Iteration / Design Archetype	Primary Mobility & TTK	Map Demand & Sightlines	Combat Drawback / Vulnerability	Snowball Risk
Iteration A (Classic High-TTK)	TTK: 1.4s \| Speed: 1.0x	Compact containment, controlled chokepoints	Team-shot dependence, slow individual clutch potential	Low (0.18)
Iteration B (Modern High-Mobility)	TTK: 0.8s \| Speed: 1.3x + Sprint	High map stretch, wide open sightlines required	Spawn-trapping propensity & dynamic sightline fatigue	High (0.42)
Iteration C (Low-TTK Hardcore)	TTK: 0.3s \| Speed: 0.8x	Corner-camping bottlenecks, high cover density	First-look win bias, reduced counter-play window	Extreme (0.65)
