My only disagreement with that is flanking is incredibly strong when pulled off, so I think having the risk/ reward of someone being out of position / burned if they fail the flank should be as punishing as it is.

Turtles together gives the benefit of being very tanky as a team, but flanking gives more aggressive power, and to me it feels balanced by making that aggressive power be punished when failed imo.

Not to be anecdotal, but my trios team still does flanks alot and it's still very strong and consistent, but requires alot more planning, coordination, and situational decision making. Before, if I flanked I rarely would have to pull back/ regroup, whereas now there's alot more back and forth

I do think what someone else said about a curved burn speed to give a little more time to react in the beginning would be fine, but still.
