New (or heavily modified) mercs testing DRAFTS?

(Glottis-3D) #1

how about making a direct merc testing draft?
It is the same draft that we play and love, but here both teams have to use at least 1 merc that is currently on the test. (Rhino-draft, Phantom-draft etc etc)

i mean, this is much proper test than pub testings with 16 Rhinos. because of chaotic (and non-object) nature of pub games atm. In drafts chars will be used at their more obvious and usefull possition for a obj-oriented team games and in more natural balanced merc surroundings.

and if we will ever have a possibility to play 2 or more versions of the same merc - this is also better place to test them.

I suggested something in the past, ‘Highlander’ mode pick-ups, but people weren’t so keen. We’d definitely appreciate it it more games like this were played though as it generates a lot of interesting feedback on how we can improve under-played characters.

xLcR is all the way in such things
and i think not only we

you could do a double xp event for some mercs(currently not very usefull because of no use of the xp :)) or smth like that.or a test new stuff day , like with the new maps.
btw what would you think about give the classes on the th public servers special rewards !
as example, you pop in every engi class as reminder .get double xp
for plant construction.
or event challanges like ingame mission do 10 revives before the map ends,or revive 5 engis. would give the matches more replayability.(example like in lol when pops ob for rengar kill kha zix…)
but for sure it would increase the teamplay.
ye you have to make sure that its usefull for the gameplay.
btw die by trying to defuse should give some points extra too.

I’d like highlander mode I think.

Well we tried it, but it failed. It depends on how many objective mercs get played though.

i prbbly wasnt around when that happened

That was pre-agnostic objectives. It may be more viable now except 1 medic is pointless.

(Smooth) #9

There’s more than one medic to choose from.

(INF3RN0) #10

I think he is saying that one medic alone is pointless, but I’d disagree with that anyway.

Also maybe make drafts with other game modes like tdm and execution :slight_smile:

(Hundopercent) #12

I mean 1 medic on a team. :slight_smile:

I don’t remember this :frowning:

You started Christmas drinking already.

We played Highlander in the past, I really enjoyed it, no-one else seemed to though.
