We don't need consensus and we aren't going to submit our findings to GW, but for the purposes of custom tailoring experiences, it's good to know some the squeekiest wheels out there. I don't know what to do about amazons and vamps as teams for example, but given some of the back and forth, it might be worth looking into adjustments for league play if they're a consistent problem in leagues (without reaching for the banhammer entirely) |

Too small to give me any real hope. |
This doesn't fix passing for some rosters, but it will save punting and HMP. On the flip side, it will make Bombardier slightly better.
HMP at -3 is now 7/12 to scatter 3 or less, 1/4 to scatter more than 3, and 1/6 to fumble. If you have Cannoneer, and Pass in the event of a fumble, it's 7/9 to scatter 3 or less, 7/36 to scatter 4 or more, and 1/36 to fumble. That's actually not bad.
Punts are better too, but sometimes not in the way you expect, which is actually good design for punts, yes? Punts aren't supposed to be super reliable, they're just also not supposed to be typically fruitless.
The gain isn't as big with bombs. Sure, close counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but not-so-close also counts in punts, but in bombs not so much. Still, the current rules are actually worse for them than the old "mod 1 is a fumble" was, because at least if you got mobbed you'd blow up your marks too. But this is better still, as there's a chance the deviation might not matter much.

I made an effort to compile all these complaints at the bottom of page 8, if that helps. |
