100 Box games!
I played my 100th Box game earlier today - appropriately enough it was a draw, just like the first Box game I ever played.
The more I play in the Box, the more it grows on me - and especially, I've always found it to be much more diverse than people usually give it credit for. I think it's a pretty good way to get better at Blood Bowl, too, even if I'm rather slow to learn my lessons most of the time.
Of course, I'm going to get started on my next 100 games straightaway - by the time I get to game 200, I hope to have gotten my win percentage up to at least 50%. Mind you, now that I've said that I'm sure I've doomed myself to fifty straight complete thrashings, but oh well.
See you all in the box!

Great!
I think box diversity really started to improve last year. Some of the more egregious mono activating high tv clawpomb coaches stopped or reduced and things area lot better now.

Great achievement. Nice one!
I have seen so many different teams in the box lately and it is fantastic. I hope the diversity continues :)
ArthurWynne thanks for bringing some more diversity and activity to the box.

I think blackbox has hugely improved since the matching algorithm took team age into account, so now rookie teams are not punished by match ups against min maxers and green mid-TV is not punished by match ups against legend killers. That has allowed/encouraged people to try out more teams.

Agreed Chainsaw.
And well done. Here's to many more.

What harald said and also i think that there are more grind fillers now - making some more rare races bit more common than they "normally" are

Yeah don't believe the haters, Box is good fun. :-)

Agree. Although I think ARR is a huge reason as well. Bad actors have been scarcer lately as well. But that will always go in waves, so we'll see.
