Title Bloat

If you take away titles it will put a dent in activity at tournament time. I probably wouldn't even enter a tournament if there was no title on the line tbh.

Thats the point though. Back when I joined, some dudes had a 20 battle streak against the best but only so they could prove their worth. Not for a title but because people noticed. We lost that when there were 40 opportunities for a title. When you dont have new opportunity every month, then you find worth outside of titles.

This is why I lost interest in battling on here and I said it a few times

Back in my day we didnt have 20 tournaments a year.. just 4... Basic Audio/Text, Exclusive Audio/Text...maybe 8 if they decided to do it twice.

In my first 7 yrs in LetsBeef there might've been 30-40 tournaments. In my last 7 yrs, theres probably been like 10 tourneys/year.

I don't even know what you said I just saw that you don't have a title and skipped your response...

LOL

Fair enough though. I do agree that there are too many titles/tournaments. Limiting the amount of tournaments could work. However, If you've earned a title in the past...you keep it. No one will be able to convince me that people who have earned titles should be willing to give them up.

I completely agree no titles should be removed or demoted. But at the same time do we delete One Bar all together? Make the new ones non title even though its the same competition? Hard to say tbh

i respect 1 bar ... it shows who's got the best bars, without consistency. always wanted to try my luck with that

tag titles are weak cuz its only half you ... but probably the funnest title to win. pick ur partner, rely on him .. get through it together


i dont see a point for seasonal ... if you made them interchangeable, that'd be dope. Especially since theres 3-4 of them ... possibilties to become the 'undisputed' champion

topical is dead ... but its an art in itself. closest to track making probably

i remember when i first joined ... Meta4, Real talk, Left Field .... u'd look up to Grand champions. u kinda still do, cuz it means something .... but its nowhere near as rare. I remember it being a big deal .... now, not as much. seems like half the members are champions and thats wrong yo ... no prestige.

Scheme championship is dope too ... its easy to write for, just go off whatever rhyme it is. i like it ... May is my month


i just think something should be done about the overwhelming number of champions ... 100% for it. i dont wanna take mind fucks title away from him tho, nigga dont get a chance to defend it. That ain't right



.... ..... & Rookie Champion Should be Changed to 'Rookie of the year' ... and have the year they won it.

From the guy who has no titles....they earned them, wear them proudly

But I do agree with cutting down the number of tournaments.

I don't think there's too many titles, that's just how old the site is and how many of those "old timers" are still hanging around. The concept of winning something like a GC in high school and coming back 10 years later to battle these new kids seems cool as fuck to me. I don't know about y'all but it's cool to see people like @Phil Banks @Ticket @Skitt_Blazin @Esso around
