A question for the philosophers

How many new champs are actually being played.

So yes, the team is productive (they are producing), but they aren't very efficient at their job, as no one wants to use their production.

There are more champs enjoyed than there were before, thus progress has been made toward improving the game. However, with a 25% acceptance rate, the production efficiency has not changed, ie, the amount of new used content per time spent. It also hasn't decreased though.

Yup.

The problem arises in your definition of progress. Obviously progress has been made. The number of champs now is > than the number of champs before. Progress. So asking if any progress has been made is a redundant question.
