20 seconds to get near certain 10 points and 25% to a breach is a good trade-off over a solo missed HG shot or a failed LG push...its not like those plays are anywhere near 100% certainty and each single play could waste more than 20 seconds of coordinated play also those boulder plays vary greatly between bots on an alliance...pretty much any bot can drive forward. Breach should be alliance #1 goal in quals..its all about +1 or +2 RP in quals added to wins to rank higher. Then breach and boulders to a capture of the castle in elims.
