Conlusion:

Overall, this LOA ON was a solid presentation. A 6/10 for vets, a 9/10 for newbies; which sums up to 7.5/10 imo.
While it stumbled in a few areas, the majority of the show brought positive changes that benefit the game's overall health, particularly for newer players. It addressed several key issues effectively.
However, it fell short of earning an 8.5 or 9 out of 10 mostly due to its limited (if not "inexistant") focus on advanced honing and ongoing support problems.
