Well so far I can see that coaching happens with lower tier players, fillers if you may. I really doubt that a top tier player would be thrilled by the fact that they are forced to be coached. I know I would not take any coaching but then again it depends how u define coaching. For me coaching is helping a player multiple turns in a duel. I really dont think theres nothing we can do for that 1 turn help in a whole match, Ive used it and im pretty sure everyone has aswell its just how it is you cant help it. But anything further than that is coaching.
Now to fix the problem of coaching I have a couple suggestions
-lesser slots in a team, that way only the elite will get picked. And as we know, its less likely that an established player will require the need of coaching because they are more than capable on their own.
- have the % win define OU1 and OU2. That way you have the best player in each team dueling the best player in the other team and etc. And again, u should feel ashamed of yourself if you need coaching vs a similarly talented player.
-have a delay on the spectate mode, this will require help from the devs but I really think this would help not only for psl but for the comp scene all together. Sure people will say third party softwares but that requires a big load of effort to achieve coaching that is unnecesary in the first place since everyone should be dueling a similarly talented player.
- Harsher punishements, we can compare ghosting to a murder in real life, its the worst thing u can do in their respective contexts. If you commit a murder and all u get is a yellow card and 1 week in jail trust me the world would have exploded already, and we should take exemple of spl, they ban u for life and put your name in the ground.
With all these tweeks to psl I reallly think we can make it way better without allowing coaching. Lets be real if coaching allowed its not called psl anymore.
If you have anything to add go ahead let me know what yall think
