I never said it was underpowered, it was impossible to tell where it was since we hadn't seen the full effects of the blocking cost changes at vet. In rookie it was obvious passing was the stronger metagame. That's all I said

The blocking changes affect pass blocking as well as run blocking.

If anything it's better for run blocking because lower levels of blocking is actually cheaper and easier to get on many positions.

Wasn't it proven it was only cheaper till like 25?

Eh I still think the only reason passing was so strong at rookie is because everyone was building their defense to stop the run, and running teams could still put up points despite that.

That is definitely not it.

But did they affect either metagame more? Did they balance things? Maybe, but nerfing one before we knew how the changes played out is silly

Not really, they become more expensive by like 25, which rookie teams reach easily 6 games in

Really? Because besides our Corners and the S*s on our defense no one really touched pass defense and we still gave up 10-20 points per game to those teams. This season we're finally touching pass defense so you'll get to run over us to the tune of 30+. Enjoy

Ashland didn't put a single point in run defense.

Don't even act like Ashland played a large number of rush teams. Omaha put up 30 on them and Mannheim 10. Mannheim is good, but they don't boost and despite their record that hurts them.

Then their passing offense just bowled everyone over because the majority of focus is on run defense

No, not really.

If you think that had anything to do with the builds you are just being completely naive.

If you think it didn't then you are just whiney about Omaha getting nerfed (even though they didn't)

uh, I know it didn't.

Outside power running will still be powerful, just like the last perceived nerf, just like the one before that, and the one before that. Our team is going to keep the majority defensive build of the focus on that. It still won't help, but it'll keep us in games.

Guys lets focus, we are trying to get Zone defenses fixed/buffed.
