Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

[Jimmy Cao]

Dumpers really had their way at Cass Tech this last weekend. 67 was clearly the best, with an extremely fast dumper (at least, I'll call it a dumper. It didn't shoot, hence it dumped =P).

However, 217 stood out as the best shooter. With their adjustable shooter and good camera aim, they often managed to load and score 2 supercells in the last 20 seconds of their matches.

As the season progresses, I still predict that power dumpers will do extremely well. Even as drivers get better at avoiding dumpers, dumpers get better at getting to goals. However, at the championship level, dumpers may find it more difficult to get "easy" targets, and will need to spend more time chasing someone around to get a pin in order to score.

Just my $.02
