Other than repeating that I don't go out of my way to get him blocked, just find it funny when it happens... Yes. I do. Maybe not to unseat the champ, but to soar up the list, yes. |

The big change isn't ageing, it's the fact that a HUGE number of SPPs isn't the team drag it used be, so a gutter can get 500 SPPs if he wants and still be the same value as when he was 176 SPPs |

Yeah, I was just going to point this out. You can get a block+claw+MB+PO+tackle+frenzy beastman and just keep on racking up the kills without him dragging the rest of the team down. |

Prov, that IS impressive, but I was thinking over-all, not just box. That said, I manipulate those lists so I can feel good about having the 3rd oldest active ranked human blitzer
Ark, I thought of something..... Don't people tend to focus a lot of energy on killing OTT GR? That could explain why one hasn't already made it to the top. |

I'm going for interceptions.
A +ag passblock Slaan catcher with catch can intercept very very well with only 2 skills. There's going to be considerably more high AV cas due to claw, and I think the increase in cas rate and weakened apo will stop the real supermonsters (500+spp). |

intercepting - as its easier in CRP for players with vll, ie slann, while all the other things on the poll are more or less the same difficulty as they always were. |

I always figured it was aging and TR bloating that did it, but yeah, good point. |

Well, all-time TD leaders among ranked GR only list 2 as dead in the top 25, but..... There are a lot of niggles that would contribute greatly to death in CRP... It could be interesting to see what happens! |

Intercepting... I agree.
Harder to hurt anyone in CRP it seems so can't be casualties (yes, I know about the combo of skills). Added to the nerfed fouling is the option to take +AV (I can see this on a lot of those Gutters and Wardancers that have other usefill skill combos already and don't need the MV so much).

No one thinks a ST 4 block Frenzy guy might take the CAS crown, eh?
I'll have to wait and do that with my Fanatic, I suppose. Meantime, the wife is gone for the weekend, so I should get at least 4 games in. If I focus on my DE, My lovely runner will see if he can keep his completion average above one per game! Current leader for Runners has 33 in 26 games, so it should be possible! |

A clear proof of how much fouling has been nerfed and massive fouling doesn't necessary bring you wins, huh? |
