Its like Kaon said, they're an all or nothing guild. When fortressway isnt working they look like a bunch of headless chickens waiting for polly to bark out commands.

Overload is pretty awesome. The LoD paragon seemed like a pretty cool idea to me.

Pretty big improvement I'd say ;o

I don't think you give snuff enough credit. The tag guys are good though.

On second thought, I probably won't end up putting OG second, their frontline and midline is there but unfortunately their backline is lacking. And I don't know how you can sit here and say rawr doesn't have a strong roster, player for player they have a strong team.

That was Jatt

I thought it was cool

rawr may be all or nothing, but if you say they're headless chickens, they must be some of the best headless chickens out there. How often do you see top teams revolve strictly around one player? rawr's recipe may be unorthodox, but it certainly works for them.

And plus, people mention about the all-or-nothingness of rawr, while forgetting that DF got 17th two monthlies in a row, and dR missed top 16 last monthly as well. Teams have some good months, some bad ones.

My list:
dR
uF
Euro
HGH
sup
StS
rawr
OG

I counted the next month in OG as part of DF too. Well, DF minus the uber fencehopper.

Farin · Apr 24, 2008, 05:41 AM // 05:41

DF without the fencehopper & chiizu = not DF. Silly you.

Fixed .

Well if they have a strong roster and dumped their horribad players, and perhaps even have a ranger in their team, then yes, rawr can do well.

I just haven't really observed any games in ages so didnt know much about their new roster.

Very true, their frontline was one of the main reasons they were so good. I wonder how they will fare now, especially in a meta where warrior skill is more important than ever.

Well rawr is still rawr, they play defensive spike builds and obey overlord Polly.

But they actually have the players to be able to play different stuff now, although with the frontline they have it's always gonna be spike.

Their roster is:
Polly
Hexen
Jatt
Asp
Jaden
Pounds
Awowa
Torsen

I don't understand which "horribad" player they can dump from this roster. Jatt is also a very capable ranger if they decide to run a less spiky build. They all have great individual talent, but the problem is their team mentality when led by Polly. The only way to shake rawr up from being a spike build is to overthrow Polly's ideas, but that's not going to happen.

OG is more DF than dR is iQ. But somehow people still referred to dR as iQ for the longest time.
