Will there be a 4 spider max rule in TWLB?

[Da1andonly]

So many rumours, no answers. I'd like to hear what the final input is.

[PaulOakenfold]

I was talking to Luck the other day and he said there will not be because of the popularity of the idea that a 4:1 lineup can beat a 5 spider lineup.

[JeBu]

well i think that wasn't only reason why ppl wanted limit. it would be nice to see more ships used in matches.

[demonfaze]

Well then it shouldn't stop teams from using more ships in matches if they believe their wb or jav can beat a 5 spider lineup, which the popularity says supposedly.

[Adman]

true, but the last few bds i've played have been against 5 spiders... and it's hard for a shark

[Cylor]

Aww, let's change it for Adman. He's cool.

[Zerzera]

Hm, I still support the 4-spider max. But I agree that you can win with a 4-1 against a 5-0 too.
I think every squad now has a javelin or a warbird on the roster, but still might be scared to use it in TWL-B.

[wadi]

Even though my squad sorta gets the shaft on the 4 spid rule, I'd like to see it in place.

[Cig Smoke]

Ya, i was a figter for the rule to be removed b4 but lately i more and more realized that in a BD vs 5 spiders and uhave a jav/wb its really noticable. I mean unless u have 4 absolutly great spiders its hard to counter the 5 spiders in base. IF u got base and ur basebird/jav kill the terr alot in lower then yes its a better lineup, b ut u gotta clear the flagroom 1st which i see the problem occuring. I think u'll find agin this season alot more 5 spid v 5 spid for the simple fact u cant risk it. Especialy if there is no ship changes? Add 1-2 ship changes and maybe some squads will venture like Pallies and squasd with top javs/wb but i dont see it happening.

Well if there is no 4-spider limit there really should be 1 shipchange allowed. Taking a jav or wb vs a 5 spider lineup is always a risk, a risk that squads 'should' be encouraged to take. I know personally that i could sell the idea of using a jav/wb to the more risk-averse members of my squad a lot easier if a change is permitted. (Yes i know this has all been discussed before etc)

What about unlimited shipchanges

[ajaxee]

Im a total league newbie, but i realy realy like the idea of a 4 spider max.The game just seems like it lacks "depth" to me with straight forward 5 on 5 spider battles.

Why do we even have polls?
EDIT: poll results

4 spid limit 116
no limits 98


now, you might say thats not a large difference, but the difference in Point race was 3 (115-112) and nobody seems to be doing that.


Don't put up polls if you're not gonna follow through.

[PaulOakenfold]

We have them so that more people can vote FOR the 4 spider max and then it becomes overruled... DUH. Ajaxee stop switching squads you homoerectus phalius.

Nobody said that the result of the polls would DIRECTLY influence staff decisions. Before you hit the vote button you should have read that they were just getting a feel for what the public wanted and that they were not going to base their decision entirely on the poll.
