It's all about informed consent. If you make an offer "You can be my wingman anytime!", and the other dude is cool with that then that's all well and good. However if the other dude responds "No, you can be my wingman!" without understanding that this involves lube and a reach around then that is not informed consent. |

Stop smoking crack Overhamsteren.
Anyone can pick in ranked.
This is just a huge blaring example. |

You're right.
I should give in to the pink side, and make a [R]anked team & just play newbs.
What a hero I would be.
Like maybe, Purplechest, or Livis. Or some other real big guy.
Who are the big "Ranked Heroes?" I can't think of one right now.
I can't think of any of them, and I don't find any rankers inspiring because they prey on newbs. There is not a single Ranked team known for "not picking on new guys." |

The Great Gobbo - Der Green Tide?
But if you don't think that qualifies why don't you show the way Bill. Storm the division with a new team that doesn't prey on newbs. Smack's are kinda like a really slow box activation. That and I'm sure all those kill all menz advocates would love a pickup game against a Braskified ranked team. Wouldn't they? |

A very noble challenge.
I had my share of ranked long ago.
Thanks for the offer.
I can't find any ranked coaches willing to play anything, not blaringly in their favor, unless the are new.
It's just a huge problem with me.
I'm sure there are plenty of you that don't have those problems though.
Lots of folks seem not to mind playing vs full newbs.
From what it looks like to me, they seem to target them. |

And of course, you never play vs newbs in B. Definitely not 66% of your recent games... |

Surely the games in Ranked are not a matter of picking, so much as they are extended periods of 'recovery games'
=P

Surely all the new guys team's aren't picking on new guys, as they're playing all the experienced coaches? This is just a badly thought out argument all round. Picking happens in R, but isn't ubiquitous. Just like boring CPOMB spam happens in B, but isn't ubiquitous. |

And yet...
No one has shown me a pink team that has not played a majority of games vs other senior teams.
I doubt it exists. |

You doubt a team exists that has NOT played mostly against senior teams? So now you're saying there are no pickers? |

Which of course is fully the defence of anyone you could suggest is targeting newbs. |
