Legends at playing lots of chess. Leagues are NOT about quality.

The point is nothing. Even your league is legend but you still play on your elo rate.

What do you win if you win the league you are in? Do you get a trophy or prize?

The League system promotes chess mania. It's probably recommended to play two hours a day as the Chess Mood people say, and then devote other time to study. Getting 1,800 points in a week is a lot of playing time.

This is what needs fixing over all the other things they have wasted effort on like confetti animations and such imo.

It's rigged yes, because only 3 min blitz players will ever get to Legends club. No matter what other's say or do it will only ever be heavy blitz players who are in the Legends club. I've done the math, their is no way around it...

As a victim of elo anxiety, The divisions and leagues are the reason I'm not as scared of losing elo anymore because now I don't care as much of rating anymore and all I care about is ranking up in the leagues and then I will worry about elo (or I could restart my rank to the wooden division and start all over again!)
