2: fuck people watching casts, right? We don't want exciting games, they are just so troublesome, tf2 will surely get more popular this way

[...]Please enlighten me as to how golden caps are so great. Oh knowledgeable savior of TF2. Seriously though golden caps and the point distribution is fucking stupid.

[...] Not sure if that matters a whole lot tbh; playing different opponents on different maps weighs much heavier in terms of score 'randomness' (ie you can lose a map to a "weaker" team just because they are better on that particular map). The only way to straighten that out is to play every opponent on every map, but for obvious reasons that's not entirely feasible.. Just as a minor sidenote/poll; what if a match score was based on the amount of round wins? ie a 3-1 win gets you more points than a 3-2 win. I know this has been discussed before and wasn't favoured much at all, but I just wanted to roll the ball and see where it goes :)

It could potentially bring out very stalematey matches if teams are more interested in not dropping points than winning points. EDIT: could work on koth though]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=27790&post=481356 Mon, 30 Dec 2013 17:15:58 +0100 Reply by Spike Himself https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-27790/page-3/?recent=481422#post=481346 Quoted from Admirable

Even within the spectrum of 5CP maps can you say that 1 round on Badlands is equal to 1 round on Granary?

tl;dr No draws because maps are not equal. A map win should be the only way to earn points in ETF2L.

[...]Not at all. An entire game could be so fucking close and end on a draw. It being a draw doesn't mean the game was slow and boring at all.

I'd like a straight wins/losses score system, but at this point who really cares. Ditch the 10 min holding mid rule. That shit is so bad.

Agreed. Cannot you not make it just be a draw of 1-1 if no one wins the golden cap after 10 minutes. That missing point from maps makes it so that both teams dont win, but rather; they both lose and give motivation to stop middle hugging.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=27790&post=481280 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 14:03:21 +0100
