All right kids. Daddy Adam is here.
Yes, controversial decisions were made. For example, the GMs who voted for Portland ought to have a good explanation why.
But let's not be unfair here. The idea that the powers that be aren't doing anything to improve things and don't care to isn't really a proper assessment when we're discussing the literal first season of a brand new awards system that got voted in and required essentially coming up with a system on the fly while a new one could be developed (a position I've just applied for for transparency's sake). There is clearly and undeniably effort and care about improving this.
That's on top of having to build two expansion setups, managing the greatest recruitment class in history, dealing with a league altering vote (and backlash when it didn't go the way some people wanted), and also you know the normal parts of end of season stuff.
No it's not perfect. And yes errors were made. As Infinite pointed out however, the egregious inclusion of Portland was actually more of an anomaly that is somewhat different from the original complaint. The votes are still sort of questionable but they're also not even the fault of the group that was given responsibility in this post. That being the committee itself. Also it wasn't the fault of the second group being given responsibility, that being HO.
@Vorshayla I think you need to take a deep breath here and realize that your issues and what actually happened here don't quite align.
