World of Chel Revamped 2.0
This is off the top of my head, if there is any interest I'd love to go into it deeper but just a very TLDR of what I would do to revamp the WOC at a fundamental level WORLD OF CHEL REVAMPED 2.0 (WO...

The playoffs seem like it might be hard to pull off, not sure how many people would be commited to something like that. The cash prize does add an incentive, who knows.
Making user goalie disconnects count as an automatic loss in club makes 100% sense to me, even if it's a true disconnect, * happens every once in a while, it is what it is. Minimum 4 skaters for 6s makes sense to me as well, I can live with one CPU on my team or against me, but 2 is frustrating.
I honestly think 3s in club should also be locked to 3 human skaters, and any disconnects = forfeit.
OTP/Drop-ins being called ranked might scare people away to be honest. I think it's fine to keep info/ratings about your skill level and to make leaving/being an idiot more punishing on said ratings, but having two modes that sound like they are ranked in some fashion seems intimidating and might scare away new players. If you want to add a solo queue drop-in ranked mode so that people can build their "reputation" as a Free Agent, that's fine I guess, but there still needs to be an option that appears casual. Could be "Ranked quick-play" and "Casual drop-ins" where you can queue with friends for the latter (as much as I find it lame playing with friends but not playing club).
- @t99siwkitznf Lots of good points and ideas here so I'll add on a bit more to them:
So I played in the EASHL back in 09 and watched on the Xbox as the Purple Cobraz ran the gauntlet to make the finals and beat the PS3 team the NHL Regulators. There was some insane moments like #1 ranked Shammers United losing in round one to The Giant Shafts, more commonly known as getting shafted. It was something that gave purpose to the EASHL in a yearly sense and I think you can probably make it Best of 5 or change dates / times but there needs to be an end of year tournament to showcase the best of the best in the EASHL from my POV.
The goalie disconnect sucks but it has to be the standard unfortunately to avoid people abusing dropping if their goalie is having a bad game. It sucks but you can't cover everything and it is better for the game to maintain the integrity than try to compensate for the internet right now since the foundation of the game is non-existent from my POV. Maybe when the game and structure is sound they revisit and add a reconnect or improved pause feature to compensate, but I don't think they can bandage it and should just start from ground 0 and have maximum room to adapt down the line
3s club I have no experience with tbh so that's for the younglings to debate but they should have an equal competition and opportunity as 6s, we should not separate and alienate the two, we should aim to have both running side by side and encourage clubs to play all competitive modes IMO.
Can just keep it named OTP and assign a rating and have it there, doesn't have to be some super deem system just + for win and - for loss and it displays and thats it, something they would have had in classic EASHL and a feature they can tune, but it just needs to be in the game so we can start to maybe improve it. I agree there has to be a casual area of OTP and so the rating is something I think should just be considered your "normal rating" and its just there it is what it is, if you want to play online you have a rating and everyone does type deal. Think it would incentivize more people than it would scare away because right now the issue isn't attracting players to trying online games, it's quality of game being awful in matchmaking or non club environments
