Hotjoin mentality? I explained this like 4 weeks ago, told them to fix it on the last sotg, they aint do kitten because those players are the ones that are abusing hotjoins so they can be high ranks.
As you see in image 1 I got 591 points, the treb is everything when it comes to points on khylo, so easy to use all you do is aim it to where you see all the bright lights at (where the action is), my typical start with treb is at far point node because enemy zerg will go and cap it, then I aim it right in front of clocktower and bridge (where the enemy comes from) and time it right when they about to be in that area and just confuse the heck out of them because nobody else does what I do. Anyways when you playing against a bunch of newbs they aint going to treb anyways and with the new hotjoin system you can pick which team your on, obviously pick the team with the good players while the newbs pick random or the bad players team.
But in the other maps, it aint about doing communes and capping all day long, its about tagging as many peeps as you can and following the right people. Leave the finishing and whatever else to the people who don’t know whats going on.
Another big indicator of which team to join when a game starts is when you cant join the red team and it stays like that for 10 seconds or so… what you do is don’t join blue team and wait for someone who isn’t patience aka newb to join other team while your spamming red team because that’s the team that’s going to be farming people all day long.
This isn’t such a issue but since the introduction of custom arenas and allowing you to pick your team it has become an issue and the people that attend the sotg don’t address this because they are the ones abusing this. Before you was unable to pick your team but you could swap, which was effective but not too game breaking, but swapping only worked every now and then (have to pay very close attention to it) and it made it so you couldn’t start out the game as powerful newbie killing force.
Last thing before I go on rant, 10 v 10 games aren’t good as a 8v8 game when it comes to points… You don’t want to be in a 10v10 battle, you want your battles to be something like 6v2 6v3, 6v1, you want the edge, in 10v10 hardly anyone dies but in 8v8 game if you got newb running into 6 people, that’s 15 free points for you, keep em coming. oh and if you don’t win your games you wont get full points, as you can see in img 1 and 2, if I won game with 591 points I’d gotten a heck of a lot of rank points from that, I only notice this when you go past the rank point cap, so if you don’t get 300 or so rank point per game, don’t worry about winning so much.
Now I could do this all day long and get rank 80 when the first massive group of people get rank 80, but I just don’t see the point in it anymore, rank 50 is the last good set of armor and the armor past rank 50 just doesn’t please me, theres no real point to being a rank 80 especially when a bunch of other people will be rank 80 along with you due to how easy it is to obtain, the only thing that takes effort is spending time doing so.
I haven’t played this game in awhile, its just not that competitive, sure I’m not the best but you cant tell if I’m good or not, the ladder is terrible, put from pve don’t even know or care about how great you are because everyone is running around with champ titles and those be top 5 in leaderboard and such titles are beyond lame, theres so many titles out there just having a title doesn’t even feel that important anymore because they just hand them out to everyone.
The tournament system in this game is a joke, as well the one in GW1 was better, just being able to see 8 different teams in a game and then being notified that such and such has won all those games, that’s how a tournament should be. There should be a massive tournament and you should be able to view how its going and how bad teams have beaten each other and etc. You should have massive tournaments regardless if they are real cash tournaments and what not. There should be one once a week or everyday at certain time.
Due to bad tournament system it forces tournament players to hotjoins. I don’t think tournaments should offer more rewards, it should just be more competitive and more fame worthy where people can take note of your winnings in game (im not talking about your win/loss record im talking about current games going on right now). Should have some kind of announcement thing before matches too, I feel the team names are shown too quickly, it should also announce win streaks before match to make the other team get hyped up or something because they about to face a 50 win streak team or so.
