And that's fair enough. TBH though, I still don't get where the 'balance' issue actually is? Sure, it is possible (although very infrequent) to get relegated with a record of above .500. But doing so is the result of performing inadequately against folks in the league you ended up in. Where you are placed does introduce a certain element of RNG into the mix, granted, but the end result is still determined principally by how your team performs. I've been in diamond for a long time now and although I've certainly seen varying strengths of division, conference and league I've yet to see any I would consider grossly 'unfair' or 'unbalanced'. My results have actually been remarkably consistent week on week.
