Defensive Adjustments Needed
After playing the game for the first few days, it seems like the poke check and stick lift need a little buff to help particularly when playing defense. I’ve only seen a handful of stick lifts in t...

I disagree with the comments on stick checking. Even if you don't spam it and try to use it sparingly, there is a good chance you make contact with the puck just enough to move it 2-3 i inches and have the guy pick it right back up again.. and since you have to close the distance to make that contact..he now has burned you with wheels and is gone.
Even attempting to swipe at the puck, usually you make contact, but the opposing player moving forward makes contact with your stick lifting it up slightly.. and then they just pick the pick back up.
Sure it was overpowered, it should 100% cost more stamina but right now at least in WoC it's almost completely useless.

This makes sense. I've only played a handful of WoC games, so this likely went under my radar.
But in OVP - there's definitely an old META coming back where players can blindly poke check and get some success from it.
I've certainly had more success with stick checking in the versus modes (hut specifically) but in WoC and especially in 3s .. it's just not impactful enough, there is too much space and the offense have way too many options.
