The thing is Erick isn't talking about League, he's talking about the server and the community as a whole. I think his point is that our tiers is a staple thing in Reborn and allowing stuff like Chandy/SS/Excadrill and genesect and everything. It makes us different from other communities and servers and we've had people stay because of it. He's not saying it's either ladders or league. He's saying stay true to how we are or change for the ladders. And you can't say the ladder goes unignroed, we made the CS tier that no one seems to use, we but Kyurem-B in OU and every so often we have tier discussions and votes.
