Just because it doesn't match the forum's consensus opinion doesn't mean the data isn't valid.

I've always thought that the FTA problem was overstated, so, naturally, the data strikes me as accurate

Hey Sakiehl,

Look at your matches in the World Cup:

3 P1 games, 3 wins
3 P2 games, 1 win (which took 90 turns compared to 33 turns to win as P1 against the same player)

Did you really not feel the extent of FTA when playing the same player simultaneously as P1 and P2?

That's a fair point, I'm not sure why I was in a contrary mood this afternoon.

Mostly, FTA just hasn't struck me as a big deal. 60% isn't a negligible amount and I'm excited to see what they come up with to counteract it.

I am also curious to see how the numbers have changed in more recent weeks. My impression is that people have gotten better at early, smarter rushes (not the all out rushes right away).
