This is the problem with banning any piece-once one gets banned, everyone begins to point to the next one that "should" be banned! I couldn't be more against banning ANY figure including GOWK. Bunch of whiners....
I kinda have to agree. I'm against the ban because then people will be begging for someone else to be banned. You can make it a house rule to "ban" him, but I don't think it should be a set thing for GOWK to be banned...
I have been against the Ban the whole time. I have no problem playing with the figures that are available.
But the main arguement that gets thrown at me when I say there is still enough stuff to counter GOWK that he doesn't need to be banned, is that its shrinks the meta too much that it is isn't fun. Which is a reasonable point. It doesn't make someone a whiner when they are expressing opinions on what the makes the game more open at a high end of competitive play.
stang, I don't even care about Boba, BH. In a 200 point torunament game mara took a Big D, before any other damage was dealt. I took it and kept playing. I killed boba for exposing himself enough to get the shot. I then had verride split up my squad and almost cause me to lose again. Didn't bitch, just kept playing and barely pulled out a win. I didn't play a BG, and I didn't play override. I let my uggies get killed. Trust me, whining about SWM is not something I care for. I play the game and I enjoy it. The last commentsmay or may not have been directed at me, but after facing the cold reality that GOWK will very likely be the first ban for SWM, i just felt like sharing an opinion.
I imagine many players after seeing/hearing of a Ban happening for the first time will cause a bunch of cries. Its bound to happen.
Despite playing tempo control and winning many games largely due to tempo control, I am just willing to admit it may be worse for the game than GOWK.
The only things I really think can even be considered is Boba BH, tempo control pices, GOWK and I understand the request to Ban R2 before Gambit, Lobot, t3 and uggies existed.
The funniest thing about Boba BH is that is to some extent needed because alot of factions don't have a decent mobile accurate shooters but most of the pieces that provide the most synergy with Boba BH have been in factions with great mobile accurate shooters. Han Rebel Hero and Bothan Nobles being the best examples.
Meh, off subject by now. I guess deep down I just don;t want to be clumped with all the people who complain needlessly. I feel like the game has enough in it, that I still love the game without any Bans. But when 4 factions are largly seen as non-competitive and large amount of that could be a fixed with a single Ban, it may be for the best.
eh, wierd night...I should stop rambling.
