I agree with most of what u said random00, but not all. i dont agree with bo3 for each scheme in playoffs. The current system is fair and option 2 isnt much different from option 1.

Lets say me vs you in playoffs and you have first pick.

If someone picks roper.
I pick shopper
someone picks ttrr.

Now 3 rope schemes have been used and no more can be used. The reminding games MUST be default schemes. wxw can't be used now. But i may not win the shopper and i could easly lose that set 0-3.

Thats why if im picking 2nd i may wanna risk using shopper to use up all the rope based schemes, or i may wanna pick my best schemes so hope i can stay in the tie. I think its my fault if i lose and it doesnt matter if it has to be 2, rope, then 2 default. The order is kinda pointless as it was my choice to make it 3 rope schemes in a row i guess.

If anyone could pick anything it sucks because the 4th scheme you may pick wxw. Its an allround league. You need some defaults in there. Thats why no more than 3 rope based schemes and order of schemes is irrelveant seems like most simple rule to me.



I agree about the seeding of playoffs... 1st and 2nd overall should not meet in the semi finals.

Can reply to other stuff later.

[...] can u imagine the time  a bo3 PO game with 2 equal skilled players where 3-2 is the score will take? Like bng-bng-bng, t17-t17-17, roper-roper-roper, hysteria-hysteria-hysteria then a wxw-wxw-wxw 2 decide it all? [...]

Ah right, I just didnt think of this. Worst case scenario for someone winning the Singe Playoffs would be 3 sets of matches with 5 different schemes and 3 matches in every scheme, which would be 3*5*3 = 45 games to win the playoffs, which is way too much if you need 80 games for the season.
Guess it should stay as it is then

So it should also be max. 3 defaults. And I agree that the order of the schemes is irrelevant.

Random worm order in hysteria buggs me, because almost all my worms have very bad spots sometime.. -_-

Random worm order doesn't make turn order abuse impossible, it just makes it harder I don't think having less HP should be an advantage and turn order abuse is too easy to use with the current settings.

I'd also say 10 seconds SD time is a bit too much. By now, everybody's used to hysteria and losing a turn should be quite rare. But sometimes, triggering SD can be a good strategy and giving your opponent 10(!) free shots at you is a bit much.
Also, take into account that hysteria was never meant to be a 1v1 scheme when it was made by Run The 10 second SD time was implemented for games with 4-6 people ffa games.
