I would hate to see what should be a great event, get ruined by a rule change that makes Breakaway unbalanced and less exciting.

I completely agree with you about fixing something that isn't broken. However it is nice after 6 weeks of the same game and going into your fourth event of the season to have an added challenge. Some teams used it to their advantage, others ignored it and focused elsewhere, but I think it is the game changes that make it exciting. Only playing 2v2 in events such as Mayhem in Merrimack and River Rage 2009, the dots for Battlecry in 2008-2009, all empty cells can be picked up by one robot in final 20 secs, 4 super cells automatically activated each offer a new twist on the game. Do I think adding these to official season would be a good idea, no. But they make these off-season events fun no matter how many good teams are there (BattleCry had tons of good teams in attendance).
Just my thoughts
