Off-Topic Discussion / Re: real facts

so a few thoughts on some of the suggestions for the flat:
- banning the flat outright would obviously be the ideal solution, but its far too much of a crutch for a lot of people to agree with
- i also don't think people will accept a weight increase as it would push some of their bots over the weight-limit
- yes i realize this would also affect things like drums and lower weight spinners (**** them tbh)
- a statistical nerf would probably be the best way forwards with how dependent the community is on it. i've tried various bots (eom, rorscach, etc) with various nerfed flat motors around piglet to twm levels, and while they are noticeably less damaging, they are by no means completely inept at fighting. it also encourages people to either use either stronger motors to self right, or have a dedicated srimech as the motors usually aren't strong enough for bots to crawl around on their disks
- while i do think some of the weapon motors could use some tweaking, unless you buff all of them to the point where the meta is even more ****ed up, i don't think that buffing the other motors would reduce flatmotor usage. the flat would still probably remain the top choice for gutrippers due to its weight, size, and hp, as well as that more powerful motors really wouldn't be worth it for them unless they're absurdly powerful. ofc banning the flat would solve this, but i don't think that's something that's possible rn. also, i dont think 2.2 component and chassis hp is adequate for stronger motors, but that's for another discussion
- personally at this point i would be fine with outright banning the flatmotor, but i recongize that its gonna be a long slow process and that not everyone wants to go the full distance
feel free to agree or disagree, you do you
