well, most real vets avoid all the standard builds. even on kai, without any real rules, the fun players will usually follow "gentlemens rules"
most people go to large tourneys to win though, especially if there is good prize money at stake. so it can be hard to stick to all the gentlemens rules while preparing for a big tourney. Because even if you know most players will abide by them, there is always that worry that there will be that one player who is abusing everything he can to give himself the edge in order to win. so most vets preparing for a tourney will just shrug conform to that same tourney legal abuse design that basically everyone else brings.
I mean, in all honesty, every AC game despite how many problems it may have, can be an absolute blast when you play with the right group. I always found that friendly matches in LR after the actual tourney were much more fun then the tourney itself. once players started breaking out all their more interesting designs that would be at huge disadvantages against the standard LR abuse design.
tiers in multiplayer games is often maddening, LR simply has the added disadvantage over other AC games because its problems extend far beyond simple part imbalance.
