WHAT?! ETC IS a hamfisted format that bans FW and caters to gunlines even more...it's not 5th anymore. Itc is better. Europe is stupid for using etc.

I'll bet EU will go for bigger boards because, gunlines are great, and will ban FW even if they got a spot in the codex...

ITC buffs gunlines and marines ridiculous amount with scenarios that favour just killing unlike non-ITC that is more about objectives. And stats show it. Marines get 10% boost in winrate in ITC compared to non ITC. Orks lose 20% of their win rate. You really think marines NEED buff and orks need such a kick in teeth? Lol

ITC doesn't know what balanced game means. 10% boost to already most powerful faction and 20% off from faction that has already under 50% winrate. Lol

- battlefield is too small for 1k. We didn't have many models so it was ok to deploy them, but other armies easily have double or triple the number, making the field really crowded. Also my plasma canons could reach 97% of the battlefield (excluding areas behind LOS of course)

It should be noted that with terrain rules changing it might be too early to judge this completely. (Also points, but I think the effect of this has been overstated by the community)

Oh yes, those MW spam bots, tau suits or leviathans like totaly made the game more fun and balanced, specialy as GW did not seem to have though about any FW unit durning their design process. Not to mention the fact that as we all know all armies get the same access to FW stuff.

And ITC is not used everywhere you go in the USA.

well it is used in all the places where good people are. everywhere where there is no ITC played, there is satan there.
