The problem is moreso that with this clause you’re adding a lose condition that functionally doesn’t change anything, so why even add it in the first place. In fact, I’d argue you actually make the metagame less accurate by adding this lose condition because it’s not exactly like struggle did much to begin with. Realistically I just think lose conditions are dumb as a whole and modding them in is weird when it doesn’t even make a large difference.So in general I would agree here, for nc97 in particular I think we should strive to get as close as possible to the original nc97 experience. That's the whole point of the format, if we start changing it, what are we even doing here?
Besides that idt the format is less enjoyable without struggle.
