Hey everyone! Darkness here, posting the first new Naruto League announcement since we moved to the TGN Forums! So, into the subject matter! While going over some of the details of last season, I noticed that some Dedicated Supports were much better than others, and I feel helped the teams in question tremendously. Now, I want to clarify by saying that this is not a bad thing, but, as I stated in the Season 3 Announcement thread, the Free Agent and Dedicated Support system needed some tweaking, as it was a very new concept in Season 2. This is not a very large change to the system, but it will affect most, if not all teams in the League. Last season, Dedicated Supports were limited to two support uses per week, while benched fighters could be used all three times. The change is that now, in Season 3, your usage between your benched fighter and DS as support is shared, and will also alternate every week. This means that if you use your DS as a support for all three of your fighters, you cannot use your benched fighter as support on all three of your fighters in the same week. Additionally, if you use your benched fighter as support on all three of your fighters in one week, you can only use them on up to two fighters the next week, same for your Dedicated Support. This, I feel, will introduce a new kind of strategy to making your lineups every week, as you also have the choice to use both your benched fighter and DS on two fighters each in one week and not have to alternate max usage in the following week. Just in case some of you didn't quite grasp the explanation, I will provide an example below: Let's say your hypothetical team consists of Kabuto, Tsunade, Deidara, PTS Sasuke, and Kimimaro as Dedicated Support. In Week 1, you decide to bench Kabuto and use his support on Tsunade, Deidara, and PTS Sasuke. This will limit your support usage on Kimimaro to two uses for Week 1. In Week 2, regardless of who you bench, you will not be able to use their support on all three active fighters for that week, but you will be able to use Kimimaro up to three times. If you do choose to use him three times, it will alternate again in Week 3, but if you choose to use neither your benched fighter nor Kimimaro three times in Week 2, you will be able to use either one up to three times in Week 3 (though, as I stated before, you will not be able to use both three times in the same week, regardless of how you plan their usage). I hope that cleared things up for any of you who didn't quite get it, and I hope that you all will enjoy this new addition! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them below. Until next time, goodbye everyone! |
