Wow. Still grinding, I see. I can't decide whether many of you remind me of a bunch of old ladies in a sewing circle bitching about the neighbor down the street or a box of hammers desperate to find a nail.
What I would say to all the people hesitant to play energy blast is just this: Play what you want, how you want. Don't let the cry babies or the resume takers decide your fun. Just one star them and move on with your life. I'm not advocating griefing but I am saying that a chance for kb is literally baked into every power of that set, save "aim". If the lot of you are as good at playing this game as you imply, you should be able to compensate. If not, maybe you aren't that good. To quote Sgt. Highway (and the Marines). Improvise, adapt, overcome.
I was always lead to believe the primary purpose of a game was to have fun, not to treat it as a six sigma/continuous improvement project. Guess I was wrong.
*After reading this, I can see where the internet lawyers will misinterpret --You too have the right to play as you wish. Kick, one-star, leave teams. Have fun the way you want as well.
