owlWriting open power rankings is actually the worst and most thankless job on earth and anyone who has it in them to do it for more than 2 weeks in a row deserves much praise
Oddly enough I actually agree with owl about something.
Coming from someone who did power rankings several times before, you should expect to weekly ruffle feathers or straight up piss people off no matter how nice you are in the write-ups.
The sad fact is that when most people think about "Power Rankings" it turns into a popularity contest where only the most noteworthy names or teams have any right to be included. My only advice on doing rankings is to have a specific criteria on how to rank teams. In my opinion, I based mostly everything I ranked on "Match Results" because in my mind they were the most important criteria from week to week. I did take into account scrim results and rosters but to a much less degree than actual match results.
Keep the writing going! There are a lot of people who appreciate writers but don''t respond in the threads. You usually only see the negative responses.
