And then there would be more complaints and nerfs -- which is why the devs need to hear praise for their current direction of encouraging offense & rewarding a successful engagement. No premade boogieman is ruining the mode for you, it's the community's general lack of care for learning the game and finger pointing at those who do learn.

Give people tools to make the play. Let them figure out how to do it, since beating the crap out of someone who's had your number all game (and learning over time how to play) is so much more fun.
I think 8v8v8 would be a much better mode, partly because FL jobs are "balanced" based on a 5v5 mode. The new actions are a good step precisely because they allow decoupling from CC and FL. 8v8v8 also allows matchmaking which is desperately needed, if only to put the significant people who are not making any effort into their own kiddie pool.

Outside of that, don't you think it's rather premature to praise the devs for the changes? Particularly since once again they were foisted upon us without anyone here asking for such changes, while suggestions we've made for years continue to be ignored?

If 7.2 produces a more enjoyable experience, I'll be saying so loudly and clearly in the desperate hope they won't get reverted.
