I’ll say down with variants, its enough with new shapes. I don’t like new shapes for the hagah but I can’t do anything about that.
Right now no Hagah looks like they are honoring anybody. The problem with the Hagah masks is that they can be misinterpreted as the standard shape for the Hagah mask powers. Because we have no reference for who their masks are referencing.
Similarly for tyq squad if a variant mask wins is it A) its normal mask power or B) a Hagah situation were its another mask power in the shape of a variant of an old or new mask that looks vaguely similar to say a pakari.
