Re: Value of defense

It is weird that you can't hard commit to defense in this game and score at the same time. I would have liked to see breaching not just be such a one sided thing. I'm no expert nor should I be telling the GDC its bidnizz but an obvious addition to the game is when a robot runs over one of its own damaged defenses it could repair it. This would mean robots actually have more then one zone to play defense from. Anyway that is just wishful thinking. Defense this year puts you in a position where you can't really boost points you just need to hard stop the other side from scoring. Stalling a team just isn't enough with the hit point system, and the boulders constantly being forced onto the field. Scoring is a self perpetuating cycle that without defense can easily snowball out of control.
