I approve of the format changes for the latest series, I was never a fan of the league format, it resulted in too many pointless battles between robots that weren't working properly.
The 10 way fight was suitably manic, much better than the annihilators format they ran a couple of times in the classic series, which never lived up to expectations as the format called for 1 elimination at a time.
I'm also genuinely surprised they've not put any limits on spinners yet given how powerful they are these days, the arena wall got smashed a couple of times in the original run (which itself caused controversy in S7 when spinners were allowed to get back up to speed on a re-start) but never to the degree that Apex obliterated it when it blew itself to bits. If that had happened in the original run the bar would probably have gone into the audience, so I guess it's less bad..?
