&#039;t really see how any of this could be solved or worsened by franchising, as I would have run into the same problems.&nbsp; I agree that the issue is talented players leaving and not enough new players coming in.
