Alliances in the bronze and silver bracket, honest observations. .
This going to be a long and rambling post you have been warned. Late in 2017 I joined an alliance after awhile of not being in one, It was a new one. The leader had as a top champ a four star rank 2, he was a really good guy kept us organized and we barely made it into the silver bracket that first season, i stayed in that one until the spring after a season or two he announced he was fed up and deleting the game. He wished us luck promoted a buddy of mine and me up to officer and told us have fun, have not spoken to him sense. Our alliance quickly went downhill as the new leader would move champs around willy nilly in AW and in general made a pain of himself. After voicing our concerns me and two friends were kicked from the alliance right before rewards were handed out at the end of the season. We then joined another alliance, once again the leader was a rank 2, four star as his top champ. Awesome guy kept us on point, really active in recruiting. He pulled a goldpool and pool stayed his top champ for a couple weeks without passing rank one, in a few more weeks he announced that he was deleting the game and promoted me to leader, I quickly found out why these guys were getting burnt out, as being the leader is a rough thing to be, as you need to take part in everything the alliance does. Within a week I passed the leadership role to a new friend and we saw that season out both of us trying to cover recruitment and running the alliance together, it was still exhausting and nether of us progressed much. I grew to dread having to log on and sort out minor squabbles between alliance members, the game had lost all fun and I was not progressing at all. Sure I was popping a lot of crystals and had tons of glory and gold but no Iso or Class Cats. This put a hold on my rank ups, we then decided to merge with another alliance for the next season. Once again the leader has remained stagnate with just a couple rank one 5 stars, and a few rank two fours. I have reached a conclusion that I hope you guys will comment on down below that being a leader/senior officer in an alliance is really tough on developing players and causes many to drop out of the game due to burn out and lack of progression. I almost came close to deleting when a new member of the alliance I was trying to help run at the time accused me of cheating, this is a game and should be relaxing not just more stress to lay on people. This is all just my two cents have you guys had similar experiences, or do you think it is best for new summoners to try and run alliances to progress quickly. Thanks for commenting and don't call out alliance or other summoners names, thanks and remember its just a game.
