But how else are you going to get a ST4 gutter runner on a dark elf team?

Which build includes a Witch Elf and 4 Blitzer and 2 rerolls?
4 Blitzer plus Runner > 3 Blitzer and Witch Elf

I disagree.

Line elf > Runner.

I prefer to have the four players with Block on the front who do the blocking and blitzing stuff. If I'm playing Stunty or Wood Elf it differs.

I would take all positionlas except the assasins. That would mean four blitzers, two witches and two runners and only three linemen. Blitzers are fantastic +ma and block make them much better than linemen. Witches are even better: dodge, frenzy and jump up make them the true blitzes of the dark elf team. take them earky so they will get block, before your opponent gets tackle.Runners are fantastic: a ball carrier that simply throws the ball to a team mate when attecked makes it much harder to free the ball for zhe opponent. You probanly only need one of them, but I would take two, if one rests in the KO-Box the other can take over.
Assasins on the other hand are pure trash in my opinion: to slow for shadowing and to fragile to stab opponents. And you will never skill these guys, because stabing won't make them better.

I'd go the 4 blitzers route. Also swap the runner for an assassin.

You can now easily skill anyone you like to with mvp on d3.
Two Runners is questionable since it effectively offers an AV7 target with no defense/offense positional value whatsoever.

Yep.

They are trash.

a runner is nice once the rest of the team is purchased and built up.

Since Dark Elves lack expectional speed, a Runner add movement by the ball carrier. I cannot believe that you really favor a +AV over +MA and Dump Off on your ball carrier!

probably not the issue, considering you probably do everything you can to not let the ball carrier get hit.

That said, dump off has won me more games than its lost because i tend to plan ahead for it
