I have to say I greatly enjoyed it as well, I've not had that much wild fun with strategies in a while. I really had to pull out the bag of dirty tricks to score a kill with a Hellhound goldfish, and I don't usually get to use those tricks against players who are as good as the names we had in that test match because they take time and good positioning to execute.
With the 3x health I just saw a lot more utility and versatility horizontally rather than vertically (more options that all could work vs what does more damage faster.)
