I'm a huge fan of the podcast, along with many of the others out there. They bring a massive amount of content to the game, and their contribution to the community is beyond appreciated by me and my local playgroup. That being said, I always try to take their comments with a grain of salt - They bring very passionate, vocal players who have an opinion that may not always be shared across metas.
A good example of this is their comments regarding triggers, blasts and so forth. Everything is OP, since they always seem to have the correct triggers, or their opponent always stacks 4-5 models on top of each other. I rarely experience this. Similarly, no tournament ever sees round 5. Nope. None. Never.
I've personally been able to finish several games within the timelimit - But I have also put emphasis on that being the key goal of my practice-matches up to a tournament. Timelimit is an essential part of the game, and I'm happy they put emphasis on it - But I'd hardly consider this game ruined due to the current state.
