No. No. No. No. Nobody depends on defensive wins to hit 1k. In fact, it's going to be EASIER to hit 1k because you don't have to worry about the AI using SS against you.

Not if the one attacking you is like me and got the easiest KP cover to get (purple) and doesn't have a black KP cover

Nope, no one doing that here...

If you've to worry about losing your games it's going to be a pretty painful climb to 1000. Of course you don't depend on defensive win but having Kingpin eating up black means even if you inexplicably got lucky on defense you would still lose so you'd almost never get a break from gravity.

Been shooting people down with the Twin Pistols a lot in this PvP. The problem w/ a kp/hood/xf? team is that it leaves red and blue uncovered, and your team is VERY vulnerable to surgical strike on defense. I've been running a (pur/yel) KP/cmag/xf team, and the offensive output is much greater w/ magneto on board, PLUS rainbow coverage.
