Introduction
My take on a sweeper team; i've been testing it on & off for a while in slightly different formats. This is the most recent iteration which i'm most happy with. Tried some of the other sweeper teams out there, couldn't really get on with them for one reason or another, decided to try and make one that could actually work with my terrible playing abilty. Designed to be all out attacker which doesn't really focus on the spikes game/phazing/defense; intended to be able to lose team members and regain tempo with revenge kill/hits if the sweep setup cannot be successful. Primary objective is to get agility setup on Lax and drum, that loosely speaking, should put you in a position to take anything & everything. Just looking for opinions / criticisms / suggestions for improvement:

Conclusion
I think the team now just about works for what its designed to do, it makes some fun games when it all comes together, but like any sweeper you do just need the planets to align for you sometimes. It leans on sleep moves & thunders hitting for defense (especially against setups), when they miss when you really don't need them to sh#t can go south real fast. Bad predictions punish you pretty bad too, either way its fun for some unboring games if you want a change from the stall monotony.
