Little insensitive to the Brits to name it after a Nazi bombing campaign but other than that.

Dr. Katz what do you think would be a better value to represent balance or lack thereof than winrates?

Kats I'm still not sure what you think is a better option than literal actual winrates. You don't seem to like EVs, and with good reason I think.

If you're just saying that using a flat average win rate derived from games with all manner of setups is not helpful then you're right.

I vote NO
We have marathons very infrequently for a reason.

Fewer live slots in games? I'm going to be pretty shocked if this is given as justification from dropping blitz but it's not like I'm paying taxes here.

Things got less active so nuke the fast queue?
I mean yeah, people who would be playing something other than blitzes
because they had to before
probably did stop playing large themes.

I mean do we get rid of the Blitz queue because it's faster than other queues if we're talking about its impact on activity?

I'm likely to sign up for more games in a slower environment because they'll add up the the same total activity for me.
