Psh I think you guys are just being dramatic about this. I love quads but I'm in favor of these new rules because I'm sick of seeing quad falls or poorly executed quads getting higher base value and final scores than clean triple Lutz and flips. It's kind of ridiculous. The fact that anyone who doesn't have a quad is automatically considered a second tier skater even if they have better transitions, edges, and quality of skating should have been a red flag years ago.
Don't tell me you really think just because he has quads that someone like max aaron* should get more points technically (not even considering PCS!) than someone like Jason brown who has high GOE on spins, footwork, and his non quad jumps and jump combos. Because previously even with falls max was set up to get way more TES points, even if he has less quality on the other elements and two footed his quads
*Max aaron from 2013. I rather like his new programs
When's the last time max aaron beat jason brown. Old rules were enough to make Max aaron irrelevent against Jason brown and now aaron is Even more irrelevent against Jason brown because of these new rules. Not just max aaron but max kovtun too. Now aaron and kovtun are completely irrelevent to skating.
