Only if 60 ball autons are a dime a dozen will that happen - and when has something like that ever been the case?
I agree with you. People forget that not all DCMPs (...And now... CMPs) are created equal. The only thing that I would put even odds on happening is the death of the gimme gear that sits in the tower by the time late April rolls around. Cycling gears will have some advantages disappear as the season progresses through its naturally evolving meta, limiting any perceived need for FIRST to recalibrate.

It would have been nice to have had the GDC leave the door open on recalibrating the kpa bonus in concert with its required threshold, bit I'm not a cop and can't tell people what to do.
