Will it be so easy to shut down an elite shooter? In other words, can an elite defender easily shut down an elite shooter? I think an elite shooter should have a decent advantage.

Logic: The shooter can shoot from near max height at an upward angle from the outer works. The defender will have to give a little buffer between them and the offensive robot so as to avoid penalties. If the defender isn't tall enough to block the ball, and isn't allowed to hit the shooter, what can they do? An elite shooter should be able to hit >80% of their shots.

If an elite defender can shut down an elite shooter, defense is very valuable. In the higher levels of play, 2 breacher/shooters will easily be able to breach and defeat the tower. The elite breacher/shooters will have little need for a support bot so it might be advantageous to have that third robot play defense in most cases.

Of it's all just speculation at this point. But that's what Chief Delphi is for!
