this is why I voted for no gear changes at all, 1 leads to another leads to another and so on....
IMO you make your choice and you live with it through that set and if neccesary you change for the next set.
Its a stradegy not a guessing game. If you allow 2 changes the same thing is going to happen the second time around as the first you are going to change to what works best vs what your opponent just changed to then he he going to change to counter ... where does it end?

My vote is no

Great duels as always Bren

I recently requsted a 2nd gear per set because I hate getting cought in a bad matchup my last set vs bren i was up by 1 most of the duel and would have loved to gear into cc to try to take the set I had already geared and was stuck.

I realize that some who only use 1 buld dont see the big deal but melee needs to be more than click and hold and at the upper levels its all about knowing your aponent and gearing acordingly.

Well if one person changes gears you can't also change at the same time when you see what he changed into. So you need to use strategy when using your sets. But I see where you're coming from just dont agree with it since it seems to restrictive and takes any strategy out of the equation.

Steve, no offense, but no gear changes at all is purely rediculous, would totally ruin melee in my opinion and would have me lose all interest in this ladder. Melee is about diversity and being at your best 100% of the time. If I couldn't gear at all, I would totally have to see what my opponent is going to use first so I know what to use and screw them over every duel knowing they can't change. There's no honor in that...

I have to agree here

well I only have 1 vote out of 5 on this ladder you guys are welcome to over rule me, But that is my Opinion

I realize a lot of people here don't gear much, or try to get to know and understand their opponents as well as I do. Melee isn't just click-and-hold; when you advance to the next level of awareness in melee, you start to better understand your opponents and find what's best to use against them. I don't want nor mean to brag, but this is why I'm #1 a lot on this ladder.

I guarantee you'll see me change gear almost every set, especially if my opponent gears first. True strategy is knowing when to gear and when not to gear. And Brad, there is no rule stating you can't counter-gear an opponent, as long as it falls within the # of gear rules... That is true strategy right there and I've used it many times.

Ah i've always thought you couldn't right away since that would be kind of unfair so I never did in tournies or bets lol and I know no1 did in tge tournies since I reffed them xD. And yes I always geared in all of my matches too as has anyone who knows how to counter sets has. Not like there is one dominate setup vs all others so you would never win vs an old meleer with one setup.

Im going to have a lot of fun with you guys if we ever get a reset
My Zealot Is perfectly stated for the setup I use most and there isnt much I change
Its pretty much my tap setup or my non tap with just a couple of minor tweaks
And dont be fooled by my recent join date on JSP I have been Meleeing since this game came out and I have tried many multiple setup Builds.
I find that If you pick a setup and tweak just for it you're much better off in the end
