I second this wholeheartedly. And I'd also like to propose an alternative for the +300k TV rule:

Allow Halflings to roster the Chef for 100k. If people want to play +100k up all the time, let them. 300k is way too much, though. At least for a fresh team, just like Enarion pointed out.

That could work as well and a good suggestion, but having a Master Chef on the roster might be too powerful.

A fixed inducement bonuses assigned per tier, or race is what it needs (the same way as it's done on some tournaments IRL), not this... crazy thing. Like, Tier3 teams (Flings, Gobbos, Ogres perhaps) always get 200k gold for inducements for free each match, PLUS whatever additional inducements they can get due to diff in teams' TVs (ok, that could be changed while they develop, like starting from 1500TV they would be granted only with 100k for free, and so on). Tier2 teams get 100k for free, etc. For private leagues it should be implemented as fully customizable feature.

Fine suggestion, however, I think free inducements, is a bit too much. Coaching flings and Gobbos is suppose to be challenging. That's part of their charm.

As someone who plays pretty much only Throw Team mate teams, Halflings are my true love. Enarion is spot on that this 300 extra is killing alot of my teams. You are facing people who in reality you shouldnt face and they tear you apart. I have been lucky in the past and been able to throw a few over their heads to score and such, but the toll it takes on the team often kills it. I think that it is by far a mistake, and only punishes the halflings.

Cheers Monty, for the input. I talked briefly to Netheos concerning this and maybe next week they will change it. I said we could give the "at 1500TV add +300TV", so between 1000-1490TV no extra TV added to your Team Value in matchmaking. Naturally, we need to test this out, which brings a heavy burden on us stunty coaches... i.e. try to get a stunty team above 1500TV. chuckles
