There is it is called Ranked, Blackbox is a different division. Ranked it arguably the one that adhears to the rules more because people can refuse challanges if they want, which ultimately leads to CPOMB teams never getting games. Though this doesn't distract from the shortcomings in the rules as a whole and the problems with CPOMB being overpowered as it stands. However that said I think the skill combination would be perfectly acceptable if both Claw and Pilling On were only obtainable via doubles.
What I am saying is - bring back traits, they would solve most of the problems with the rules, without having to change the effect skills have.
It would also stop stupid players like CPOMB werewolves, which imo should never be possible and has detracted from the uniqueness of that team and player a lot.
So bring back traits, make fouling more powerful (+1 to av roll) so all teams can bash and not just cpomb ones and then bring back igeomy.
With bringing traits in you would also be able to cobine FA and DP again. Improve Tentacles make it a trait. Maybe two heads would be a trait as well.
A major improvement to Sneaky Git would be nice, make it a trait. Something like re-roll foul roll same as PO basically.
PO becomes a trait, its exaclty the same but only obtainable on a double to those players that can have it now, but Big guys get it on a normal roll.
Dauntless back to trait, allow it to stack with Horns and mutliblock take the roll back to lrb4 dauntless roll, 2D6 if higher than opponents St you pass the roll
Make Leader a general Trait again, instead of a pass only skill. Strong arm a passing trait.
Probably going to be unpopular but make Wrestle a General trait this is for balance, to stop Elves being stupidly powerful as a result of wrestle. It would stop them spamming it so much and so that its not only bash getting made to take doubles to create the team they want.
reduce the cost of +St to +40
+Ma stays the same as does Ag and Av
Also double 6 can remove a negatrait at a cost of +40Tv
Bring back secret weapon rolls too
and as a result start spirraling expenses higher as more doubles will need to be taken etc...
Some changes to the rosters (like give Vamps P access) is needed too but not going into that here.
something like this is the way forward imo and before you jump to defence think about it, these rules would certainly make the game better imo.
