"If only all those casual gamers were expert gamers then they'd agree that Shove is bad-game!"
Hmm. Interesting argument. But nah.
Yeah, you aren't really fooling anyone.
is that the same people who hate shove *keep* talking about it, sharing their disdain, over and over again.
Ah yes, the good old "Why do you people keep talking about the same problems that were never addressed or fixed?".
Gee, I can only wonder!
Also, before making ANY confident claim that most of the generic non-specialized audience is going to like a certain tweaked feature more, you should give them a chance to actually try both solutions and form an informed opinion.
Otherwise you are just relying on their unfamiliarity with the genre and the systems at play to get an uninformed, uneducated superficial first impression.
And with a first impression and a good presentation you can fool people into liking any sort of broken shit that will show its limitations and problems in the long run (DOS 2 armor system, anyone?).
