Title Bloat

Having a championship title is one of the most sought after accomplishments on LB. If you disagree w/ me...you're lying to yourself. 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.

on the flip side of that just having good battles and winning isn't valued anymore outside of tourney belts. look at Top Notch's induction. its been YEARS and we just now recognized someone without a tourney belt.

Kiwi just upped that with my comments. He was inducted ages ago.

Plus the Reason behind that imo is usually you need to be a top guy to be. HOFer. If youre not THE top guy, usually you don't win titles.
