AC as a competitive game

[Roflcopter]

The devs should concentrate in the competitive side of thing and we pubers and weekend players will sure adapt.

This point is particularly worth emphasising. Competitive balance is far more fragile than public balance because competitive play is only a matter of gaining a slight edge. Back when legacy first started, versus many teams this advantage was using Mumble. Today you see it with LC timing their attacks better than we currently do (although not for too much longer!).
