@drain2234 @reinout90 @TheBeekeeper17 @Hyrgola @BitsHammer There was approximately 20 women competing in AOS at LVO. Which doubled from last year. A bunch of women said they saw how we play and are signing up next year. Why? Because the misogyny level isn't awful like 40k. Maybe if y'all didn't hate women so much ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”

The pathetically small turnout for socal open highlights what happens when you ignore a large portion of your community and provide extremely poor prize support #flg The socal community is huge and we regularly have 50+ people GT's like 4 times a year here.

I feel like the game is at its worst state of balance since I started playing AOS It used to be that skill > power army. But lately it feels like 40k where skill plays second fiddle to army selection The overwhelming power of these latest books left everyone else behind

40k player vitriolic reactions to their 76% winrate armies getting nerfed speaks volumes about the community AOS players get nerfs and most are like "good I hate when my army is the one everyone hates playing against" Or "Fair enough"

Don't scoff at AOS in your various podcasts. I've never heard a positive mention of AOS in an FLG podcast, and I've had one of your representatives walk by my table and laugh saying "so this is competitive sigmar huh?" Not a good look. Made me not want to come back. It matters.
