Tournament cherry - popped
So, after seeing a call for an EXP smack, and prodding from lolvenom, I decided to give it a try. And honestly, right now - I don't know what to think right now.
First message I get is from someone telling me that it's a pretty rough draw of coaches for someone entering their first SMACK (if you really want, you can go look at who all was in it yourself). I don't think of myself as a *BAD* coach, but I'm hardly a great coach, and looking at who's in and seeing I could be up against CircularLogic, Texan, or PurpleChest is a bit intimidating as a sub-150 CR coach.
Naturally, I pull PurpleChest's CDs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but CDs vs Norse is not exactly an ideal matchup.
And I got soundly trounced. I got thoroughly reminded of why I am not one of those coaches people talk about when they speak of good coaches - my Norse ended up battered and smeared across the pitch, but it didn't feel like there was anything I could do. I pushed it to overtime off of the most janky play ever, but... yeah. I kinda wish I hadn't so my Norse hadn't gotten so beaten up.
At this point, though, I don't know. Did I get outplayed? Probably - if nothing else, there were a few turnovers I made where it was just "OH RIGHT THERE IS A TACKLE ZONE THERE WTF AM I DOING" dumb mistakes that I really shouldn't be making. But at the same time, I dunno what else to do - Norse definitely can't step toe-to-toe with CDs, so I just tried to stay back and hope for an opening (which I got once or twice, though never used it very well).
I don't know how I feel about SMACKs. I like the idea, but if I'm going to have to worry about getting smashed in that hard? They might not be for me. Different strokes for different folks, and all that.
