One of the nice things about the fact that bloodbowl is such an old game is how balanced the teams are, and the variety of styles that are available.
I was curious about why people play the teams they do though? Do you have a favourate team? and why?
Vs the computer I started wood elves in the previous version, and got myself a 1 turn catcher (before the nerf), and it was great fun racking in the touchdowns vs the computer.
Against people I have really really struggled with all the elf teams. I guess I am a bit agressive, but too often I seem to get many early injuries, and then it just spirals as your players get marked more and more, and 2 rerolls does not seem to last long. Maybe I just roll too many 1s, I don't know. Maybe I just need to learn how to defend/attack with fewer players. It does feel pretty random though. Some bad luck and your WDs get taken out of the game and it is a real struggle.
One of my favourate teams so far has been Dwarves, who hit reliably and are very hard to get off the pitch. They do seem to take a lot of the randomness out of the game which does appeal a lot. It does mean living in dread of the block, MB claw chaos warrior though, but I guess there are ways around it. With a standard starting team having 3 rerolls and so many skills around it is hard to get hit by a bad dice roll and turnovers are quite rare.
I will give the 4 RR, 5 sarus 6 skink team a go on the open league as well, but I think I am done with elves, the full injury box annoys me too much.
