Ok then, let's just give the cup to the team with the highest average TPE. GMs SHOULD have influence over their team's success and failure because, yknow, they manage the team. If we wanna make it all about players then why not remove the ability to set lines entirely? Why not remove essentially all coaching decisions a GM could theoretically make? If you want to refocus the league on players this isn't really the way to do it.

Also I'm sure HO relying on teammates tattling on others for test simming will make the community much more united and friendly with each other! It's not like toxicity is also a problem that people pointed out in that massive GMing article!

Their influence is building the roster and team community.  We still let them set lines because auto lines are a total dice roll with no apparent logic to them.   (they also turn on unit and individual sliders which are disabled now)

This ban is the most united I've seen the GMs on any one issue since I joined HO.  The vast majority are happy to see test simming gone.  I'm sure there will be accusations thrown around sooner or later, verifying or discrediting those is part of our job.
