Thread: M20 over nerf rofl10 Oct 2019, 05:13 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2019, 18:40 PMBartonPL M20 was coming on the field when literally nothing could counter it and thus, USF gained a huge map control by then, even if enemy managed to rush the 222 or luchs alike, the M20 has a lot of choices to survive, one of it is smoke, previosuly it was also a zook which im glad it was removed, not to mention that stuart can come in like 3 or maybe 4 minutes later? so why bitching about this nerf, let's find out how it works first This, whilst I would have preferred the Stuart timing was changed instead I feel the changes warrant time and playtesting before crying.

Thread: BIG 1v1 tournament coming later this year?!6 Aug 2019, 21:47 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2019, 21:11 PMSnipercam7 You vastly overestimate the number balanced maps we have, and also the fact that we have Allied vs. Axis every game which complicates things and necessitates utmost balance. Just look at SC2 maps and notice how similar they all are and how symmetrical they all are, now if we had maps like THAT in CoH2 sure... let's go crazy but that isn't the case. CoH maps take a huge amount of work to balance and justify due to the ALlied vs Axis dynamic, garrison mechanics, and the complex resources/capping system. And because of this we have to be very, very, careful about messing with maps too much. That said relative to our game I/we are open to more maps in teh 1v1 tourney map pool with: Langreskaya probably returning Nexus under a lot of work right now to make it tourney ready. Vilashanka well thought of (if the bugs can be fixed) So that's some which could be used already. In: Lobby

Endurance doesn't depend on a map. Having a randomised map means that an additional skill players must hone is adaptability, and knowing the basics of a wide pool of maps. Encouraging players to know exactly what to do on Crossroads 100% of the time leads to situations where we could have Kimbo, VonIvan, Isildur and Noggano all play USF and overlay them with minor variation. You yourself mocked the Spec-Ops meta. This would help alleviate that kind of situation and, in my view, provide a better viewing experience as people see players adapt and strategise on the fly. 4: That's why I'm thinking a side event. Especially if there were a map or two curated for it, to mitigate the worst parts. Fixed interval blizzards, good provision of cover and heat for the early game so that late-game vehicles destroying it becomes a tactical decision.. Re: 2. In sports and competitive gaming competition is about proving skill, not adaptability to a random location. You tell me a sport where you don't know what the playing field will be? Or an esport where they don't always use the same maps over and over? In: Lobby
Thread: BIG 1v1 tournament coming later this year?!6 Aug 2019, 17:31 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Aug 2019, 00:05 AMSnipercam7 I've had some thoughts about this. 1: I'd kinda like to see tournaments start with a group stage, round robin instead of pure knockout. The way I'd do it is this: Best of 2. Each player plays Axis and Allies. Three commander ban against UKF, USF and OKW, Five commander ban against Ostheer and Soviet. If you win 2-0, you get 3 points in the group, 1-1 is 1 point. I'd suggest 4 man groups. 2: Ace game deciders should be a random map out of a large pool. Perhaps work with Tric to create this pool and have the worse excesses of some maps shaved down a little. 3: Commander bans should always be a thing. At minimum 1-2 bans, because it inherently encourages players to have a broader strategy pool than "OKW, Spec Ops, Mechanised, Puma, Luchs, Command Panther." 4: I know people hate ColdTech, but frankly I think having a side event or a smaller tournament on it to see if it develops another meta would be very interesting.. 1. Agree that formats should try and spice things up a bit, with something we haven't had before. 2. Completely disagree, ace game decider should be as balanced as possible so the player with the best skills, endurance, and strategy reigns supereme. Not whoever can think fast enough on an unknown battlefield 3. I agree, however let's see how balance patches look. 4. Dying troops with low visibility is not fun for anyone. We suffered it in tournaments for two years, and for those of us that remember it was just... shit. In: Lobby
