Some things to consider:
Your gutter is essentially a bath tub with a drain. UNTIL the downspout plugs, what happens to all the leaves and needles?
When you get enough of that undergound, what's likely to happen?
Is it easy to unclog an underground drain?
Next part: after the drain plugs, the gutter fills up with water and overflows. Is the gutter only going to overflow the front, or will it also backflow? Is it close to the roof edge and the wood of your roof?
Will the gutter that's easiest to notice be the one that plugs? Will you notice right away? How long will it backflow/overflow before you notice?
How long before you act on it, given that you likely will want to put it off since you'll notice in the rain?
Simply put, the more you keep your unguarded gutters clean the more likely you'll get a plug downstream, and the more often they actually plug, the more likely you are to get wood rot, landscape erosion, and water damage. MasterShield works to prevent all of this!

The minimum pitch that allows MasterShield to work optimally is 4/12, and the maximum is 12/12. There are a few exceptions and we can place MasterShield on gutters that are steeper than 12/12, but having a proper backing (i.e. a tall enough fascia) is a consideration.
