There's also a less tangible reason that's harder to quantify. As folks in the NIC got an opportunity to try lots of different blasters, they started to get a feeling for what constitutes a "good blaster" and a "bad blaster". The reasons can be subtle and often subjective, but collectively we start to get a sense of which blasters are the worst.

There's no doubt the Deploy has plenty of great features. But collectively it's hated because of all its problems, big small and irrelevant. What's that old saying? "When she was good, she was very good indeed, but when she was bad she was horrid." 😊
