Team UPDATE - 2013-02-22

[Kevin Sevcik]

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the lack of outrage at this game change, since it helps teams score more frisbess more easily. Despite the fact that many of the arguments against the HP change apply here. Namely, teams knew or should have know about the bounce problem, and several teams did account for this in their designs and tuning. So now the teams that were clever enough to not hurl point blank shots at warp speed have lost the advantage that their cleverness should have given them.

Yes, it's not as sweeping a change as the HP ruling, but I'm getting the vibe that any change the GDC makes to make shooting easier is going to be hailed as an great improvement to the game. As opposed to the late season game change that it actually is.
