Right.
Let me make something clear here. We've ALL known from Day 1 that noodles would be thrown, not just stuffed into recycling containers. We've ALL known the characteristics of the noodles, and had the opportunity to run over/through/around them. We've ALL had the chance to develop an HP into an ace noodle thrower.
And we've all had the opportunity to understand all this, particularly after Week 0 events. And the same opportunity to respond to the game!
Now what I'm seeing/hearing/reading (after Week 1) is:
"We don't like the game we've been given. We really hate this aspect that we've known about since Day 1 and haven't complained about yet. The GDC should do something to discourage this aspect or change it so that it isn't used."
Do you guys realize what you sound like? You don't sound like professionals, folks. You sound like... well, let's just say that I wouldn't expect that kind of reaction out of adults (or even most high schoolers!).
Do I particularly like the litter element? Not really. It just kind of... I don't know, just doesn't quite seem to fit in. Am I going to ask for it to be changed? NO!!!! Why should Week 1 teams have to play a different game than Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, and Week 6 teams? Or, to put it another way: Why should later weeks "get to" play a "better" game than Week 1 teams? Can you answer me that?
If you don't like the litter element, you can do your best to convince your partners not to play it--your opponents too, for that matter. I saw several matches at IE where one side or the other didn't send anything over the wall, a couple where neither side launched a single piece. Same for Coopertition, at that--talk to your opponent and let them know you won't be going for it. (Or don't talk to them, and don't respond if they put a couple up for you.)
