If you put a RF on a combo with GB145 and MF-H and something like Libra, does that now make RF a defense part now? If that's the case, the metagame doesnt make sense. Are you getting what I'm saying? I could explain it better.
CS and RF are totally different. Just because they both have rubber doesn't mean that you can compare them.
CS was never intended to be a strict attack bottom. The way it is mostly utilized now, because of its lack of attack in most cases, is to use the rubber for defensive purposes.
How are you so sure that it wasn't meant for attack? I mean, I see your logic seeing as how it could be used for stamina and attack, which was its intended purpose, but aren't beyblade types determined by their bottoms? I mean, people use RSF for defense but isn't it really supposed to be a balance combo? I wish there was a better way for me to show you what I mean.
Actually, a perfect example I can think of is Libra CH120RF. Labeled as balance but it is really an attack combo. Making any sense now?
Note the word "Sharp" in "Coat Sharp." Sharp series bottoms don't really give a lot of attack.
Beys are never determined by one part alone. As a whole bey, the parts benefit in its performance and in each category in one way or another. MF Lightning LDrago 100CS isn't necessarily a defense type. Bottoms are an important part to a bey, yes, but it's the whole bey that creates the final verdict.
As to Libra CH120RF, the bey is designed to outspin regular attack combos and knock out stamina and defense types, making it a somewhat "Balance" type. Again, Libra provided the stamina, and CH120RF provided the attack. It's not all in one part.
