First Legend
SO I got my first legend and I have to say I am far less than thrilled. TO me it is a player that just adds bloat and has become a liability to the team. Meet Gram, my very first legend. Yeah, ag4 is great but the rest of the skills are just sort of meh. Since she has become a legend winning with the team has become nearly impossible. She is far better than the rest of the team and I think we would be better off putting her on the coaching staff to groom a new runner. I keep losing skilled linos and this just makes the disparity even worse I am afraid. I have thought about adding a second runner to the roster but that will just blow our TV up to astronomical numbers in the box. Overall she is a freaking MVP hog;11 in 50 games.

If this were ranked I would not consider retiring her, but in the box the match-ups are never favorable! :-P

Thoughts anyone?

"1st legend" moan-blog. Now there's a first :)

grats on the Legend.
I just got my 3rd recently

No 'finally' so I'm ok with this Legend blog. I wonder why you went down the route you did with him. After he rolled +AG, you lost confidence and started sticking on utility skills.

Seems to me that he was crying out for tackle, strip ball. It looks like you've tried to scrimp and save on TV and have in reality done the opposite; made a legend severe bloat.

My tuppance anyway.

Posted by NerdBird on 2015-12-18 06:16:45
I went the route I did because I need tackle, what, once in every 20 box games? I am happy with the kick skill because I have never really liked putting it on a Blocker. I was constantly hoping for a double to blodge up but that never happened.....

I have never really cared about having a legend. I don't protect players well enough to come into legend status....I throw them to the wolves usually.

I will say that I usually pick skills as I see them fit for the team/player at the time without much thought to the long-term build plan. This is an instance where it bit me in the ass! :-)

Enjoy the legend! Keep till injury. Make a bio for him..
Posted by okostomi on 2015-12-18 10:01:35
I'd suggest start winning games with him. Dwarves need a quick agile player. You have that, so use him to score a lot :)
Posted by Chainsaw on 2015-12-18 11:09:49
He's alright, but you should have given him accurate.

Accurate human throwers change the game. Run deep then use the pace of the catchers to move bash teams around, or avoid cages with elves. If you can get a +AG on a catcher, then you've got a really fun build.

Seems like a perfectly fine dorf legend (apart from him being a dorf that is). I'd very much dislike facing him with his ag4, KoR, Fend and even Kick with quite some teams.

Getting +AG catchers on a Dwarf team isn't so easy though....

Chainsaw it's hard to get a human catcher on a dorf team... At least until glt opens to box teams
Posted by ArrestedDevelopment on 2015-12-18 15:42:30
I think you should probably re-evaluate how you're looking at skills, match-ups, players and teams if you're looking to continue to get enjoyment out of this game. To say you never get favourable match-ups is completely irrational.
Posted by easilyamused on 2015-12-18 17:01:17
Looks like a pretty good runner legend to me.

Got +ag for easier pick ups? Check

Block for protection? Check

KOR to get to the ball quicker on receiving? Check

Leader for cheap RR? Check

Kick is good on a runner so it's not wasted on a blocker and fend is the best of the bunch for whats left.

For the TV you sit at you should have a pretty good chance to win most matches. Dwarf blockers are good straight out of the box. If anything those 2 skilled blockers are your bloat, not the runner.
Posted by licker on 2015-12-18 17:18:07
She's underwhelming because of no dodge I guess, but yeah, dwarf runners are kind of blah if all they get is normal skills.

Though... you did get +AG, so really she's a perfectly fine player. I can see the desire to wind up playing at a lower TV though, especially in B, but I wouldn't fire her. To me the issue isn't the player, it's more likely just dwarfs at mid+ TV in box is a hard team to play.
Posted by Cavetroll on 2015-12-18 21:55:29
Fear not, the runner will die soon enough and then you'll realize how nice it was having an AG 4 dorf.
Posted by fidius on 2015-12-19 00:37:57
I agree with the consensus. Dwarf Runner with AG4? Great player! The end.
