00:00 Introduction
00:59 The game isn’t balanced
07:30 Armies should have weaknesses
11:32 It’s worth spending Might to kill warriors
16:45 Elite armies are overlooked
21:08 Heroic Strike is overrated
27:25 Special Strikes are not well designed
29:17 Fight Value is overrated
30:50 The Forsaken is the best
32:04 Isengard is the best
33:37 Alliance Matrix isn’t needed
35:00 We need less supplements
36:46 Rangers of Ithilien was overnerfed
38:59 Bring back Volley Fire
40:59 Skill is more important than a good list
43:16 Not everything needs a profile
45:36 Azog/Bolg shouldn’t be F7
47:08 Suladan is fine
49:24 Knight of Umbar doesn’t suck
50:48 Glorfindel & Rivendell suck
52:46 Isengard Berserkers should have Burly
54:08 Siege engines should be banned
55:50 Maelstrom deployment should alternate
57:30 Mounted heroes suck
01:00:39 Veto system limits army variety
01:03:04 Lower point games are more fun
