Did you just tank yourself out of the playoffs???.

maybe i did...maybe i didnt...call me stupid or stubborn but i dont feel like deservingly entering the playoffs only by two wins over tanking opponents.
This whole tanking thing kinda annoys me anyways as some of the benefitting teams have avoided possible direct relegation or at least playoffs through this. While other teams have been relegated now because their competition got free wins at the end of the season.
Not the kind of league i feel proud of playin in tbh. call me a fool for tanking my chance out of the playoffs or for tanking at all but at least i didnt do it in a game that had any effect on the league participants


Judging by the results compared to other leagues I don't think anyone actually tanked but some teams may have put a little less effort than they normally would.

I may not agree with you, but it's your choice. I didn't notice any tanking either, just the bot which is annoying to have.

perhaps people werent actually trying to lose, but there were some who obviously werent doing their best to win. Less PB work is one thing, but sitting starters comes very close to tanking in my book, and as carps stated, that is a shame for those affected.

I still don't agree with either scenario; a team tanking, or a team tanking if they think someone else tanked. Has a troubling domino effect on a league. I'm playing this game to be competitive, no reason for me to go to lengths of losing on purpose. But it doesn't matter what I think of this, it's each team's decision.
