Seems like i constantly have to repeat myself in this discussion: I have never insisted that elo is a direct reflection of your actual mechanical skill, theoretical knowledge, awareness and communicative skills. the player base is simply too small f…
-
Elo is the "ranking by tier" you are talking about. And if they cannot live up to being "first pick" they lose elo. Finally elo is a system where you have to live up to your own skill, and not make up for others lack thereof.

@Nordic Standart deviation is only a concern with the current system. In a captains method, where its pressure to perform to your own skill level, rather than make up for o…
-
@Nordic Adamant? It has never been my intention to have immobile openions - I do find that letting go of them whenever they mean any resistance at all isn't viable. Instead…
-
Agreed, aeglos - however, no method I've ever witnessed works with greater variance in skill - elo in a small player base where people dont fight their peers usually turn out to what is happening here in ns2 (wrong discussion for this subject, I kno…

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality....

Armor level is directly visible to the alien commander, if he targets one of the marines. Aliens can also use a board like below to notice the difference - this is without any medpacks.
A0: 2 bites + 1 parasite OR 3 bites
A1: 3 Bit… -
Aliens should use teamwork - Its super effective.
Besides - People seem to know alot more about how to play together as marines than playing together as aliens. -
One way that you can be lucky to deal with grind gates is running through the gate, and jumping just as you pass through it. I've had succes with this on pubs as well as premier division scrims. Its hard, but it is possible, unless or similarely tal…

TBH, even gathers (ensl.org), are mostly just highskilled players with the mindset of pubber, who at times feel like they should listen to a call. Really, the only time where you really have teams who know the basics and play with the basics is the …

I agree with crazy
Elo is CSGO has always been quite a mystery as it has always been behind closed doors. The community has figured out something that it counts in for sure (like MVP stars), but it has never been confirmed or denied by V… -
csgo have had major hitreg problems too, which only recently were fixed when they found out how to replicate them

Went throught your whole avatar gif - worth it

Even though its not a competitive map, i still want to give a warning about a frustration every players can experience - lifeforms hiding where you cannot shoot them. Please, do make sure that marines have a way to clean out aliens from below that b…

Then why get it as an additional thing? If you are to add something, dont add it at the bottom of the priority/wish list - It wont be tested out as well, and will never see real play. Exos was a nice addition, but it doesnt really play to the marine…
-
No - for the very same reason the commander never will recycle the RT. P-res.
-
Turn it around santa - You as a lone skulk finally get through the enemy lines after 4 tries, and now you are finally through. You start biting aaaand its electrified. How BS is that? Now you are getting punished for trying to "anti-snowball".

Those "veteran" players you talk about sound like some of the all aim, no brain kind of players. There are many of those. Eclipse sucks, nothing about that is balanced, so try not to think about that map. Veil, Tram and biodome are… -
I like the idea - its cool, new and nice. I dislike what it will mean. Marines need to learn to play the game - defending RTs are part of it. This feature will alter the combat around restowers considerably; its argueably already wellbalanced. Marin…
-
An experienced commander can easily start a recycle of a gate, to make sure marines go to a specific gate, and cancel the recycle before it finishes. If you have more than 3 PGs, youre doing something wrong. As has been suggested before, a reversal …

I like the feature - makes biting mines a bit easier ^^ Keep working crazy, best mod since ns2+!

I find that part of the colourswitching/bite aid happens outside the cone, and also reaches further if you look at stuff sideways (45 degree angle). Its nothing serious at all, but its there

Lets get crit chance on headshots into the game too while we are at it. Medpacks should also have an RNG where you can get invincible for 10 seconds, because rookies would love that. Also a chance to instantly egg into a lifeform if you gorge on top…

Good enough for me - SUBSCRIBED!

Does this count as an unfair advantage/hacking? Because It seems extreemely neat, and I dont know x)
-
I did not know increased skulk HP had been tried in the past. Only ever experienced increased skulk HP in ns2 combat which was a natural disaster. I guess this is where we disagree - where you see a need of additional balancing, I see a need for L2P…

I only play public (TS wont work since i reinstalled my computer, and I am not on any team), and I have played it alot recently. I stayed for several games (on both biodome, tram and decent), but this was the one I decided to highlight. The exo chan…

Given the same kind of response that i gave, i suspect the same kind of ignorance that I portrayed so well is alive elsewhere. Let me elaborate.
Having played on a server with it, and talking to people running the server, they were kind … -
Ive played with it and the mod works without any technical problem. Gameplay is another matter, which it completely ruins. Dont nerf and buff at your leasure to make up for lack of good, rewarding plays. 2 RTs for aliens means ~2:25 lerktimer, where…

KDR influenced please, not based upon. CSGO does it right. You actually gain/lose less ELO from getting MVP stars, depending on wins and loses. But then again - the pro CSGO players, doesn't count global elite players for anything - doesnt actually …
