The other issue that arises from the PO uses a Team Reroll is that Big Guys no longer want to take the big guy skill....PILE ON...they have to make a loner roll just to use the skill.
Oh, well...... |

Claw should have been +1 on AV rolls against everything
Piling On should have been re-roll injury roll only
Aging should have been brought back again but with a different penalty. A failed aging roll should result in a permanent +10 on the casualty table (48 becomes 58 and so on). This would result in aged players dying easier but it wouldn't affect their performance on the field. |

Ye Old Keeblers will sorely miss The Oven Master.
Now, I always figured his lifespan was limited, because who's going to pass up booting that guy.
I'd prefer just about any option to changing PO to MB, and agree that Stand Firm is the best possible choice for substitution. |

I think the biggest hit is on humans, norse and the such, who heavily relied on pomb. With the crap fouling and no po they lost much of their attrition potential.
Claw teams still have ClawMB, which is a very decent combo. |

Without quoting. Decreased attrition isn't a bad thing in my opinion as i think it means less luck. I think that was the problem most people had with Pile on anyway whether they knew it or not. It's annoying when that skaven/human cpomb blitzer makes three blitzes and removes three players.
Elves that chose pile on are much more easily replaced, and imo shouldn't have chose pile on as a skill anyway.
Dwarf, Humans, Norse, Orcs? (non mutation) teams are maybe weakened, but the relative difference of CPOMB vs POMB & now CMB vs MB isn't significantly different statistically.
I don't see the problem. |

From the release notes:
EDIT: pilingOnUsesATeamReroll now active in all divisions. Skill will be removed in [R] and [B] later.
Is it possible to deactivate it in Leagues, do we know? |

You can disable PO (or any skill you want) in the ruleset for your league. |

I would rather my High Elf blitzer doesn't get double MB. Might not be worth it to keep him. |

Ah, I need to look at rulesets. Thanks for the pointer. Now I just need to figure out how rulesets work. Can't find this |
