Two is counter-productive to tournament prep.
With the new MVP rule.. maybe that will change. |
That is cool. I would say with the MVP rule it will be harder to get that sweet game you are looking for. This because you will not face as many teams with players who have one or two skills so the power will be piled into 3-4 players at that TV. I would guess that even on a developed elf team you are going to see at least a pair of Mighty Blow Tacklers. |

It's the old Ranked dilemma really, if you're building for Majors you shouldn't really be accepting matches that are likely to leave your team worse off than before. It used to be that 2x MB Tackle was a case of "at least no PO" but that has changed now. Of course, it's easier to control 2x MB Tackle if they are AG2 MA4, than AG4 MA7+ Dodge. As a general rule I if I offer Elfbowl games I tend to look for equality, so if I have one MB Tackle I will offer to teams that also have one.
And then I'll get impatient and offer to some Orcs and take two perms on good players. Damn that apoth. Always the same story. |

Maybe he wasn't dodging.
Coaches that multi-green on gamefinder can either be picking or just accepting the first taker.
He maybe declined or he got scared at your tackle+mb, or he just accepted some other faster challenger. |

Green lighting people and then rejecting them anyway seems rather an annoying practise. People wait for an offer and then find out it is just a false dawn.
Declining due to two mighty blow tacklers? Wow. Though it does seem to be sadly common. |

Wow, are the Amateurs suddenly going to have a hard time getting games 'cuz we're too bashy?
I mean, we usually like to carry 3 MB/Tackle. There was a time, oh, two weeks ago, when this wouldn't have scared much of anybody. |

Before they were mid hitters in a shark infested pool. Now they are significant hitters in the drained and reassigned paddling pool. There is still some dps and claws floating about though. |
