No thanks BB
I think eventually this team is what the Black Box Division will be all about. Coaches who just want to destroy other teams and aren't able to find any sacrificial lambs on gamefinder.

DP Skill = the powergamer's delight

calcium - you are correct, it's just my opinion, sitting on my blog.

Exceptionally bad form linking someone else's team in your blog. If you don't like DP'ing then fine. Everyone has the right to their opinion. Remmember, just because you don't like a team or a playstyle doesn't make them wrong and you right. It just makes you different.

I think that team you linked is very cool. And the nature of [B] means that he's gonna come across teams that are just as likley to beat him half to death also.....the balance is restored.

/me agrees with calcium.

I think you have not enough data to be sure.
Probably not even to guess.

I agree with Mully, but for all different reasons.

The way I see it, some finesse in gaming is required, otherwise you're just another grunt.

This looks a lot like just another grunt.
Apart from that, I don't see anything wrong in that team *in itself*. A mass dp team will always lose to a mass dodge team.
But such tea concepts are quite lame in my opinion... must be because I'm intimately convinced that DP is broken in Lrb4, and using a mass-broken skill doesn't really buy my respect.

I think the same of mass claw-rsc chaos. Nice killing machines, but coaches are just grunts with no style.

Looks like a regular undead team to me.

I see nothing wrong with this team, and would totally play against them in ranked. Hey, it's an easy win for me! What's lame in my opinion is when someone doesn't want to play against a team because it has dirty players. It's not even that good of a skill.

Yup, its a lame team.

But not so common.

Lets just beat it when you meet it, and boo the coach.

Well, considering that he doesnt get lucky and GTR, the opposite team just needs to avoid fouling. At least the chance of going out grows, and only 1/6th chance to keep player on field and not that pesty regenerate.

If the division is "all about" a team with a losing record for you, you may be focusing on the wrong things.

...to good not to be quoted ^^

DP is good if you manage to do GOOD fouls with every damn DP. Keep in mind that the DP skill is USELESS till the player having it actually fouls. Block is different- not only do you block more than you foul but it is useful when being blocked as well. Mass DP needs substitutes for those caught by the ref. Especially easy fouling is done with you having more players on the pitch- which isn't just done by "fouling a lot" alone since your players get caught. On top of it you give the other one the option of fouling as much without an eye on him. Hence one DP used well and having a little luck may very well do the same job those lots can. The normal cas however are more likely to be made by the guy who gave Block to his players instead of Mass-DP.
True is after all: DP makes any team deadly. Not just Khem but Delves as well. I'll give my best to have at least one or two with all my teams- especially my non-basher teams.

Bah, these undead lack skeletons. Just zombie crap. Shudder.

It's a boring and selfish team, no doubt, but the Blackbox division shouldn't be as much about team building as Ranked so I would probably (hopefully) be less pissed off about facing such a team than in Ranked, or even worse, in League.

This is why we need a monthly ko tournament in [L] for North American coaches (+ South American too I guess). But I guess that's just a pipe dream that's never to be.

I pwnd that team with my helfies. Plus that he got Drakenburg then ;) So the amount of DP's doesnt really matter tbh ;p
