Not really, but there are some hopes. I like to play gnomes, but they are crazy hard.

First you need to foul a lot.

Second you need to break armors.

Third you need to score and survive the mayhem.


There is a thing that puzzle me a lot with them, and that could explain their poor results.

They are part of the Hlfling Thimble Cuo but cannot hire the chief for 100k.

Why?

To be able to steal rerolls would beneft them greatly!

Please change this injustice GW.

PS: Please gave them some secret weapons or guns.

One match in and so far I've found two things about Gnomes:

1. Their Foxes are absolutely their saving grace for speed/ball thievery

and

2. Stunty without Dodge is completely crazy. Your team will break...likely every time and even if you manage to win.

Halflings are better.

I wish they put Gnomes in the Elven Kingdoms bracket, would have opened up some interesting differences with stars. With them being in Halfling Thimble Cup just seem a bit samey

Agree.

Because they can seal rerolls, and have dodge.

The fox is good to score, but he cannot be thrown or gave the ball to someone.

The fox is not even able to learn fumblerooskie...the only time this skill would have been useful ever.

Most of the times I have played against gnomes I have taken colossal slaps.

Then I am also a masochist that I do cherry pick in reverse va beh

In BBT11, Gnomes have a win rate of 41%, compared to Halflings and Goblins, who are both on 35%.

That's interesting to know! Just imagine if they had the chief to 100k. They could be close to 50%!

Goblins need Swoop to be back as before, but that's another topic.

I've pretty well resigned to the fact that if I'm using the fox to handle the ball, then I'm committed to either his TD or his inevitable clobbering/failed GFI/failed blitz etc.

The issue I have comes from their ability to skill. Only Agility and it's not even on a NORMAL SPP track. So either roll randomly at 6 SPP and up, get more if you want to pick said stats, or commit to the max SPP levels for a bunch of stats for them cuz that's the only way they get better.

Never seen a player like that before, it kinda broke my brain the first time I came across it.
