Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 16:51 PM the reason it's bigger in SC2 is simply because there are way more players, at least 10x more. In: Lobby
Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 16:05 PM If the platinum guy is given time to prepare it could be a close series. If he believes he can body that guy he can do well, if he's given up just because his opponent is in masters league then he's already lost before he's hit the start game button. The platinum player might be better at dealing with a high pressure situation in a bo3 format. League positions are a terrible way of determining a player's ability. I've seen it time and time before where talented, lazy players get bopped by players who work hard to get better when the time arises. Seriously a high ranking on a ladder doesn't give you a licence to automatically body people. In: Lobby
Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 13:12 PM I'd agree we would see better gameplay if there were professional CoH players. That's one of the good things about coh, it doesn't have the executional requirements of SC2 but it still has plenty of the mind games aspect which is the main point about playing against a person. I really hate the term skill ceiling. The only time I ever see it used is in relation to video games and forum users using the term to justify their reasons for playing a game, picking a character/ faction etc. It bugs me as much as "takes no skill to play."

Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 02:04 AM So you're talking about differentiation of player ability and attempts to quantify that. I'm afraid the only real reliable way to do that is through tournament performance, which you can't really do with CoH because there aren't enough tournaments. In: Lobby
Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 01:04 AM I find it odd that when I google "skill ceiling" the only hits that come up are all video game related. It makes me believe it's just a bullshit term used by people on the internet to justify their choices. It might not require the reflexes needed in a FPS or the build order memorization of other RTS games but it still rewards outplaying your opponent by making better decisions than them and adjusting to situations faster.

Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 00:36 AM there's no such thing as a skill ceiling, you're always learning, always improving. the random factor is one of the biggest bullshit reasons for hating on the game, if the game was so uncontrollably random then tournament seeds that would be totally inaccurate, in fact they were spot on in SNF season 4 and the previous tournaments that I've worked on.

Thread: Competitive Play12 Mar 2013, 00:02 AM "Feature that make it friendly to high level play" I don't really understand the question. The real big thing that fucked over CoH as a competitive title was the size of the player base and the marketing of the game. Speaking to people who have given both SC2 and CoH a fair shot have pretty much said those things. If the player base was bigger their would be more players on the auto match ladders and with more people it would be easier to match players up based on elo ratings. In: Lobby

Thread: European CoH LAN9 Mar 2013, 13:16 PM there's a few places you could consider meeting up at such as an iSeries LAN in the UK or dreamhack in sweden. If you want offline play you are going to have to travel, if you want the game to get more exposure you are going to have to travel. i48 is this month but it's very last minute but there are two other LANs planned for this year: insomnia49: 23-26th August 2013 insomnia50: 29 November - 2nd December 2013 http://forums.multiplay.co.uk/insomnia-general-chat/91841-2013-insomnia-dates In: COH Central
