Fix one problem, create another.

A few on these forums a few years ago loudly complained about being stuck in a low level league with a team that won 140+ games. So, it was decided to promote these teams more than one level.
Of course, this completely destroys speed running the game. So now my 141 win team from iron league with four 100-level perfects is in low gold where every other team is mostly 100+.
I think more people were having fun with speed running than were inconvenienced by a behemoth in their league. Instead of those people being inconvenienced for 1 week, my team will need 3 weeks to find its level. (unless a team that loses 140+ games gets demoted more than 1 level).

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the super-promotion system either. Justification is that people would park teams in the lowest-level league and then purposely tank in the playoffs to stay there. With this, they're forced up regardless and can't get away with winning 140 games and then putting everything in the card shop on Sunday so that their playoff roster is full of scrubs.

Also not a fan, the most fun I had this edition was my one championship team that had 141 wins in Iron.

They could have adjusted playoff tanking instead of what they did, if they were really worried about it.

I mean, if your average goes from 100 to 50 on your playoff team, obviously you're tanking.

Update: my unchanged team went from 141 wins in iron to just 40 in low gold. My team was also in the weakest division where the champion won just 86 games. Perhaps, there is no easy way to make this perfect, so maybe do away with "super-promotion" in January so the speed runners could have some fun.

I am not against super promotion jumping a level or 2, but Iron to Low Gold is a bit too much. I did not enjoy the delay in how many promotions and relegations were done every week.
