Maren Dueling Rework Proposal

[[SE] Maren]

Hello just a short introduction, I am one of the oldest players on MB2 and constantly see people using yellow after many years, though after these changes and seeing some slight more use of other stances since they were made slightly more viable, I have decided to offer a rework proposal to help MB2 devs.

I have predicted the downfall of open once legends came to be, and gave suggestions before some of which were partially implemented without any credit to me, so I'm here to propose new ideas so that MB2 can continue to improve, I hope it is appreciated for all the work I do for this community.

No

That's why nobody uses other stances, and that's why you're a bad saber dev.

Just like the open devs you will be wrong in the long run.

The other styles besides the meta yellow do need some fine-tuning to it. To be fair @Leons has done a remarkable job being a saber dev dedicating his time to fix and fine most of the issues from previous r20 patches.
