lol i'm gonna have to try this some time. df is such a boss skill
for me, the beauty of lld is that every class can be viable and that there is more parity amongst each player.
anyway, it's your tournament tho so do your thing! i appreciate your efforts to bring activity regardless of my opinion. it's more that i don't like hybrids always being brought up as a solution to balance things.
lower res would only serve to make sins stronger vs chars that aren't already stacked to the gills. they seem to be in a good spot already tho so i dunno if this is necessary. unless there is another element at play that i am unaware of?
it is tough to weigh the pros/cons of amp/bo because they are both just crazy op in a lot of settings.
you're already aware that the real balance problem is that druids are underwhelming and require an incredibly skilled pilot to be effective vs sin or barb comps. everything else seemed to be in a good enough spot as it is. although, we haven't yet gotten to seen what barbs can truly do since they were shamed in your first tourny lol. i do believe a barb team still took 3rd behind 2x sin/nec teams anyway.
i think the better approach would be to look for a way to buff druids alone instead of opening the gates to everything. possibly look into sin/nec comps but it's hard to conclude how strong anything really is in this format after only 1 tournament. everyone can agree that druids are in a bad spot tho.
This 100%, i almost want to join just to show how strong barbs are but i simply cannot support an event like this same as you because i find it boring and want everything to be allowed or atleast for the other top tier chars to be allowed if barb is allowed. so i would settle for just showing him in a test 2v2 how strong barb is. no offense to anyone who joined t he event on barb, like yeet is the #1 geared barb apart form maybe matts barb when he has swords on, but honey has not been playing barb very long and its one of the hardest to pilot chars imo.
if done right i agree 100% with you that barb/sin should sweep any other team comp in this event which is why i suggested simply allowing more team comps, in the end it is his fg tho and he can do what he sees fit doing and he is still bringing more traffic to lld which is a positive thing.
i will just say though that i strongly warn against using hybrids in any way to try and balance things as this could create problems in actual lld 4v4 games at night with ppl thinking shit like "oh cloudmd's tourney allows blablabla to use eop so its gm here" etc type shit.
