Like I said, the pacing is definitely slowed down, for both teams. Your ability to steamroll is affected by this; and on the flip side, so is the AI’s. In aggregate, I feel this tends to work out in the player’s favor, as slower matches give more chances for intelligent counter-play (denial, status effects, chain-into-4-match) at which the AI is comparatively poor. But it won’t be to everyone’s taste; nothing ever is.
