I like hysteria, but in the format that is played in public games - without a telecow, and also when I played in the group round
Please answer this question:
Why do you like Hysteria? What is it about the scheme that you enjoy?
Telecow is a sneaky move that has no justification.
And only the player himself chooses whether to do so or not.
I will never play using telecow. This is a sneaky move.
How is it a sneaky move?
Sorry if this comes across as rude, this is a genuine question... Do you even know what the word "sneaky" means??
It appears to me that you don't understand what that means... Because that word implies stealth/deceit! Which is ridiculous... We are not using invisibility here or even hiding the fact that we pile.
You are aware it can happen, and when it happens it's obvious what the intention is. So using the word sneaky is ridiculous not to mention literally wrong.
In fact, everybody KNOWS, or SHOULD know and should accept that piling/sacrificing worms is a FUNDAMENTAL part of the entire Worms franchise, let alone Worms Armageddon.
Now, back to your "sneaky" comment... How is it stealth, or deceitful when you know it is a fundamental part of the game and players use this strategy on a daily basis??
I compare this level of ignorance to kicking a lion in the balls and beiung surprised when it attacks you and rips your face off!
If piling was illegal, this entire game would be pointlessly unbalanced for pretty much all strategical battle schemes that have multiple worms.
Why don't you complain about piling in Intermediate, Kaos, Team17, Elite etc? It serves the exact same purpose!
So not only is it a ridiculous notion to hate Hysteria because of piling, you're singling out one individual scheme for your own selfish and delusional desires.
Even if many will be quitters, it is easier to understand than when they cheat in cups
Who is cheating in Cups?
But, I understand the people that complain about the Teleporting/jet packing tactic. If the idea is to play Hysteria with full focus on artillery, that trick is not so interesting for gameplay.
Surely you mean piling tactic? As even those who like playing without piling still use teleport and jetpacks.
Hysteria is an artillery/strategy hybrid. It is not 100% artillery. If you want 100% artillery, then play BnG and stop moaning about something which has been designed perfectly just because you get annoyed at being piled and cannot accept that fundamental strategy of the entire franchise and pretty much all turned based gaming like this.
Also, when I say "you", that implies everyone who feels that way about piling.
Next you're going to tell me that sacrificing pawns in Chess is lame... Are you going to call Magnus Carlsen a cow???
Worm rotation manipulation will always be an issue for some people. Accept this.
It's one thing to not like it, I couldn't care less if people don't like it, that's a personal choice.
It's when they blatently lie and say things which are literally not true that bothers me.
Calling it "cheating", "sneaky", stuff like that, it's riduculous and those people need to be put in their place.
