But after a long holiday from BB I've started playing again and return to find the same tedious prevalence of CD in matchmaking.
Not that I mind the common place nature of the team, or it's ethos. Evil Dwarves with mutie access, what isn't there to like? I like the AV 7 hobs. I like the Bull Centaurs. It's a good mix and a fun-sounding team.
My issue is that I like them too much. Whenever I play the team I feel like the Centaurs in particular are Wardancers on 'roids, two of them are pretty much a single-handed defence, especially with Break Tackle. I feel like I'm playing Easy Mode.
Right now I'm playing against a min-maxed CD team with Humans, and I can't do anything except watch the mass of AV9 Claw kill me while the Bull Centaurs can actually out-run me. The other guy's tactic is "punch things, pile on every time (even KOs), repeat." That's all he's doing. I've kept injuries equal with fouling his crazy Level 7 killers and minimising his blocking opportunities, but had 3 send-offs so I'm down guys anyway.
And it's boring. His defence is just to keep his single Bull Centaur back, that's it. I can't dodge because of all the Tackle.
The BC has 4 AG, MA 6 (essentially 9 thanks to Sprint+Sure Feet), 4 STR, Block, AV 9, MB...one monster player I can't do anything at all to stop. Makes Vampires look like pussies. I knocked it over twice when he went for a completely unsupported TD, but he got it anyway with TZ pickups and dodges.
And every CD team you meet seems to have some crazy BC like this, or a full line of MB/Claw/Frenzy killers (this one does, TV 1500). It's because MM lets them just recycle until you get a crazy BS team you'd never expect in a league.
So...what was the logic, in particular, behind BCs? And how the hell do you counter them when they're developed like that? It's...a point of contention, for me
