I've seen a couple of posts here that say Wild Animal is the worst Big Guy trait to have, but I didn't see any explanation as to why? Are these comments pre-Living Rulebook recent changes to WA?
I am back in Blood Bowl after a long while, so I am an 'old' newbie...
Also, can you still buy/remove the negative Big Guy traits?
Thinking of starting a Skaven team and wondering about the 'new' Rat Ogres and whether I should start with one, so any comments along those lines would be appreciated as well... |

Nah you cant remove negative traits anymore sadly.
Wa sucks basically because most of the time you have to use a blitz to get the bloody things to actually do anything!
Also on a (1) its then a wasted blitz.
Don't fancy wasting it then its a 4+ to do anything at all 
No more scoring with rat ogres matey 
Don't complain too much though until recently they had to roll a 4+ to roll over after a stinking stun 
Don't bother take more gutter runners instead  |

Also something I neglected is you still pay for the Ag3 on your rat ogres.
So worse negative skill but no cost reduction? 
They cheated us! |

Yeah, you keep your tackle zones... which proves once and for all that being angry is better than being stupid. |

Also...WA can block on 2+, so they can block or blitz like a BH. Plus they have Frenzy for 2 blocks...and retain TZs as stated above... Makes them a great Big Guy...the AG 3 as a BC still works, you just eat a blitz to advance the ball... |

Rat Ogres are good. Put them next to some linos then wait. If they dodge (Prehesile tail) they are likely to fail and deplete rerolls. If they stay there, HIT THEM HARD.
I love my Rat Ogre too... 
And Minos have horns, wich makes them blitz any Troll or Ogre at 2d without assists.
I love my Mino.

Lets not forget physical traits.
With Razor Sharp Claws <or> Claws with Multi-block the Rat Ogre and Minotaur have the potential of being the deadliest players on the field. The Minotaur being a little better with Horns. |

Wild Animal is great because even if you fail you do not lose yur tacklezone.
Wild Animal sucks becuase you have a mere 50% (often less ) chance that the Big Guy does something useful if you do not blitz or block.
And 1 out of 6 blitzes is wasted...
IMO it evens out. As it should. |
