BnS League Season 4 - Suggestions

[TheKing]

Rules
I think some rules should be placed so that they can be consulted by anyone
No large skins as "lasers" or any skin in this genre
Without using aliases on spec

you think should be here any more ? comment

Maps
I suggest an exchange of maps, how about remove "tophut" and put Encampment, We could also add Leaves2, I think these changes would be very good.

Sugestions
I also read that Korakoff had an idea to decide matchs playoffs, is something of a best of 3 I think it would be a good, would be better if it explain here.

We had some unforeseen in two games, when griffers came and destroyed some builds tower, fortunately on first time, an administrator was online and banned the person rapidly. However the second time two admins were online but none of them was so fast and one of the teams the tower was destroyed, I think this makes any team afraid to play a game and suddenly someone come in and destroy everything so may modify the outcome of the game. I think the admins should see this or some way to guard against these situations.


Share with us your ideas for the league here, can be anything, maps, suggestions for new rules, any suggestion to improve this championship that amazing is the only thing really "cool" about ace of spades.

Leaves2 looks good, encampment... Well it doesn't really seem like a league map, but do we really need to remove tophut?

[TheKing]

I said this, just to not get so many maps to choose from, but can continue, we could remove "Isle of War" that is a good map, but is not used in the league.

tophut is a horrible horrible map that doesn't fit league matches at all. Ak only uses it so much because I saw its flaws and used it against the other teams. Removing it would be great!

Isle of war was used alot in the 1st season of the league

[danhezee]

I removed isle of war in the second season but due to several league participants wanting it as an option I re-added it.

[KomradeKorakoff]

yes i have a couple

I'd like a system in which a map can randomly be chosen, aka, one team chooses two maps, other team chooses two maps, and some randomizer picks. In the case that both teams choose same maps- no big deal, randomizer will still work. Mainly suggesting this because the inconceivable amount of morons who don't understand the concept of "compromising." On top of that, I really like to see more and more different maps - I'll thank the mapmakers right now, and hope to see more. ;)

Also, better servers. West is decent, although aloha servers have really been discriminating against Verizon FiOS users, resulting in lots of lag spikes and whatnot. Not much I can do there, since it's mainly due to my ISP :( East is full out cringe, and maybe someone else could host, I could try to contribute a server, but it would be in west region. I'm not going to talk about UK because lolthats50000000milesawayfromme. And no, my internet and computer do not suck, get out. http://www.speedtest.net/result/3194198661.png

A new solution for tiebreakers in playoffs should be a best of three system, in which the teams play each other three times. The final score will be judged with cumulative caps (i.e., 0-0 in game 1, 2-1 in game 2, 3-0 in game 3; add all three for 5-1 victory). In the case that all three games are a tie, the LAST resort should be KDR. I say this and leave out intel "touches" relatively because KDR arguably shows the power of map control and individual "talent," since generally speaking, the team that has most of the map is able to kill more. This could be argued by saying that a team could be constantly running to campers and dying without getting kills - with the team with less map control (the campers) getting a higher KDR, BUT, that is why it's a best of three ;)

Consequently, I would like more time be allocated to the playoffs and truncate the regular season just a little bit. Not only does it help with the above Bo3 idea, but also helps with teams with people scattered across many timezones.

Lastly, I think the regular season should have an obligatory round robin, with all teams playing each other at least once on top of the regular matchmaking we've had already. There could be a sign up window for the round robin only, with other teams having the options to sign up later, but maybe starting off with a -X point starting. Round robin should in theory result in scheduled matches and a good way to get points. Spectators would be able to know when it happens.

I do have another idea of losses being one point, just to reward PLAYING at all in the season, but it seems to be an idea that is better on paper than it is in the scene.

tl;dr: Better map pool plz, servers suck, Best of 3 for playoff tiebreaker, round robin integration, etc

[TheKing]

I am very much in favor of the idea of ​​best of three, that would end the indecision of who won and how gained. And I also thought about a kind of "badge" written "BnS Champion League Season 3" given only official accounts of team members winner, this is a simple thing but it makes us think that the league is still there and also would be nice to see some people with these badge.

[Gingerninjaperson]

Wow, the leaves map looks great, would love to see that added.

Season 4 is going to have a more elaborate ruleset. Mainly because Season 3 was the season of push the limits. I have been thinking of adding a rule that states you cant fight the same team back to back, the current scheduling system is intended to be a pseudo-roundrobin where every team fights each other at least once. But it seems we have teams purposely avoiding matchups to maintain their record. We could have a season opener round robin tournament in the first two weeks after we start season 4. Your team fights every other team in that two week period and is ineligible for a rematch against other teams until two weeks after the start of the season. And then for the 3rd matchup your team would have to wait until the start of the fourth week.

We could run the regular season 6 or 8 weeks.

As for the playoffs, bo3 sounds good. But, how long do we need to give teams to have 3 matches against each other?

I think we could improve the league in several ways:

• We should make green team easier to see, and blue team harder to see. Blue really stands out on grassy maps (pretty much all of the league maps), while green has a natural camouflage and it's quite unfair (at least for me).
• In the regular season we should choose maps like this: Both teams veto maps one at a time, until one map is left. This way both teams are happy with the map selection.
• Fixed intel locations. Every time before we play a match, we waste about 5-10 minutes resetting intels, there shouldn't be such problems.

With the fog, blue has slight benefit of long range. Map veto would take 1000 years and would produce unfavorable maps for both teams - like a tic tac toe effect. I prefer the idea of fixed intel distance from CP as opposed to location to encourage the dynamic of the game to be a bit different each time.

[scrawl]

I think Bo3 would be nice to have in the league. And fixed intel locations would work great too.

It'd be nice if you could join two teams neither than one. I think it is better because then, you would not have unfair subs.
