Lets Settle This EASHL Drop-in Debate
For quite some time since the removal of OTP/Community lobbies along the option to play in an indoor arena with option to change jerseys and pick from various teams around different leagues I find th...

With club it becomes way more difficult now to gather even 5 people to play. We used to recruit throughout community lobbies after developing chemistry there. Now the way drop-in 6's is built the environment is different and not even close to what club is. We spent years giving people chances on our club just to have them troll later. If it wasn't for lobbies the club I was on wouldn't have even started. Community lobbies we all knew one another and could play together which made it a great time. Best part was when say when the National Tournaments, All-Star or Stanley Cup playoffs were on we could select jerseys and have fun with it. Now we can't unless we sign up for LG as the jersey's are locked until we progress. Many of us rather play a quick game of OTP than match up with some E-sports kids who are in Div 1 playing against a D8 club...

Ah so it's ok if you be the dominant team against randoms. It's literally so easy to get 6 for random club games. The LG Shoutbox can take like 5 to 10mins to round up a group towards the night time and weekends. And I'm sure some of you have 1 or 2 friends around to help also fill a slot. It's a great way to actually make gaming friends and expand instead of staying with a group of inconsistent people who aren't around when you want to game. My Xbox friend list has over 100+ people from LG so there isn't a shortage of people to find games for.
You also won't run into majority of the E-sports people because they are usually doing private games as the best type of practice. And anyone that uses the I just want to relax and have fun needs to stop right there and play drop-ins. EASHL Club is a competitive mode that isn't meant to be a Sunday drive thru the park.

Let's take my Apex Legends gaming for example. I play a bunch of ranked in Apex Legends but it was only me and my friend so we would always get a random 3rd for matchup. If they were good and such we ended up becoming friends. After awhile our friend list got bigger and bigger and we eventually found a group with 50+ members who also use a discord. They range from all ages and such and it's a nice community to find games. Point is find the methods and put in some effort to expand yourself.
