Also the counter is fend which is a general skill which costs a normal skill for most teams.

The "fend" argument is pretty weak imo. You are not going to have a team full of fend just for when you play the super basher. Well maybe you will, but I havent seen it yet. Sure you can have fend on a few players, but then they dont get blitzed.

I want to do RVD's move where he put the chair on the guys face across the ring and then did a spring drop kick from across the ring. No clue what it was called but damn it looked nasty


Haha yeah, he would toss a chair at them, they would catch it, and he would spinning jump kick them through it. Good Times
Sabu would get RVD to hold a chair next to the downed victims head, get a running start and slide kick the chair. Tha has Blood Bowl potential...

I still say making Piling On only available for Block actions, not Blitz actions (in the same way as multiple block) would be a very balancing nerf. But making a foul more successful is definitely kind of fun Smile

Nah, that is horrible fluffwise and is a nasty nerf on the hybrid teams.

Nice idea in theory, but you don't actually have fend on a single player in any of your teams. Why? because there just isn't room for it until your team is over 1600 tv anyway. It is a pretty weak skill on the whole that only a handful of teams can really spam to great effect. Khemri, Amazons, Nose and Dwarves maybe Chaos Dwarves too.

I have created a pro elf team with every intention of spamming Fend across my team to see if it does actually work and is actually possible and so far I have reached a TV of 1400 and I am yet to take it on any of my players because there are just so many other skills that are far far better than it and I dont fancy meeting another elf team that has good skills and get beat just because I took fend en masse.

incidentally, on the 'fend' argument, take a look at WMD's in the box - they generally split their 5th skill between tackle and grab, and so they end up with players who ignore fend anyway. (The 6th skill is the other one of tackle or grab)

I think it was pointed out that the fend defender, fends as much as a Lemming fends off speedily approaching rocks, thus making the argument as mute as it ever was.

The proof is in the pudding. The people saying how great Fend is, dont even take it. That is pretty funny.

As for RVD. VANDAMINATOR!!! I dont know if he could do that move anymore. he is getting up there in age
