We're both thinking of kinds of defense that will not be seen in a considerably effective way before Week 6 because the supply of robots capable of it do not exist at most events and because of that, the demand is also absent.

Defense is going to get really fun Week 6 and later; aka by the time most teams have squished the bugs in their shooters
