Muff was widely recognized as in a very strong second tier back in the days when text battling was at its peak in terms of participation and quality competition. But he's fallen off, and the expectations for complexity have increased with the influx of long-bar people (who generally suck at wording but have good concepts).

Reading old battles remains enjoyable because the writing was so much more charismatic and there were more people with more unique styles. namix wrote nothing like Fracture, and neither wrote anything like Resin MIC, and none of those of those guys wrote like Himself. But now the emphasis seems to be 99% on concepts, which sucks.
