Let's ban rammers

Hellhound = Breaker Box clone, but definitely a rammer. Personally I think it all has to do with intent and primary attacking method. If the weapon is there mainly just to gain leverage and the drivetrain (and using it to control the fight) is the primary attacking focus, then it's a rammer.
Wins: a bunch
Losses: more every week!

Yep. That's the thing. It also lands in the category of a rammer given that it has a 1 point lifter as stated

I guess it depends on what your definition of a rammer is. Imo, anything with a dedicated static plow or slow lifting design (or any static brick if you will) is a rammer. A 4 bar lifter, breaker box clone, or simple clamp (or jaw) design is a lifter
Breaker Box clones are all rammers since Breaker Box itself has an extremely weak lifter that's only used to help it get underneath something and then shove it around

rammers aren't broken

lifters are still broken... maliciously. even with a nerf.
'lifters' are rammers.

Biohazard is a lifter.

Square Wave is a rammer.
so half of the designs people use can be arbitrarily tossed into this category at a whim

brilliant
Everything is arbitrary.

Likewise, I propose banning Snijmachine. Or at the very least making it compulsory that if it does enter, then so does Klarinette. :P

Baba Vanga is predicting that the 4 billionth and final rammer will be black. Hopefully this is true.

wepons with 4 or less pwoer shoudl not be alowed to have armoru bonues and maby take a armoru negattve of -1
they already don't get armor bonuses

you have to put 5 points on a lifter to get the bonus. we put in that rule to nerf lifters, and it didn't do enough

now we have a new rule about crap on the floor, and that doesn't do enough either

:headache:

we're just gonna roll with it this tournament, but for future tournaments I'm thinking about making the damage scale more aggressive, which should fix the general problem

Not a bad idea, but doing so would not only nerf lifters, but then the scale on spinner damage would be broken imo, allowing them to surpass and basically rip off 11 armor plows within 15 weapon drums and bars
