Well if someone creates one because there are not enough DSL MW or HW Tourments

There's more variety possible in the upper weight classes, definitely. Most of the LW's in BBEANS 6 were either relatively similar, or not that effective. The freedom of more weight, and thus more components, in the MW and HW divisions opens doors in terms of design.

That's exactly why they're the most popular.

One second, I'm having a goddamn brain hemorrhage merely comprehending the sheer scale of the naivety of that sentence.
 
You have created the elder god of ignorant comments you crafty cultist, and now I am going to go in a coma in the next 3 seconds.

You're kidding right, ofcourse that comment's true, more weight to play around with means more possible designs, simple.

All DSL is is a bunch of boxes with pipes coming out of it and a bunch of loopholes to a realistic rule nobody follows.
 
All Stock is is a bunch of boxes stacked together.
 
If you honestly think that there is a scent of any sort of "variation" I hope to never see your goddamn wardrobe:

So you don't think there's any variation in the game as a whole then?
That wasn't what he was talking about.

The kind of effective designs in DSL you can get ranges from things such as popups and rammers right the way through to FSS and SnS. And there's even further variation in the robot design classes themselves, you can have a SnS in the style of Increased Betting Limits, or something like SnSnSnSnS. Effective LW's are all fairly familiar just because of the weight limit, and LW cube flippers are almost all identical, with the exception of S_M's side panel use.

In summary, we use MW and HW classes to give ourselves the illusion of variation, in the same way we use DSL over stock.
 
If we look deeper, we are not having variety, but the illusion of it.
 
It's all the same, but in different colours!

Yes, it all leads us back to the one, non illusion in this world. Death.
Love is death and hate is death, food is death and oxygen is death, black is death and white is death, stock is death and DSL is death.

Scorpion: You are now the universal tool for eternity. Enjoy this fact.
 
I'd give you a crown but any sharp objects but not be given to people like you, as you may accidentally castrate yourself by sheer dumb luck.
 
Have a safety helmet instead!

I would wear that safety helmet but safety helmets, even red ones are death.

Erm, B.O.T now perhaps?
