  1. This is the third professional WMH team in the last year? Can't say I'm really sure what they plan on doing. Like the players are good but I doubt they will do anything with this.

    I don't think either list is controversial. Man they love martin.

  2. I guess Team Asgard is no longer a thing? For the big names attached to it I was kinda surprised at the quality of that website and their use of that classic sci-if quote.

    I really wish they broken things down into tiers. Would have been far more useful imo.

  3. The whole thing seems like the kind of conversation you have with your friends. But don't think much about

  4. I really wish there was data available.

    I'm also curious about list diversity. I think there are more relevant factions now, but my impression is that list diversity in each faction has decreased as the arms race has continued.

  5. I don't mind the list. It's meh - they are all A tier except for Severius 1.....seriously wtf is he doing on that list.

    My frustration when I read that is that half those casters are the 'un-fun' ones to play against. I don't mind goatvannah, butcher 3 or even gaspy2. My problem is with all the skews on there that make this Rock Paper Scissors.

    Also I understand that denial stuff from the haley's both blue and cryx is annoying but at least eHaley and even body and soul are dynamic and I can understand why people would want to play them. When I see pHaley double colossal or eLylth etc they are boring and you win or lose based on the list you brought and not how well you play the game. That is the problem. Tier lists are often the forerunners of this category which is why I think they are taking heat right now.

    There is something to be said for Comp score or force org or something. Not that it's not fun to play against your all grey knight multi wound terminator list, or all vehicle IG list - oh wait it wasn't and that's whybwe play Warmachine now in the first place.
