Is this what we wanted?
KISS is one thing. Cookier cutter robots is another.

How many basher bots do we really want to see?

I feel like it's last year all over again with a lot of folks wanting, wishing, hoping to make balls matter but except for a broken Beatty in the last game of the Finals, balls would have been totally useless toward winning the match.

I suppose that bins are going to be the balls from last year, except in a few cases they are not going to be the factor that determines the Grand Championship.

If the game is exciting to watch & looks good on TV, I suppose it is a fair trade.

I have not seen the matches first hand, so I will withhold my judgement.

P.S

NH after 49 Matches:
Average Winning Score: 68
Average Losing Score: 24
Average QP: 117

VA after 52 Matches:
Average Winning Score: 76
Average Losing Score: 23
Average QP: 122

Not a whole lot of variation from one regional to another or from the first few matches until now... ...For what it's worth...
