This is of course a post about my new league
Spelledaren's next big thing
It is a league without a schedule, so a low pressure place to have some fun, with custom rosters based on some classic teams. A first season has started, but stalled once Black box throphy got going and captured everyone's attention.
In this post I will lay out suggestions for tweaking the rosters used for next season. Any changes made to their first version is marked in bold. First come the rosters, and at the end some commentary. Feel free to discuss regardless of if you plan to join or not. All of the team designs can be modified, the whole point of this post is to listen to advice.

___________________________________________
Some commentary:
Not a lot of games have been played with these rosters yet. I have gotten a bit of feedback anyway, most about Undead and Elves. I am not too concerned about Undead overpowering the others I think, their last positional is a weird one and skeletons are brittle.
Several teams have gotten slight boosts in this version, in part to bring costs up a bit. Giving the dwarf blocker back Block will make the team much tougher from start. Chosen become more of a threat. I could talk on and on, but I'll leave it for a bit. Feel free to engage! |

I'm always up for those things! I'm interested in Necromantics! |

Some comments about each roster then:
Zons:
Agility 3+ team with A access. I think this is a good thing to have around. It functions kind of like a slower skaven team, but with A access for better development.
Chaos:
Beastmen are reduced in power (way too cheap in standard game). Sure mass horns is less useful, but still such a good mutation. This team can throw the ball, and can probably stay alive in most fights. I think they look fun to play.
Dark elves:
With no linemen costing 70k this became the slow elf team. Trying to balance the positionals is hard here, as I want to keep total team cost fairly even between rosters, but still make them seem worthwhile to get. I think Disturbing presence is a fun addition to make the WE stand out.
Dwarves:
The linemen are fairly rubbish at start, but are the only 10+ armour ones, and the only linemen with S access. Tackle has moved to the player that wants it. I think this team will be able to compete.
Elves:
This team got shot down by some comments for being too bad in the first draft, and catchers were changed. I think that Dauntless Ma8 Ag2+ is a terror, but no one has tried them yet. The blitzer is a wrestler type player now. Giving the thrower Running pass makes random pass skills more likely, since it can’t get much worse!
Hobgoblins:
I was kind of pleased with the roster as it was. It was a bit on the cheap side, the addition of Horns really adds a lot to the usefullness of the centaur. Does the team maybe have too many useful skills at start? Mass DP doesn’t help that much...
Humans:
Almost a standard roster. Pro is a nice flair thing, adding some power and even more rerolling.
Necromantic:
I wanted regenerate for ghouls, but then they had to drop Dodge. I think this can be a strong team, but maybe hard to start.
Norse:
The only team that can field blanket Block. This is incredibly powerful, so they lost some move. Their linemen never need any skills. The ST4 piece is great right away, but fragile.
Orcs:
The only team that has 4 players above St3, and with great armour. Even with a decrease in fighting strength they should be tougher than most. Giving the goblin fumblerooskie seems a laugh. He is already close to the ground, and he can put the ball down before fouling. Wanted a third skill to drive up cost.
Skaven:
Giving them a meaner streak, but they lose on agility. Prehensile tail sets them apart from others. On the ball thrower seems very good to me.
Undead:
Some concern about them becoming overpowered in the early game. 4 Block players that can pick S to back up the mummies. In the hands of a skilled coach this looks daunting. Skeletons and Wraiths arent very scary though. Comments have said Wraiths are useless. I was looking at giving them G access, and maybe giving Wights Ma5, but in the end this doesn’t feel right. The Wraith is almost not really there, titchy reflects that well, and maybe increases value as a ball carrier. |

I’ve had some feedback in other places.
From the above I think the following has to change:
Zons end of season bonus: Give Dodge to the player with the most games that does not already have Dodge.
Hobgoblins: drop the suggested Horns. Starting team gets a bit too good probably. Alternative: Centaur drops TS and gains BT instead (+5k).
Undead: Wraith PA stays at 5+.
Apart from this the team structure above looks promising. |
