BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Re: The problem with dominance

Yes. I know that.

Implementing changes in the algorithm that attempt to make OOF sourced dragons count less would then make Earth a larger threat for first on non-contested weeks where another flight is hosting a raffle or pb. They are already consistently placing on these weeks under their own exalt power.

In Light vs Fire, Light received over twice as many dragons through their raffle as Fire did, enough to overcome the population ratio we can estimate. If OOF support is devalued, small flight wins as usual.

In Water vs Earth, Water received more raffle support and actively seemed to be buying a lot of mercs as well on top of that. The board flipped all week long. If OOF support is devalued, Earth probably wins as usual.

When people say OOF activity is the reason why the smaller flight will "always win", they have a "simplistic understanding" of how the larger flights have actually won these recent battles and why Earth places so frequently on non contested weeks. (They exalt. A lot. On their own.)

I support the dom algorithm being changed just for the sake of something new, by the way. But I predict a lot of the "fixes" that attempt to nerf raffles/pbs/mercs would actually only make things more stagnant.

OOF support is not the problem. It's actually a bandaid on the flaws of Dom as a whole right now.
