Retrospect: Ships 2.0

I’ve always enjoyed ships but 2.0, hounds tooth and falcon have really removed a lot of the enjoyment. It’s so hard to theory craft around these things when it takes months to fully develop a ship and even try it out. So you end up forced into the same thing. I’m one of the only few folk in the top of my shard not running ackbar now and even though I get targeted a lot for it; I can actually climb reliably without rng being a problem. Mirror matches always come down to rng or outspeeding your opponent.

That said; reinforcement abilities are a nice concept. It’s just a shame that with 3v3 it’s not that useful because whoever can focus fire the fastest wins now. There’s no real strategy other than survive till you can call cassian and kill the falcon then bust everything else down fast as you can. Real shame but it’s still 400 crystals a day so I play the same matches over and over regardless. I’d like more tools to play with but again; being that it takes so long to develop a ship, it would still take a while before we saw any sort of diversity.
