Akido would be great imo if one of two things happened. A: Shoveling were somehow removed from possibility. Or B: The mode were altered so that shoveling was somehow less affective. I would imagine that shoveling is not as big of a problem in the higher qi restricted severs where even if it is done people know how to beat it (like how in wushu8 you see less rush moves and more improv or 3 turn attacks) but even then the second you lower your arms some dill weed will most likely start CAPSing "SHOVELER!!1GTFONOOOOOOB"
