He does take over 7 blocks a game...
He's also been surfed twice in his last three games.
Meh, I'm gonna take sidestep. |

See? Majority said MB, you took SS. Why even make a damn post? And you never even mention that surfing thing before...
Strong arm was THE pick |

Because I'm interested what other people would do. Poll says it's basically 50-50, which is pretty much where I was at. What makes games like bloodbowl fun are interesting decisions, where there are good reasons to go either way, like in this case. Neither choice is wrong, it's a matter of what kind of player he's going to be. In this case, clearly I was leaning ballcarrier, and decided to go sidestep. If someone posts a totally compelling argument, well then I'm sure our admins will grant me a misclick.
Even if not, I'm satisfied with sidestep. I'm still interested in what other people would do. Even if it is something really hard to justify like say... juggernaut. That's sort of the point of a, well you know... strategy forum on a bloodbowl website. |

Well at least side step is clearly a better choice then mighty blow. |

Kick. You've had at least two other threads about the same already. |

Gee, somehow you did not state that you wanted a ball carrier. So, why is Surehands not in the poll? |

Yeah 50/50 between MB and kick...
That should tell you something.
Anyway, while SS isn't a bad skill obviously, taking it because he gets blocked a lot is a really dumb reason.
If you're worried about him getting blocked a lot you take either stand firm or fend.
Since you wanted a ball carrier, for completely unknown reasons, you would take sure hands, but I know you don't think that skill is that useful.
Oh well, you had a chance for an even more legendary player and you passed it up. |

Well he's my leaper, and ends up in cages and on sidelines quite a bit honestly. Obviously giving him mighty blow will make him an incredible SPP generator, but maybe leave the attrition blitzes to the other options?
Now I'm second guessing myself. |

Meh. This convinced me. Tks to admin for skill change.
Now he'll die getting pushed out of bounds for sure OFC. |
