I just skilled my Chaos Minotaur and there is no option to take Piling On? Has Piling On been removed from Stunty too? Teams that have it already get to keep it and newer teams can't take it creating an uneven playing field.

the new rules 'Blood Bowl 2016 edition' removed Piling On, the new rule book states that it can be kept as an optional rule if you wish however the skill is now changed so that you have to use a team RR if you want to Pile On.

Any grandfathered teams out side of the main divisions keep the skill but to use it they should have to use a RR. It is not possible to select the skill any more though, so it will die out soon enough.

I think this is a site change carrying over, rather than a deliberate thing

it is deliberate i think. Only ranked and blackbox got all Piling On changed to Juggernaut. The same change occurred in league and stunty. Its up to the league admin to decide how to implement the new Pile On, or rather whether to remove it from selection or not.

Too bad, Stunty Leeg was the one place I would have liked to see Piling On stay.

Piling On was OP, and more so vs squishy Stunty players with low AV.
It's good that it has been removed.

That is an opinion. Just like mine was. One was obviously an opinion, one was misstated as a fact Wink FWIW, I agree that it felt OP in every league but Stunty Leeg.

An opinion backed up by rule change and player removal %.

I cant see any Pile on there? the players skills were changed to juggernaut, is it still giving you the pile on option in the client?

after the game it seems to have changed to juggs, but if you watch the replay, he uses pile on.

That was a team that had been sitting in transfer division and was transferred to R after the PO->juggs change script had been run.

Obviously the admins have caught up to it.

It's a little sad that some ogre teams were ruined by the PO to Jugs changeover, instead of letting them play out the rest of their careers Crying or Very sad
