Armok's Garage Rats got stomped
Maybe I should have named them something more intimidating? Either way, tonight was the first time I felt loss in Blood Bowl. I'm sure it's going to get worse and happen over and over again but still, I feel like I will remember this one. I feel like it was more funny than anything so I guess that's good.
Either way, pour one out for Dale Pooper, my av- blitzer and the poor lineman who gave his life just to lose 0-3.

Yeah, that kind of carnage will definitely happen. Worse too, when a highly developed player or two die in the same match.
Unsolicited advice:
* The -AV blitzer should go as soon as you can afford to replace him.
* Bonkers should go immediately. Yes, losing kick sucks, but the -ST with a niggle is unacceptable...
* You urgently need the fourth Gutterrunner. Even more than a blitzer.
* You don't need 2 throwers, certainly not at the expense of a GR. No sense in firing one now, but throwers are barely worth getting.
* You urgently need at least 1 more reroll. But a GR and blitzer first.
* You have too many asst. coaches and cheerleaders, I'd fire 1 each. You're giving another team a skill for 'free'. While I like having 2 each because of the occasional extra reroll, 3 is too many.
* Next time, I'd prioritize +Move over +Armor on a Blitzer. They already have 8 armor, and move 8 on them is more useful. Rats are gonna splat a lot, but movement is how you win the game.
* +Move over armor is probably a good idea on all players. A small case can be made for bumping a valuable AV7 player to AV8, but just about every player gets substantially better the more movement they have. Plus there's no Claw for movement.

Thanks for the tips. I agree with almost everything but I'm nervous about losing my kicker. I know he sucks but that skill has been super helpful so far.
Do you think it'd be better starting a new Skaven team? Part of me thinks so just so I can get the cheap reroll. I'm tempted to continue on just because I like these guys but I am also really missing that 3rd reroll.

I sent a longer PM, but the short form is:
Why not both?
Make a fresh team built with what you've learned, and keep at it with these guys. There's some interesting elements here. Blodging GR, ST4 rat.
The kicker: I think ST2 is a huge liability for rats, since they already have so much of it. You want your liners to tie down opposition, and get as many 2 die blocks as they can. An ST2 AV7 liner will get hit a *lot* and will leave the pitch a lot.
At least your GRs have dodge to protect them some.
You'll skill a fresh kicking linerat soon enough. Or maybe put the skill on the normal thrower.
