Based on this season if we had it in play it would look something like this. The rankings would be based on the the player profiles and ratings. The top team would be 0 and add 5 rest of the way down.

Sonichu =0
Infamous = 5
The Leftovers =10
Black Spades = 15
Mara Salvatrucha = 20
Blessed from Behind =25

So then you just subtract the higher ranks from the lower rank and that is the handicap.

For instance if Blessed from Behind played Sonichu the score would start 25-0 for Bfb

If Black Spades played Infamous the score would start 10-0 for BF and so on and so on. This probably wouldn't change the outcome of any games but it would give the lower tier squads a fighting chance. If two teams was similar in players etc you could give them same score.


I am sure this is probably a dumb idea but I am half asleep so it sounds good in my head right now...

It's not dumb lyric it's definitely constructive. I would be open to trying it out. Although I think the issue comes from squads that are equal. Sonichu and Infamous are close in skill (or can be) and one can argue that an early lead is huge and can change the outcome of the end game. But I mean you could try it in some scrims.

if anything this could open up the strategy where a squad with high handicap points can just keep running marathon around the map while sending out scouts to keep tab on where the enemies are. Made for great trolling and drama. Just the kind of thing we need to finally bring infantry into esport heaven or just filling the forum with controversies.

buddies play with buddies, just get better or find another game ;p

Jared off the top rope

Could look like this depending on how the squads layout.

1.0
2.0
3.10
4.10
5.25
6.25

And create a +/- in it so to stop camping the opposing team has to surpass there handicap in deaths before it takes effect.

So if 1 was facing the 6th place team it would be the 6th place team would have to be loosing by 25> before handicap would take effect.

in this scenario above if 2 was facing 4 . the 4th seed team would need to be loosing by 10 before handicap would come in .

Etc.

The other safeguard to camping is shortening the T-Timer.

We are just making sausage here just throwing some ingredients in.

I tried playing with downs this season, it made me troll after 10mins.

Seems like you guys went down this path before... maybe a few times... I think we made some suggestions at one point to give slightly stronger weapons and some armor / added HP to teams that were clearly over-matched to try to make it more interesting. Kind of like how the NBA refs creatively call fouls to keep it close...
