Discussion on the balance of new squads

Thread splits are fun! So basically we are discussing squad balance here, it all started with this :

QUOTE Drizzo squad looks hilariously OP if he happens to get full turnout.[/quote]

Its not fun when SGs are decided by coinflip of the turnout rather than the skill

Don't be such a sourpuss. We all play the same game, aside from server location, on a level playing field. Anything that I can do, someone else can just as easily do. How about instead of crying about this and that, you invest the time in getting yourself better?

If you look at something and say I can't beat that, then you've lost before you've even started and I have absolutely zero sympathy for you.

From what I understood, the whole idea of re-forming squads is to balance the rosters, instead of having SysX dominating NI (and RT dominating SysX before that).

I am surprised that one of the squad leaders now appears to defend his roster choice by telling everyone else to get better to match up to his selection? (instead of either explaining why he thinks his roster is not OP, or balancing it out with the rest of the squads).

P.S. I am not biased towards any of the squads, as I am not part of any of them. I was just stating my perceived opinion that current squad rosters go against Dome's intention to have balanced squads for re-launch of the SGs.

You can address me directly instead of trying the passive aggressive third person route.

My roster is what it is and we are what we are. I don't have to explain my decisions to anyone except Dome really, plus my point of view and SysX's point of view was made very clear to Dome when this was being organized. If he has a problem with it it's well within his right to veto it, as I've told him it's his show a few times now.

Although do you want to know why I think you're crying over nothing? If an assortment of people who have logged on maybe once or twice in the last 6 months can beat the @#(! out of the active (I bolded it because it's not getting through your dense skulls) community, then frankly I find that laughable. But then we'll probably stop playing when/if we start losing, much like RT did in 2011.

I'd love to hear your rebuttal.

It would be nice if a particular squad leader, named Drizzo, would be less of an @#$%@# concerned with having a stacked roster and being beholden to nobody other than Dome.

How is that, Drizizzle?

Guys, let's keep the drama off this thread. This is being discussed among the SLs.

Ahhh, so only the SLs have a say in these matters now? We plebs should just shut our traps and wait for Drizzo and his peers to come to a conclusion?

I guess what we have to say is worth nothing.

Drizzo doesn't have a stacked roster so can we move the drama to a different subject? I would say drop it but that would violate the law of drama conservation.

No, what I'm saying is that this is a delicate negotiation; the other SLs have the same concern and having more people pile on is not going to get us to a better or faster resolution.

We value balanced squads, but we also value getting inactive players to come back and play this game. We're trying to figure out a solution that gets us the best of both worlds.
