Improving Competitive & Ranked? by gobernment August 31, 2016 at 9:08 AM UTC

Currently, Competitive has been added to the server. Ranked is in development and is confirmed as a gamemode, however right now as it stands they are just different in maps. In order to keep it true to competition and make it a better environment, I have the following suggestions. Feel free to include your own.

- Add blindness on the respawn screen to prevent ghosting (confirmed)
- Make tactical information punishments harsher on competitive/ranked (proposed)
- Enable team chat by default instead of global chat
- Prevent joining once the match has started

- Prevent donors or non donors joining at all after team cap (usually 8)
- Make a plugin like in OCN that doesn't allow team stacking: "If Red will remain stacked random players will be moved to Blue."

Make it have different  TE  gamemodes in a random order

Legoche August 31, 2016 at 10:08 AM UTC

No team picking, otherwise players would stack.

Maybe copy OCN and just all out give limited ranked matches and donors get extra?

also if possible giving non-donors a fair amount of ranked matches per day like maybe 20 (like badlion) and donors unlimited so it encourages more people to donate, thus giving the server some support (in a good way)

ImRaging August 31, 2016 at 10:08 AM UTC

Cant pick your teams


donors get added to teams first cos then it gives the rank more purpose and id personally buy a rank for that if i didnt have one. 

Give donors more matches than nondonors

ryans idea is nice random maps

Tazz August 31, 2016 at 11:08 AM UTC

Posighdun and myself have been tasked with planning ranked. We have a lot of ideas, but we can't really tell all of them - we want some surprises.

agreed give non-donators about 7/8 ranked matches and donors 20-25. IMO I would consider highly of donating if this was the case because pretty much I'll just be playing ranked because it's a nice competitive add other than tournaments.

also what ryan said as well was nice and same with raging

  • Possible 'pro' league - MAYBE a prize pool - depends on the revenue made from donations. And we'd still have to talk to Kylo.
  • Global Chat and /msg  disabled in game
  • 2 minutes to strategise
  • A real ranking system that organises teams
  • Donators get more extra matches
  • Requirements
  • Punishments for leaving
  • Noone can join mid match
  • Substitute queue
  • Placement matches
couldn't say it better +111111

+1 on all of that. Substitute queue is cool

STEYN2G August 31, 2016 at 1:08 PM UTC

Yeah, the substitude queue idea sounds really good.

With placement matches and ranking system, do you mean a type of elo thing?

(@Tazz forgot to quote ya)

Yes to the second.

Phjilip August 31, 2016 at 2:08 PM UTC

Don't copy the whole OCN please

gobernment August 31, 2016 at 4:08 PM UTC

Don't copy the whole OCN please
1. I didn't have OCN in mind when making this post.
2. Our ranked is a LOT more elaborate than Overcast's.
3. Even if we did copy, it doesn't matter. Progress is progress.

PokerFace August 31, 2016 at 6:08 PM UTC

I would like to see a separate leaderboard just for these ranked matches. You can see who is doing well and possibly find some new recruits nobody ever heard of.

Also, is it possible to make all players who are in queue for the game use TS? I wouldn't want to play a competitive game without communication.

+1 for all of that

Maybe have something if someone needs to leave they can type a command to have the first person in the sub queue auto-join and have them auto-leave or something

The latter wouldn't be possible and I don't think that would work.

Bloodoh August 31, 2016 at 8:08 PM UTC

To make it more interesting...

*Dont allow users to choose their teams (even if they are premium)
*60 Seconds of team strating
*Requirements (to prevent noobs)
*Ranked ranks, example: bronze 1 , silver 2 , gold 3, etc
*Punishments for leavers
*No one can join in the middle of the whole match
*Infinite rankeds for anyone (more than 10 doe)
*

ApolloIsFunky August 31, 2016 at 8:08 PM UTC

Don't copy the whole OCN please
That's completely invalid considering the fact that other servers use this method too, not only for ranked.

I find it very hard to understand why people say this. But this is a completely different server. So why compare it to another server that other people play on. Just because you're from ocn, some people (including staff) might not know what ocn is. So you really shouldn't compare these ideas to ocn when some important people involved in this update might not know what ocn is.
