Luti is the backbone of the competitive Splatoon scene in the west, being the largest non Nintendo tournament with over 600 teams signing up to commit too at least 5 weeks of competition.
The idea of being on a team playing pointless weeklies or being a casual deciding they want a bit more of stronger experience to then going to a system that in theory defines your skill among other people that are also participating in this skill placing tournament is in essence very exciting, and it's no wonder why there's all of a sudden a fresh feeling of life in the community when a Luti season is announced.
Most competitive players define themselves with Luti divisions, using it as a gage for where they sit in the scene in terms of skill. Some tournaments even use Luti divs in their rules even though there's long breaks between seasons!
The importance of Luti to comp Splatoon is obvious, and shouldn't be downplayed(I hate it when to's or anyone downplays Luti divs saying it's strictly only relevant during the season)....
....Which is why Luti should be held more often.
If the breaks between Luti seasons were shorter then there'd be more overall consistent excitement within the comp community, and the Luti divs which are going to be used anyway as a gage of skill across the community would be more accurate since Luti results and recent tournament results between seasons would be used to better place people into more accurate divisions.
