Re: Defense back in 2016?
Yeah. I don't think many particularly liked the whole no-defense thing, even among offensive teams.

Without defense, there isn't much way for upsets to occur except a mistake by the favorite. Matches become a foregone conclusion.

This is so true, and easily the best reason for defense to be reimplemented, aside from making gameplay more exciting.
