Sounds like JohnRayJr and Ranior should have a little 1v1 to settle it :cool: :D
I am no expert but in my 10 plays or so I’ve seen the coke+steel route rise up and then settle down into a strong but not overpowered line. You don’t have to prioritize it to win, but you do have to push back on it if you’ve gone a different route. What doesn’t work is letting one person monopolize it. If you want to just monopolize some other path yourself while your opponent does coke+steel they will usually win. But this isn’t a game where the fun lies in picking your own individual lane and just fiddling around with that.
