Norfleet is an unknown quantity at this point

however, that was before the paralysis bug was fixed, so I'm not sure norfleet would want to play them now.
Are you challenging me? I'll still play them.

Ignoring the loaded term of "abuses", which cannot be proven, I've won games where I have not had the option of, or deliberately chose not to use, a VQ.

Admittedly, I *DO* have a certain stylistic preference that the VQ fits well into, but it is because of the fit that I choose it, not the other way around, and it is not the only shoe that fits: My preferences were that way well before Dom2 existed. However, if shoe fits, wear it.
