Well like I said the actual VAs would be a matter of debate and eventual Bort choice. And yes it would likely be highly debated.
And its not like you could not use your VAs anyway. The idea is just to not make it so that every single O line man has the same VAs because he always has enough for all of them - OR if the does then there are some extra ones he can get that are varied for the same reason.
As for the ALG issue, yes this is not the only cause of cookie cutterism. But its one and we can only solve one issue per suggestion usually.
And I have no idea what to do about ALGs.
