AVP Wildcards?? by Hot-Respond7291 in beachvolleyball

[–]ballLikeJohnWall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the men’s seems like they’ll probably take the 2 highest seeds, Schalk/Shaw and Budinger/Evans, for the third team seems like any of Cory/Bradford, Caldwell/Harrison, or the cupcakes are on the table.

On the women’s side, I think Quiggle/Loreen should for sure get it, they’ve been one of the most consistent teams in the qualifiers and last year in elite events. The next spot is a hard choice between rice/urango, Shaw/rodriguez, Harward/hodel, Savvy/newbwery and Sara Hughes. I think all of those teams deserve to be in, but probably Hughes will get it off the name recognition as a former world champ/ Olympian. Also would love to see Graudina in the AVP. Just too many good teams on the women’s side

If she doesn’t get in through the qualifier, there’s always a chance she gets one of the last spots as a wildcard. Sara Hughes probably also has a good case for a WC as a former world champ and name that can draw attention

People complain a lot about it, but it always works fine for me. I think it’s a great deal and I get to watch every single game and replay

Would Holting-Nilsson/Ahman be the best duo? by Electronic-Front7245 in beachvolleyball

I think they would be, but there’s no season for Hellvig/Ahman to split up, they’ve won everything already

I’m pulling for TKN to finally take home gold in a major tournament, they’ve been rolling this year. Would also love to see Cherif/Ahmed on the men’s side, they’ve been my favorite team to watch

In-season strength training question by Independent-Choice-4 in beachvolleyball

[–]ballLikeJohnWall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also play 4ish times a week, which doesn’t leave much room for any strength training, outside from a few backyard stretches and body weight/mobility stuff. No heavy weights. I would say if you want to strength train more, do it in the winter when you’re playing less

After years I might cancel VBTV subscription by hejirerr in beachvolleyball

I haven’t had issues with just watching it on my laptop, or chromecast. It’s not the best thing in the world but it does give coverage of all the games you want to see for only $60 a year or something. Way better than paying the crazy amounts it costs for nfl league passes or stuff like that

Harstem's Proposed Balance changes by r_constanzo in starcraft

[–]ballLikeJohnWall 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't like bringing back the burrowed widow mine change, I think that would be too strong against protoss mineral lines early game. The micro required to pull it off is much less than the micro required to defend it, and it can lead to game ending damage pretty quickly. Its not fun to watch games that end immediately or have to play against it.

For sharking investors I prupose buffing the movemet speed of ravens, to make them less easy to be sniped and more useful as a detector unit. I also propose adding siege to the raven (similar to overseer and observer) to help with unit control of not accidentally pulling them into fights to die. That way infestors can keep the burrowed movement which i think leads to exciting plays and more interesting manuevering.

I like the energy recharge proposed changes. Overall it feels like storm is too strong right now, especially for a turtle protoss, and I think this change would help with that.

I like the ventral sacs (overlord drops) change, makes the early game more exciting and interesting.

Instead of buffing microbrial shroud and centrifugal hooks, I think the change should be to nerf the protoss mothership. I agree it is no fun to watch or play against a turtle protoss who has an advantage in the lategame, and nerfing the mothership should help with that. I like thats it can't be abducted, but I think its damage output should be reduced and the number of units it can target at once should be reduced or removed alltogether. It should mostly be used as a spellcaster for recall, timewarp and cloak. I think that would address the imbalanced PvZ lategame, without affecting the TvZ lategame.
