I mean we could sit here and say the same thing about any squad. Rebel Commandos, Solo Charge, Skybuck, Cad & Imps. Daala in the hands of a skilled player is where the argument lies. I would be more interested in seeing how you placed at a regional running Daala Tim/Jason K. Would love to see the scores of those games, and how long it took you guys to win.
Just because top players are not running Daala and she is being beat does not mean an issue with the squad/piece does not still exist.
We talked about this on SHNN a little this week. Part of the problem with Daala squads is that she has some VERY bad matchups, but more importantly she doesn't really have any cool tricks. She is a very straightforward and pretty much its run 12 (or up to 12) and shoot. Nothing surprising, no swap or tow or intuition or anything. Very similar to the old IG86 swarms that used to see alot of play or to Mace/GOWK that saw a lot of play. Very good squad, just no real opportunities to take a bad matchup and make much of a game of it.
