My biggest problem is they shouldn't be premiering a half-baked format. If Compendium is where they actually want Silver Age to be and that is the point where the ban list makes sense, then hold the launch events until Compendium.

He's missing too many tools to be oppressive enough to get voted out immediately.

As someone who both needs a job and has a disability, it is a nightmare trying to navigate this job market. AI applications and fake job postings makes it nearly impossible, despite 25 years of experience and a degree in my field.

...to make the elimination bracket. This would create a more diverse metagame and allow heroes that aren't at the top, but could be disruptive, a chance to make the cut.

People would flip out, but the Raw Deal card game used to have a rule that no wrestler could be repeated in a top X cut unless you didn't have enough unique wrestlers to form a top X cut. I would kill for LSS to do the same thing. If you want to play Cindra, you have to be the best Cindra...

You're absolutely spot on about the game needing active hands on balancing. I think balance gets less attention than it should. That is the foundation of everything else working correctly. Everything else that I think should happen has an underpinning of balance being correctly managed.

Maybe not Starvo, since regular Bravo already exists, but I do kind of feel bad for people who love a character and are just kind of wandering the wilderness. I think the LL system is important, but would having a blank Azalea have really been a problem?

I don't think they should have ever done a point multiplier. If a hero goes as fast as Aurora, so be it. I'd like every hero to have what amounts to a bad evergreen version just so no one has to lose the only hero they actually like. That would eliminate the 7 month LL feelsbad.

I think at this point you let Verdance LL. She's in the time window where LSS is fine with a powerful hero LLing. You could maybe ban Waning Moon to hurt the off-turn Striders potential, but basically anything else would cripple her rather than bring her into a good place.

It's bad. 40 to 0 in one turn shouldn't happen. Same with Starvo.
