PACT Regulations for LR

[NiX]

Maitreya and I did some testing on the TP and we're pretty torn about our findings. TP certainly makes blading a lot more plausible, and it's a serious incentive for bladers. But aside from that, TP even without a left-arm gun, still allows for a wide variety of abuses.

Here are some abusive designs that Tim and I came up with (in case TP becomes legal for bladers):

EYE3
U3/UA
LEMUR2/LORIS
FA
KONGOH
F73H
TP Boosters
ANANDA
GAR2
RL
ELF2
MV/MV2
HARPY2
Hangered GHOST or ROC2 if using U3 core

Ayan. Such a design obviously just equips the blade for the sake of being able to use TP. The weapons on it are for maximum backpedalling ability combined with high armor and the great dodging ability and speed of TP. The lack of a left arm gun really decreases its offensive potential though.

Example 2:

S2
Non-OB UL
LORIS
DINGO2
KONGOH
COWRY/LIMPET
TP Boosters
ANANDA
RM3/GAR2
69M
RA
PIXIE3/RS/98L/RL
ELF3
Hangered GHOST

Here's a design that really tries to capitalize on the speed of the TP while keeping good firepower. If such a design opts for the PIXIE3, then it still seems pretty fair. However, if it opts for the RS or the 98L, it has the potential for gaining AP lead and then running throughout the match. With RL, it's still kinda ok.

CONCLUSION:
So after all that testing, I really dunno. An AC with TP is certainly harder to keep in a lockbox. Its evasion also goes up much higher, as well as its ability to position itself. Its offensive capabilities do go down because of not having a left arm gun, but if an AC with TP can keep itself in midrange, and pick away with accurate weapons while dodging fire, that shouldn't matter.

So for me, having TP is certainly a huge advantage, but without a left-arm gun, I'm having trouble thinking of anything that'll make it unbeatable. So right now, I'm still BARELY for it. Maitreya's definitely against it though.

What do you guys think? Do you have any ideas for more abusive designs?
