Chris, I have played eleven years and consider myself in the top ten percent (I hope). I have NEVER played the Noldo or Cloud Lord and several other very powerful nations. Learning wise there is no substitute for playing nations 1, 2, 3 and 10.

How about limiting Veteran players to powerful nations only? That
would resolve the issue of "allowing" newbies to play them. How
about it? Any volunteers?
I would like to learn how to play these nations, by... hhhmmm
watching another player play them. Oh, I see - real practical
experience.
If I am not mistaken, a part of being a toddler is learning to take a
few bumps on the way to walking. Yeah it may take a few years before
one learns to walk without falling. Sure you encounter a few bumps
and scrapes along the way. But usually you have a parent, relative
or loved one to guide you along. But each of those adults know that
a toddler has to learn how to walk on their own.
I don't think any of us would be where we are if we were sheltered
from the "real world." (well, maybe not Clint). Let us kids learn.
As if!
Chris

Fair enough. But I am sure within those eleven years you were
afforded an opportunity to play Noldo or Cloud Lord? Would you not
agree that my status in the bottom ten percent (I am sure) should
limit me from at least trying to play Noldo or Cloud Lord?

Once you are experienced enough and have an idea of some of the demands of playing an important or complex nation then I would suggest that any nation should be allowed. Danger of too much to learn too soon. CL and Nol are both those (and the most popular nations as well).
I certainly wouldn't stop players playing them but would urge them pick something else.
