I think most GU players complain more about the fact that a lot of GU keywords are bad than that the faction is bad.
I mean the only decent in-keyword crews are Augmented, Frontier and maybe Marshals. The rest either doesn't have synergies or is just bad. Family needs tons of help, Guard is mostly bad (except MG and Execs), Witch Hunters are mostly too squishy to see play. Journalists also have a lot of flaws
Sure. I can agree that summoners should be changed. I think that instead of making summoning require going through hoops I'd just make it weaker- increase the TN, block multiple summons etc.
Everything is OP!
