Re: Terrifying Karthik

I think karthik is terrified because too many teams will be willingly sacrificing too much in order to be low-bar compliant. There might be teams that can only build a box on wheels plus a low-quality intake because of the constraints of the low bar.

Now don't get me wrong - a high quality, well driven box on wheels can do OK as a low first or second pick this year, but if an alliance is limited only to breaching then they shouldn't expect to make it to the semifinals. Likewise, an alliance without a shooter may be locked out of the finals completely, depending on the event.

That is what karthik is scared of - the amount of teams that think that a low-bar-traversing box-on-wheels will be good enough because of the value placed on defenses.
