Based Evolution

Evolution was a League Modification (or Rule) first implemented in the with the passing of the Decree, stating that "Every Third Championship a Team wins will cause the Team and its Players to Evolve. Players that round the phylogenic Bases will get to go Home."
Evolved Teams gain a special customized team Modification, while evolved players gain a protected star in each category and an additional item slot. 
==History==
Evolution is a mechanic that was originally introduced during the as a Decree. During the Season 2 election, the Evolve Decree stated "The team with the most fans will Evolve.". It however did not pass, and was outvoted by The Fourth Strike and Peanuts.
In the , Based Evolution was offered as one of three possible Decrees the community could vote on to go into effect, alongside the following:
*Title Belt Win the Championship to claim the Belt, then Defend it in Title Matches next Season. The Holder of the Belt is protected from Steals and Swaps and guaranteed a Postseason Birth. Should the Holder win the Championship, they will claim a Title.
*Pennants The Champion of each season will play the following season under Pennants, starting every game at a severe disadvantage. Win the Internet Series under Pennants in order to Repent.
Based Evolution passed with 247,049 Votes, 53% of all Decree Votes, alongside the following message:
*FROM NURSERY TO VAULTPILLARS QUAKEACCRETIONFIRST STEPSROUNDING FIRST
==Based Evolution==
For every third Internet Series championship a team wins, each player on that team's current active roster (i.e. not including Shadows) advances by a single evolutionary "base" (the first evolution being from "Base" to "Base 1"), and the team is granted a unique permanent modification thematically related to the specific team. Player evolution is a one-off effect – unevolved players transferred to evolved teams will not evolve, and evolved players transferred to unevolved teams will retain their evolutionary level.
If a player has the Base 1 evolution, their first star in each category is protected, indicated by that star turning gold and gaining a circle around it. The player then can never have their stars reduced below that level, meaning Base 1 players will always have at least one star in each stat category. As of the introduction of the Items tab at the end of Season 15, evolved players also unlock a number of additional item slots corresponding to their evolution – for example, Base 1 players have two available item slots instead of one.
