Feedbacks:
Since we've already entered Phase 2 of R1 there shouldn't really be any more surprises in the event and the majority of the feedback I will give can
probably be given at this point. So I will.
I dislike that earth has the only elemental effect that effects what we get. I'd prefer for it to line up with what the other elements have--something that affects duels. Maybe the person with the higher earth bending cannot have non-earth soft CC used against them (RT, Anti, freeze, etc)? Idk. But to be inline with the other elements would be nice.
Another thing is that compared to water, we don't get an extra mark at the start compared to their +1 element. Others may disagree with me, but I don't equate having to have 4 less mark cards as being equal to having another element available to you at the start. So unless Earth gets a little buff, I'd like to see the marks gotten jump to 3.
A buff to earth that I'd like to see is the ability to control the max amount of mark cards we can use. Right now we can use up to 50% of our deck as cards from our mark element. I'd like to see that eventually be the max amount of mark cards you can start with, where at no earth bending you can only use 12 off element cards max/min. I'm not sure if this would be balanced or not, but considering we already affect the minimum I'd like to affect the maximum too.
Another issue is the 3 shields thing. I really dislike this rule. This rule is so bleh. It is seemingly in place to prevent 6 dims from rolling people without PC? But by doing that you're inhibiting all decks that would like 4 of a shield just to nerf dims. I'd much prefer to see it changed to something like 0-19 cards=1 shield, 20-29=2 shields, 30-39=3 shields, etc.
I'd also like to see Phase 2 become single elimination. The lower bracket can still be used to determine who doesn't get to go to the next round.
