Those are the same stats that the BBRC used to conclude that everything in the rule set works as intended and those are the same leagues that didnt find any issues with Pilling On, something that Doubleskulls himself now feels is too powerful. | How do you know how long those leagues were run? Where is the data on that? And can you link to DS quoted as saying that PO is too powerful anywhere outside of MM leagues please? |

Ok cd's get claw on top of already having block/tackle
Tackle only effects dodgers most of who have have av7/8 anyway
Theres only 6 possible CLPOMB's on the team not 16 (ok ridiculous but possible)
They are very bad at moving (MA4) so makes it easier to run away
They are bad at ball-handling (AG2) so they only have 1 purpose which is to hit things.
I'd rather face clawpomb now with elves than the old claw/rsc combo with block tackle which destroyed elf/zon/other little dodger teams.
Some might not agree but clawpomb on its own doesn't kill ball handling teams as much as used to happen.
I'm fine with CD's having claw especially as it is a double which adds the TV weight to the team. I think either beastmen or CW's should need a double too (but not both) pumps the TV a bit and stops mass clawpomb as often as it appears now.
I'm looking at you Brasky |

I didn't play in the old box because everyone told me not too from the moment i joined. So dont know about that really. |
Do you recall why they might have said that?
Could it perhaps have been because mass DP, claw+RSC, khems, dwarves etc meant that it was just no fun for most people?
That maybe even with unmodified C-POMB LRB6 Box is still actually more fun than LRB4 Box.

As for building big sides. In Lrb4 i don't think i ever achieved it, I had one or too fairly good teams some nice zons, humans and Chaos Dwarves i think, but it was a hell of a lot harder to build teams then and a lot more rewarding and interesting.
But im not interested in building big sides, if i was i would play ranked. I would just like to play at all different TV ranges and get enjoyment from it like i used to. But now I find myself limited to a TV bracket of 1200 - 1600 where games are enjoyable. After that they are just dull now. imo |
So where did you play all the TV ranges before that you cannot play them now? It sounds as though you are comparing Box to Ranked/League and blaming the rules when the Box doesn't work out the way you'd like it.
Sure, we can nerf C-POMB and buff fouling. But the Box is still gonna be pretty nasty beyond 1700.
How far are you planning to advance your new chaos? |

I'm not really planning, I'm just messing about really, trying a new team that i have never given a go.
About Box, for me the old box from what i understood could have been sorted out with just onew rule change - Journeymen which is a great rule.
New Box... is it more fun or is it just played in more because it was the first division to swap over? I dont know?
TV ranges etc.... Yeah i played them in ranked and league to a lesser extent but you clearly dont understand my issues despite having layed them out a million times and i really cant be bothered to repeat my self all the time. I also do not care if things get nasty about a certain TV I dont care that the game is bloody and violent. It should be although it has been done in the wrong way imo.
Why do you keep derailing the topic?
This isnt about CPOMB either.
It is a simple question.
Do you chaos Dwarves need Claw?
No I don't think they do. If you had of asked anyone when playing LRB4 do you think we should give CDs a trait where they can lower an opponents Av to 7 and it stacks with MB. I'm 100% sure everyone would have laughed in their face.
The only reasonable reason anyone has given for CDs to have it is becase Chaos and Nurgle have access to it and those teams would destroy chaos dwarves and put them in the same bin with Orcs and Dwarves if CDs didnt have it. This may be true but this is not a good reason to give CDs Claw access. The problem is the other two teams really. |

Yeah very good. A few extreme examples over the course of 8 years. We all know the pitch clearance is a far more common occurance now than it was then. |

I used to clear the pitch all the time. DP and the eye didn't have to make fouling tactical, if you wanted to kill teams you killed teams, simple as. |

I'm sorry but thats clearly just nonesense. If you could constantly clear pitches with ease. How come you arent the higest ranked coach on the site. Sure it might have been possible if people left their players open for big gang fouls every turn. But who would do such a thing? |

You had to be dedicated to killing mens to do it, not many people went all in on DP the way everyone goes all in on Clawpomb these days.
Studman probably cleared pitches more than anyone else in CRP, it doesn't have to equal winning.
I think nerfing DP harmed CDs as they fouled more than Dwarfs I am sure, and most likely more than Orcs too. |
