One of the factors they have left it's because they can't compete it;s hard to catch up, look at me, I am here long hours and i am weaker than many toons, even if i dedicate long hours to the game.
Second, you propose that the game kind of do a restart to say each year to put everyone's honor back to 0 and 0 trophies, explain to me how would that fix the matter. What would impede players that have already formed part of one of the strongest teams that had many of the trophies, from forming back again and once more having the trophies
Third you mention the tournaments, well for what I had seen. The toons that win the exp tourney are the highest level toons, because they are the ones that gain most experience from missions, not having to consider energy trophies, a toon that let's say is lvl 200 and the team has 5 energy, can still be beaten by a 350 lvl toon because of the quantity of exp gained from mission.Same with courage, the toon that wins the tournament isn't the one that comes from a team with many courage, so the toon that goes in with the less honor. I participated in the last tourney and came second because a toon that had lower courage beat me.
first of all you said, it's hard to catch up, but not impossible, and it shouldn't even be easy to do it, that's hard competition. second you are 1 year late than most of all these players who are stronger than you, 1 whole year ofc they are stronger, but if you did your best for everyday, sure you will catch up but after a bit long time but sure you can.
second, i didn't suggest to reset players' honor but team honor it will give all teams the change to hit any team but lol you said many left top team cause they have better trophies, now all teams have same chance, only loyal players would stick to their previous teams, so it will give all the chance to pick any team he wants, either stay in same team or go another, that will actually restore a lot of unbalance, cause the strongest players won't leave a team with better trophies according to their prospective to another that will take maybe years to get the desired trophies.
so many would final pick the team that they always wanted, and can leave the best team, so the strength of top teams get spread over several teams, even new ones will be born, it will be very competitive.
just let me clarify more, if you want a new trophy system to give more chance to all equally then my idea can be enough, but if you ask to destroy the best team or teams to give chance for low teams, then i can't help it
just think well in what i said, if you can imagine what it will make, i can help in that sure, it's mine after all
anyways here in advance, i know i said it like a couple of times but no problem
1) restore team's honor & trophies to 0. (like a new server stats)
2) all players will have the chance to join any team, just the extension of teams should matter.
3) many players will change their teams, to go where they find their peace, fun, happiness, etc...
4) that can make a team that was with the 7th place in team ranking, to be the new 1st best team.
note: even the strength of 1 player can change team rank, if for example a player from 8th team joins the 9th, can change the 9th rank.
so don't underestimate what this idea can do.
