Absolutely not.
The game is being dominated by those whom understand the game and all of its impact

HPs are scoring, and scoring well, but generally only when a robot is pinned near the HP. The best scorers in NH are fast power dumpers (those that can store a lot of balls and dump them quickly).

The traditional powerhouses are still the powerhouses. They, for the most part, have the understanding of what is required in this game to win.
