i've read this thread 1 week ago, but can't remember every post. i don't want to read it again.
i don't understand the discussion of this topic. rules say clearly, there are a number of various schemes in classic league.
if you participate in classic league, you must agree to opponents pick.
if someone says that he only will play, if you don't pick ground/rope schemes, then he is lame and abusing tus rules.
