Re: My case against <G14>

So let's take this scenario a bit further, and say that every other match you have half your supercells due to the fact that you keep outscoring your opposition 2:1. If you're constantly in this situation, you obviously have a good game plan, and depending on who you're allied with you will still do very well when you're down a couple of super cells. That's where your actual robot design will be critical: it means that if you're reliant on a strategy and your human player too much, you will have to be more reliant on your robot the next match. There it is, from a pure strategy perspective.

In the elims, if you score 2:1 in match 1, then as a result they beat you in match 2, you will probably still outscore them in match 3 if super cells were the difference maker.

I personally think it's just a nuisance rule, nothing more.
