Re: Is Defense key to this game?

Lil Lave,

You keep talking about upper tier teams doing all these things to make defending them really hard and make their offensive capabilities amazing. I think you're forgetting two important facts:

A. The vast majority of teams at most regionals are not "upper tier teams"
B. The serpentine draft almost guarantees a mix of upper and not teams on an alliance.

Granted this all changes at the Championship, but at most regionals, you're going to have one or maybe two real offensive powerhouses on a given alliance in the elims. In seeding you're just as likely to have just one powerhouse on each alliance. Double-teaming the power houses or defending the weaker bots could still prove an effective strategy. It all depends on the vagaries of the alliance mixes in a given match. 75% of the competition is quals, after all. And 95% is not the Finals at Championship.
