Better at what? Exploiting a weakness in the game's set of rules that allows for gaining an almost
un-surmountable advantage,
ruining the competitiveness, and
makes fans bored too!
As I have already posted, my team seriously considered this scheme early on, but they were afraid it would not be allowed. After a vote it was clear that we were too timid to risk going with this scheme - despite the obvious advantage it would offer. By the time we saw the rule clarification indicating it would be legal, were were too far along to go back to it., not to mention that many team members felt it was close to being a violation of the "spirit of the game" (their view, not mine).
Allowing expansion at opponents tower is still the best fix for this game exploit.
