First of all thanks Zalo <3
Skunk3, crate luck are crate luck, yea. But what Zalo is trying to prove is that if you force yourself to collect all crates, it doesnt become a game of luck anymore. Imagine a shopper where you collect all crates and your opponent none. I can safely bet that you will win that shopper.
Talking about power weapons, yes, it is increased. So what? Look at the amount of ground there is (to be destroyed). Come on, I mean, it is not like in inter where in the begining your worms are pretty much exposed to any sort of attack. Also look at the amount of health every worm has. If Id change anything to mole, Id change clusters from 3x to 1 or 2. Thats the only crate that can seriously f@#! you up with luck.
Just because mole isnt as luck free as ttrr, and I wont include elite here because Ive certainly had some matches against top players where I lucked so much... anyway, it doesnt automatically mean it is a full luck scheme. Its in the free league, first of all that should ring a bell already. So, according to tus, it would be scheme that contains luck, but at the same time appropriate for a league, which definitely means theres a skill bar in this scheme.
I used to hate mole, I thought it was a scheme that just contained luck as well. To be honest, with the amount of matches I had with Zalo, my perception totally changed. You just see in his game that he has an answer to (almost) any tactic, and any sort of lucky moves you have. Skunk3, Id definitely recommend you to play against a top player, to rethink about your opinion about this scheme when you have done that.
Hope ya enjoy your day
