Game breaking

[Nail]

[quote=“Darkcola;22292”]I was curious, genuinely so if the alpha testers ever did this test to see if the game can be broken in play:

yes, any thing can be broken if you try, as Alphas we didn’t test that sort of thing unless specifically asked by SD, that’s the sort of thing free rotations are for

well yes, exactly- to a point. i would like to know the most ‘winning’ combinations and do some tests I think it would be a lot of fun and frustration!

[quote=“Nail;133392”]there are no “winning” combinations, there are people involved. People are seldom consistent, and things change, ideas progress

You can’t play games with a calculator, I doubt there is a “winner” algorithm

after release you and Tokamak can bug Smooth for the stats[/quote]

[quote=“MarsRover;133223”]It’s pub. There is no squad coordination. This can happen only by pure chance. Even with global free rotations it’s not common. …

Ahem…

A typical pub team in 8v8 that has 5 or more Phantoms is the exact opposite of being OP Same with Vassilis and a few other popular choices.

[quote=“Darkcola;133494”][quote=“Amerika;133384”][quote=“Darkcola;133376”][quote=“Amerika;133368”]This thread sounds like an attempt at a what if scenario that is essentially the DB version of, “Who would win in a battle of 3 great apes with baseball bats versus 30 ninja mice with scuba gear”.

Sure, it can be fun to talk about but not exactly a deep topic of conversation. So everyone please chill out a bit.[/quote]

Chill out is exactly it- this always happens when someone thinks ‘outside the box’ or does not conform to these strange unspoken rules.[/quote]

Well, a lot of that has to do with your presentation. You make a clickbait title of “Game Breaking” and then you don’t setup your what if scenario in a manner that is fun and instead present it as a potential serious problem. Of course people will get defensive and not play by your established rules because you did a poor job of setting it up. You could have easily removed the few conflict posts in this thread by not making the thread title something different and presenting it as a critical thinking “what if”.

So don’t absolve yourself of any wrongdoing here as my suggestion for chilling out goes out to you as well.[/quote]

I have NO idea what you are going on about.
I asked if it has been done. I have yet to see someone at all address anything I asked or put forward. All I get is- a bunch of this holier than thou stuff yet again.[/quote]

I outlined it pretty well I think.
