Re: Reality of low-bar shooters

It is obvious that breaching is easier than capturing. Because of this, at low levels of play teams choose to forget about boulder and capturing points and focus on breaching because it is a sure ranking point. During our 17 matches at San Diego we captured 4 times (3 times during elims) and breached 16. At the San Diego event there was a total of 6 captures. By week 3 I think most regional's will have three times that many.
I don't think teams failed. I think they focused on getting easy points first and harder points second. This is why we will see a tremendous increase in captures as teams have more time to figure out vision tracking and dial in their shooters.
