A Thought About Learning 6th, and Feast of Blades Tournament Restrictions

At this point, I kind of doubt anyone has played more 6th than me.  Excluding, of course, GW's staff.

I had to get the Feast of Blades missions ready in a week, which meant a LOT of playtesting, and a lot of figuring out what does and doesn't work.  And there's one conclusion that I've come to that seems extremely, extremely obvious to me:

All these people telling you what's "good in 6th"? They have no idea what they're talking about.

The thing that hit me really strongly, that made me realize just how uninformed everyone is at this point, is the armies that everyone started posting to try to prove that double FOC at 2k is a bad idea.  Most of these lists would be terrifying in 5th, but frankly, are pretty bad in 6th.

The 6E "Leak": It's Fake, It's Bad, and It's Dumb

Alright, I was kinda hoping this whole mound of bullshit would maybe blow over and get forgotten but clearly that isn't happening so it seems we need to go through and perhaps tear it apart, piece by piece, to explain why it is not only even more of a tremendously stupid hoax than my own "Tau rumor," but less believable and worse for the game.

Yes, that's right, if, in some imaginary world, this document were somehow real, these changes would not only fail to solve the problems that exist in the game right now but they would utterly cripple it for anyone who wants to play anything resembling a fun and interesting contest of skill. And, guess what, that's something almost everyone- casual, competitive, hobby, what have you- wants from the game. It's no fun to be steamrolled or to steamroll your opponent. It's no fun to only have certain, narrow armies be even reasonably capable of winning. It's no fun to have whole codices invalidated right out of the book. These are all things that this supposed leak of the rules encourages; it is straight-up poor design.
