Not playing CPOMB isn't picking. If you like Chaos and want to play ranked, simply don't take it, then you shouldn't have the problem.
This is the GOOD part about Rank's fickleness. Players that know what they're doing (should do a bit at high TV) won't play vs BS. |

Hey guys,
I meant this as a "see how well the box is doing",
not "what's the differences between Ranked and Box".
My bad, I guess.
Might we discuss the positives about blackbox instead? |

How can we get more coaches from the Americas? |

A "fair" match for Halflings and Goblins isn't against equal TV, it's against +100 to +150 TV. Missing out on the bribes and the chef (and the useful cheap stars) that turn up so often in League and Tournament play is a big loss. |
I don't know... Sometimes it's more complicated than that. I'd rather give 100 or 150 k inducements with my Flings when my opponent is in the TV range (which varies with each roster) where that 200-300 TV (from -100 to +100) means 200 or 300 TV of Tackle, MB and PO.
If you have 1250 TV Flings, would you rather play against 1110 TV Orcs or against 1400 TV Orcs?
EDIT - However, it's quite true at very low TV. I might add that any TV < 1000 should be considered as equal to 1000, both in Ranked and Box. |

I don't get why ppl want to 'address bash' in the box. My Blackbox skavens have about 600 games under their belt, and they were fine at all times in CRP. It was a bit harder with LRB5 but still perfectly doable. |

This sounds to be a great idea. |

I agree. And, as a bonus, it fixes the problem of how it can be hard for low TV teams to find a match, especially if something goes horribly wrong and you end up with only 700-800 TV. |

A lot of good things has come from addressing various issues - predominantly bash - in the box. I see Christer starting this thread as 110% positive, and much good (and admittedly the very questionable) has come from this.
Box is a lot better than it was a only year ago, and this is partially because we as a community keep trying to improve it imo.
For example my humans have now played 60 games in a row at over 2000k TW. |

That was basically my question as well.
But building 850k Chorfs and poaching rookies with a wizard for example. |

A more realistic worry is an 850 tv goblin team aiming for 3 bribes, but that's more of a goblin balance problem. |
