You can't expect to score using the same builds that were only able to score based on a busted xfactor, so yes using a 72 / 82kg pmd now will be harder to score with - but that doesn't mean goals will necessarily be harder to come by. Want a harder shot? Make your guy heavier and sacrifice speed / acc / agility, or just dump more points into the shooting attributes. Alternatively, use a sniper so you have a harder shot by default. This is not a hard conundrum to solve imo Other player types exist.

Goalie abilitys ban poll next?

What goalie ability are you scared of wtf 😂

Also make it so players can have max 80 faceoffs. Would be nice to use the same builds as wingers as a center😶

THANK YOU, would love option 2 personally, whats the point of banning Close Quarters and showing green light for the One Tee? Need to do something for goalie abilities for sure if CQ is banned. Who makes these decisions hello? We have a tournament in progress where only elite edges are used, these decisions were made quite quickly, i think me and many more elite players aswell would liked finish the tournament first and hear opinions after that.. People will most likely use now make it snappy as secondary ability, same effect than CQ, i dont really get this CQ ban.

I just posted this on Elite/Pro poll: IMO we have 3 options going forward Option 1: Don´t ban anything Option 2: Ban truculence, Unstoppable Force and Big Tipper (the 2 most op and UF for balance) Option 3: Only Elite Edges (If you ban Close Quarters, you need to ban goalie abilities too. This leads to having to ban more stuff for skaters, so you need to ban everything for this to work. Elite Edges is the only ability atm that needs to be on to keep the game smooth, like magnetic and EE last year. Only problem that comes from this is that all builds that don´t have golden EE becomes pretty much useless)

My guy, you are delusional.

WHAT I FEEL ABOUT BANNING ABILITIES First of all i have to say that my opinions comes fully from goalie perspective. Ok lets start with the easy question , did all/some abilities need to be banned? My opinion to that question is yes. CQ , Tru , BT , and UF are way too OP in this game. As a goalie , specially BT is absolutely unfair towards goalie , and also CQ is unfair in my opinion. Banning these abilities hopefully take away some of the "meta" builds , and forces teams to make builds suitable to their own playstyle. So what about goalie abilities , should they be banned also? When i think about it , i think only banned ability should be the tipper. Goalies are really underrated as making different builds already , only 3 starting builds , and to be honest , maybe only 4-5 abilities what we use. Nobody uses any kind of skating abilities or stamina boost abilities ,or if someone do , they are in like 10% out of 90. If they ban Goalie abilities , it takes big slice out from the goalie builds. So what about the effect of banning abilities? My opinion is that banning these abilities will change the game positively. If you want to tackle or bumb you need to put points in to the strength and tackles , with cost of something else , if you want to snipe , you need to put the points to accuracy and shooting strength... Are goalies going to be OP without the BT and CQ? I think not. Actually i hope they are going to be much more balanced now. If you are below average goalkeeper against good puck moving team , i think it wont make difference if u have abilities on or not , they will find the way to score. Two good teams against eachother ---> games will be much more interesting to watch when you actually see that it wont be so easy to score with CQ , or BT. There will be allways bounces , but i think this well decrease those bouncybounce goals. Hopefully this will raise some conversation , without any hate or etc. Put some thoughts , but dont judge without playing with these rules !

Might be the right time to open eyes, goalies are good af atm with their abilitys and they make desperation saves everygame even tho that shot should be in net. And now Close quarters are banned which was our only help to score goals in front of the net, (Yeah i know we still have onetee etc) Goalies abilitys poll needs to be done also. Not fair to players, cause 95% of goalies voted to ban Close Quarters.

After banning CQ, something must be done about goalie abilities. Sure, you can say you can run a sniper build or dump points in shots, but the fact is you NEED those points for speed and acceleration because that's what the meta is. You need chances first to even attempt to score goals. The same logic could be applied to goalies if their abilities were banned: if you want to save snipes, put points in glove/blocker high. They don't have to make such a decision now. Goalies are already terribly OP on straight snipes from the slot. I don't necessarily think the difference will be as major as people are making it out to be, but if we're going to start banning abilities we should do it the right way.

Can definitely do that in the future. A poll will be tricky though, since goalies will be heavily underrepresented in comparison to skaters and especially forwards.

Thats actually not true... You have to have different kind of ability to make different kind of desperation save animation... If u dont have contortionist perk added you cant make for example behind the back save animation or jumping on your side save animation , also you have to use your right stick to make those saves... So you want goalies to be just standing still casually moving left right and to the butterfly stance. Also you have to use points to actually have enough speed to get to those saves. If you ban abilities why do even bother to play as a goalie when everything is just moving left to right , without any chance to make different kind of saves , we arent just bot's u know

How about only letting two players have the same build (sniper, puck-mover, grinder etc.) on each team. That would open up more diversity instead of always facing 5 puck-moving defencemen, perhaps one playmaker as center.

Rip anything that isn't meta I guess, the poor PWF gets nuked into the ground. What is peoples obsession with just stealing NAs list without even questioning it? Nobody in pro/elite, besides maybe muki, puantso and plee, plays like them or frankly wants to play like them so it seems pretty pointless. Before literally anyone ran truculence, unstoppable force was used by like 1 person and is now banned for... reasons? But elite edges, the most overpowered trait by a mile and the only one that is straight up required and forces people to use the pmd over literally anything else is fine? Not banning elite edges if fine but wtf Is the point of banning unstoppable force.

FYI: There is currently a known issue where pre-existing teams doesn't work as intended (you're unable to click the register button). Registering new teams works. Don't worry, this will be fixed. This should be fixed now. (Also, I'm on my honeymoon, so please write Support if there's anything - I won't be available until April 4. 😎)

ok, it's fine but what about one tee?
