Why this matters

Dropping a team is useful when its core plan repeatedly fails against common structures or when the team no longer answers your learning goal.

A practical approach

Use this as a focused testing loop. The goal is to make one part of your decision process clearer before adding more complexity.

• Separate fixable slot issues from structural problems.
• Review whether the same matchup failure repeats after measured changes.
• Save your notes before moving to a new list.

Example to test

If every version of a team struggles to create a safe speed-control turn, the archetype may need a new structure rather than a seventh patch.
