What playing against a team of truculence looks like

First off, don't get me wrong, truculence is definitely OP. It needs a nerf while actions like poke need a buff. I think there's a lot of things in the offense that needs a nerf, but that's beside the point. I find playing against a team of these goons to be fun. In this game, like in every truculence game, they just hit and hit and hit. Truc players are slow and the perk makes players follow through more than a regular hit, which means if you can get at least one pass off before getting creamed, you've already have the advantage because the hitting player is way out of the play. They scored first, we saw which players were going for the dumb hits and then we just passed around them. If you have high agility + elite edges, you can even turn good enough that the hitting bubble kicks in if your back is to them. After our 5th goal with about 10 minutes remaining in the 3rd period, they just gave up and started gooning it up. Pass the puck and just keep moving. Thanks for the stats boosts!

    Broooo, this made my morning as, my friend Andre was never quite good enough to play hockey at the level my friends and I did so he became a ref in our league and I swear to God if I didn't know where that clip was from, I'd think it was Andre.  Hahaha

  • @Jammalammala nobody struggles against these teams, but it sure is annoying when having to play this boring game at 4x the length of a normal game.

    They don't care about winning. They're literally trolling you and wasting your time. You probably got 50cr for this win and the game took 4x as long.

    @TheUnusedCrayon True! We figure we spend just as much time waiting for games, getting backed out on, and just managing glitched lobbies, that we don't really mind the wait if these teams want to waste their time getting demolished. Not to mention it's fun to just rag when they're trying to run you and just pass around them.

    In either case, the perk is annoying and a team of users is equally annoying. I just wish the perk system would be ditched completely. Just give us a few points to put in the core stats and just let us be.
