The only reason (I have observed) that cross-court shooters have been negated is that alliances have not drafted/strategized to ensure their cross-court shooter is unaffected by the opposing alliance's defense.
In other words, alliance a
cross-court shooter, a
ground pickup bot, and an
offensive lineman to protect the cc shooter and we'll see if the cc shooter has been negated.
That's like saying a pocket passing QB has been negated because he can't avoid the rush without his O-line.
The best example
I've seen so far of this was 51 blocking 4779 from deflecting 3604's cc shots. But even that was only in passing to/from attempting their 5pt disc shots.
I really, really, REALLY would like to see a "complete" cross-court shooting alliance assembled to legitimize this strategy's effectivity.
