Good day,

 

 

 

Right, so a few updates about the league: I'm still waiting on confirmation for the prizes. Don't know why it's taking this long, just bear with me. Devs are busy people, can't blame 'em. 

 

In other news DerMax and I have talked about the choosing of maps and mechs. This is the system suggested:

 

 

The map will be chosen before the match using a banning system. One team will start by banning a maps, then the other team will ban another, and so on until only one map remains. This will then be the map used for all 5 rounds.

 

The team composition will happen using the good ol' team picking way. One player picks a mech, the other team picks a mech, and so on. This gives teams the opportunity to have a balanced first round and adjust player composition based on that round. Another suggestion is to allow each team to ban one mech either for the enemy team or both teams.

 

Example:

 

Spoiler

 

It's the other team's turn. one of their players spawns as SS. Alright, our turn. You discuss and someone spawns as a brawler. Back to the other team. They pick and incin. You discuss and pick a predator. Both teams take turns spawing in and when everyone's spawned a VIP is assigned, the go signal is given and the round starts.

 

 

 

So now it's up to you to get in on the decision making and fill out some polls:

 

Team composition system

 

Mech banning poll.

 

As for everything else, the maps and team composition systems, feel free to debate. 

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Freeze

The map picking can happen in a Google Docs spreadsheet, in real time.

I hope you get your own subforum so that you don't bother non-EU people with your Priority Target stuff.

 

 

In all seriousness, nice work dr_freeze and co.  Glad to see things moving within the EU scene.

Clarification needed on the mech ban system.

GO GO EU HAWKEN!

Clarification needed on the mech ban system.

Yeah, I'm not sure about the banning thing after all. I was thinking along the lines of the Dota 2 draft/ban system, but there are so many cons that I don't think it'd work well.

Clarification needed on the mech ban system.

 

Clarification: Each team would be able to ban one mech for either only the other team or both teams.

 

Example: The map is Facility, on which there is a very good strategy where the SS takes S2 and camps out there. To combat this one team would ban the SS straight-out and the other team would then not be allowed to have an SS on their team.

 

That's one possible scenario. Another is that you're playing on Uptown and a team wants to ban incins or grens due to the high location of the bridge room. Yet another would be that a team is known to play an incin + tech combo. This would allow the opposing team to ban the tech. Don't like playing against preds? Ban the opposing team from using preds.

 

You'll only be able to ban a mech at the start of the match and the ban counts for all rounds. You can't change a ban mid-match.

 

 

I personally don't know about this, hence the poll. The upside is that it'll encourage diversity in terms of playstyle ( note that it's forced diversity, which is not at all a good solution). The downside would be abuse in case one teammember is known to only play one mech and put the team at a disadvantage (however, that's when reserve players can be very handy). One of the things that could benefit is that the ban counts for both teams instead of just the enemy team and making it a penalty for both you and the enemy team.

 

So if the poll is successful I'll look more into it, otherwise it won't be implemented.

Lel. Ban mechs. Sure thing, I'm totally into it. Lets vote for 1 mech that is allowed to be used. And 1 internals/items layout. Because of reasons.

Pffff.

However i do belive that everyone shares my opinion in that case... So whatever.
Why poll results are not public?

Why poll results are not public?

 

They should be. When you finish a poll you'l get send to a 'Thank you for filling in- ' or something similar screen. There you can click the 'See previous reactions' button.

I voted using mobile, while going to work, nothing has been displayed except some confirmation. Thank you and sorry, my bad.
