yeah, but hiring 4 stars is NOT a viable option every game & since coach rating is only affected after 7 games it serves no purpose does it spoon? |

Its not been 7 games for quite some time. Also [B]lackbox dosent affect CR. I agree that on the whole Ameranths abuse wont be an issue though, simply because it is unsustainable without starting a new team each time - something which I'd have thought would mean he didnt score well in any ranking system. |

No, it most certainly isn't viable.
However, one thing it was, was lots of fun to try once.  |

actually i wasn't "blathering" about anyone....
was simply making the point that blackbox will encourage powergaming to the point where it will force coaches to stop building teams catered to a style of play that is anti-elf or pro-slaughter, or something of the like, and will encourage coaches to build a team catered to team longevity...

I'm thinking certain peeps are gonna keep building the same type of teams & the coaches who like to compete will make the type of teams shadow suggests and adapt to the division. |

I don't think so. Matter of fact, he seemed rather pissed. Though it did cause the minimum compatibility score to be tweaked on the first day, so the alpha-testing was a success.
To be fair, they played two more games with 9 linos and a TS that made Flings laugh. |

Cherrypicking is old fashion.
Cherry-offering is the new black!
That's why I started humans in DivB!!! To give away my cherry!  |

Still, it can be worth considering for future reference that your little enjoyment wasted probably around an hour of somebody else's time, and you being whopped in the following matches didn't do him any good. But concern for others seems to be very low priority in internet game communities, so at least you don't have to feel alone in being selfish. |
