Re: Was Aerial Assist Better than Ultimate Ascent?

Poor quality of matches at the beginning of the season is not exclusive to Aerial Assist. It's been pretty much universal. Remember all the 0-0 ties in 2007 and 2010? Or the matches that were reduced to 0-0 ties after penalties in 2005 and 2008? Even in the much praised, offensive games in 2012 and 2013, the scores were significantly lower earlier in the season. There was a regional finals match in week 1 last year where the losing alliance scored only 16 points. You could win multiple regionals early last year without breaking 100 points.

Schedule strength has also been a critical factor in other games. Go look at the OPR predictions that were created once the schedule was released. OPR doesn't factor in team cohesion or the nature of the game, but raw numbers alone show how much of a driving factor your match schedule is.
