AoI should stay just on defense.

Can't argue with that logic.

Defense already has a large number of ways to drop the other teams morale while Offense has very few.

Adding AoI for the Offense seems to be a fair way of balancing the playing field some what. Especially if Morale and Confidence changes are made to make these more important to a game.

some of these changes just come out of thin air with hardly any thought at all. There is no thought about unintended consequences either. Just keep adding more BS to the game, eventually you will have fooled almost everyone into thinking most of those VA's and SA's actually work.

I really do not know how a pass blocker can be intimidating tbh I mean think about it. Pancake and showboat blocker is more geared towards run blockers. So pass blockers may be the type of player that enjoys this SA the most but run blockers will exploit it and get it nerfed. lol

My guess is this SA has a 2 season shelf life so get it while its hot.

The reason this change is good (and not just for blockers) is this:

Any player can be a bad ass. Any player can be somebody you just don't want to mess with, including offensive linemen. If you have a dirty player, one that just has a seriously bad attitude, then he can easily mess with the heads of people near him. If you don't want to be effected by a shit talking, bad ass OT, then raise your confidence and you shouldn't have many issues.


This is also going to be something helpful for ball carriers, you know, the ones that just have a seriously bad attitude. LBs aren't too eager to tackle em, DBs aren't excited about covering them, etc. If a CB can have an "aura of intimidation", then why can't the WR? If a DT can be a bad ass with an Aura, why can't the guy blocking him have one?


That, and if you're talking about "exploiting" it, simply investing in Thick Skin negates the effect of this. That, and how many offensive linemen do you think are going to take Aura? If they do, they miss out on the ability to pick up Pummel, or any other SA they feel they might need. If they pick up Pummel, do you think they're going to actively shop for a piece of Aura of Intimidation AEQ and skip over the hold block %, the Pancake, the Protector, etc.?
