None of the hybrids affect melee much at all so it is somewhat irrelevant

I think it makes most sense to ban hacked items by default.

If it can't truly spawn I'm fine with banning it

It should probably be voted on

I think someone copy/pasted those rules from the ladder heng was running. The rules that I wrote for the original ladder and tourney (over 10 years ago), which were adopted/changed by palapk nation, banned all hacked items. There weren't any hacked items 5 years ago when this ladder was started, and that rule was probably just omitted for that reason.

This is true as of now, but you never know what l-e-w-t hasn't released yet.

Was just curious. FoS only adds like 72 defense anyway, so it's not a huge deal.


Generated some discussion at least!

Loot stopped making hybrids. They only sell their overstock (from the "Catdupe" days) on non ladder and have no new stock on ladder.


LoL, Because Grief of Doom isnt on the banned list.

I use fort of stone full tilt on my Conc.
Been using it since they appeared, puts my defense in a really weird and hard to hit number.
