Adapting a franchising system makes it like more like actual sports like the NBA and NFL, and its still very competitive. Of course, this sub is mostly a bunch of kids that have never worked a real job in thier lives (and why should they, most are not even out of highschool/college yet) they dont understand that the players are real people that need the financial stability and that relegations will not make the league any more competitive because the top 6 teams are not even effected at all. All it does is scare new players and veterans into forming a new team. There is no incentive to invest in the long run, all owners see are the next 6 months. A new team may struggle at first and stay bottom of the rankings but improving is a process, and there are numerous examples of this in actual sports. Besides, league is past the point of 5 players forming one team and just making it into the lcs. If players want a place on an lcs team, they prove themselves individually or as a duo and then recieve offers.

Personally, I think if every org had a system like TL did with 1 team in challenger and 1 in LCS, and use challenger as a training grounds ( very common to real sports ) it would improve overall player health and longevity as well as the talent and competitiveness of the league
