Menace Ability

Has anyone done any testing with the menace ability? Curious if it has the same KO effect as midzone but without the reaction time or if it’s entirely based on timing

The difference in my thoughts is that it adds deflation, crusher aspects. But I'm not a fan simply because reaction speed is crucial, equivalent to the actual rating.

I used Menace all throughout Zero Chill, on multiple different players/cards, with the same, if not similar (meaning ZERO) results.  Sounds incredible, who doesn't want "Perfect catch tackles increase knockouts and fatigue" but i've found it to do very little of what the description implies.  Very few knockouts (my DBs with no abilities get more actual KOs) and doesn't appear to impact fatigue or stamina enough to make a difference.

Even if you can run this ability for 0AP, i'd encourage folks to try something else.  Please let me know if anyone has experienced different results, especially for the S6 variant... although i fail to see how or why things would be any different today.
