I think it works, just needs some major league fine tuning especially for EASHL. Right now it's too inconsistent, and certain x-factors shouldn't be a thing. Wheels, truculence, elite edges, for example should all be done away with and force people to actually rely on SP placement moreso than the OP'd X-Factors but it is what it is.
If they just took the time to tweak and work these things out, it would be so much better. Personally, I think both blue and red x-factors could be taken down by about 50% and they'd still be effective enough.
