But the more I think about it, I have a hard time coming up with strong arguments against it. The increased complexity is a good thing in my opinion. Simple rules which results in complex behavior is what makes strategy games fun. The more moves you play on autopilot in a game the less I think you enjoy it.

Pros:
Increased complexity while still simple
Easier to break up a turtling player
Heavy becomes more valuable

Cons:
Slight FTA increase
Suicide tactics less viable

Neutral/Not sure:
Runner becomes less valuable - but will still be needed for vision
Mobi becomes stronger - hit and run tactics more viable
Changes bombshell - easier to kill but can earn more than 1 wit per attack
Mobi and bombshell changes might require a boost to the scrambler?

I agree with you alvendor and thanks for pointing out that the scrambler needs a boost, im sure it gives more credibility coming from someone as highly ranked as you are
