God knows I love to produce a Hot ISFL Take from time to time, so I'll try doing that now. I'll revisit my desire to see regression messed with a bit to address a couple issues that exist in the league right now. Firstly, from what I understand, TPE inflation has produced an environment wherein a max-earner will stay at a capped build for upwards of 3 seasons, which is too long in my opinion. Having a huge chunk of players playing with capped builds means fewer opportunities for a player to personalize their build and make it theirs (this is a huge limitation of the sim itself but it does not help when max earners stay capped for so long). So I would like to see regression tinkered with such that players stay capped for a bit less time, maybe a season and a half, but they also don't regress into obscurity quite so quickly. Ideally I'd like to see the 13-season limit which mathematically exists under the current regression rules formally codified, and make the front-end of regression harsher and the back-end of regression milder.
