Hey folks, super excited for the main event tomorrow. Quick question - are you guys keeping the Rifle Company ban in place in the spirit of fairness/consistency throughout the tournament, or is it a question of balance?
Yep.
fairness/consistency throughout the tournament,
The organisers don't want to see a massive Rifle Company pick-rate and tons of 5-man free-vet flamer squads denying cover and buildings (and thus even influencing the map vetoes) in every single round. Granted 'the Riffles' have now been nerfed, but they were not, when we started the tourney.
We can only hope that the Devs stop bought-Vet 'P2W' commanders,as they seem to have done with the Brits, and concentrate on producing fair USF Commanders which are viable, all the way through.
