Post by: Free on February 09, 2013, 08:41 PM
How the f@#! you guys dont realize that Hyst is the most bullshit scheme default league has ever seen?

We have Aerial, do something about this already. Its not even worth of discussion. Jesus f@#!ing christ.

Worst thing to happen to competitive worming.

No scheme is as f@#!ed up as hyst is as competitive scheme.

Free, repeat after me: "TUS anyone? I will only play if you don't pick hysteria."
Agree before the game, though. Probably best to do it in the game lobby, so then at least you have a log to show for.

shopper, roper, t17, bng and any other, is classic schemes, have more than 10 years old, hysteria is a f@#!ing stupid scheme that born some 3 or 4 years ago.

I agree with free.

as mastermind and important promotor of this game u really should sound a bit more professional ;D

when it comes to aerial, dont you think this scheme would need some hardcore tweaks if you want to add it into classic? come on lol, random placements and only 1 teleport and also highly luck based with crates who can decide a game coming out of nothing., hardcore boom weapons availlable at second turn.
i would rather go for 3 sec scheme of coste. way more options to come back if your start positions is kinda f@#!ed. and also more weapons u need to handle.

Yeah aerial or 3s to hyst. Currently hysteria is the most f@#!ed up thing I have witnessed in competitive worming.

Yes I am proud to promote WA, but who the f@#! wants to watch some side zooking bullshit scheme where killing ur own worms/dying is most often useful.

Wake the f@#! up.

I know, its never too late to wake up though. 3s can be just as popular and actually serve us competitive players. Scheme has potential but at its current state its such bullshit.

D1 its not just about TUS anyone if not hyst, because it can be forced to be played on PO

I agree, kick hysteria, it has never used to be classic scheme (it didn't exist, but still)

And no aerial (what??), I have never played this shit. Just remove hysteria and back to classic schemes as it used to be for years. Hysteria is funny scheme but only in funners, in league it's lucky and irritiating scheme, have you noticed that hysteria always pick weaker player? Why? Because it's lucky scheme, no skill.

It's always the same story, one worm is dead, then telecow, then reapeat and there stay 2 worms on area and shots for 10 minutes. IT'S BORING.

Same was with intermadiate, another brilliant idea by tus, but it was bad decision and now it's again in free (and it should stay there), now it's time to move hysteria.

Hyst sux but saying Hyst makes noobs win is the worst way to ask for delete it lol and will always be an invalid argument, try playing against some good wormers...
Maciej explain how is it noob and luck scheme?
I bet the most of you Hyst haters can't do a Jet + LG + Fly + FirePunch, or even a Jet + LG + Zook, then you start to blame the scheme because you are slower lol, learn it.

edit: btw if delete hyst, I don't care, but league activity will decrease.

Its not smart to talk like that as a promoter. I know you're not a douche, Free. If you delete Hysteria from classic league, general activity will decrease. You know that Hysteria is a good scheme to get in touch with worms, like Shopper. Beginners dont get warm with "pro schemes" so Hysteria can open the way for many newcomers.

Hysteria helps community growing! :)

well, I don't remember if I have ever done jet+lg+fly+fp, probably not, but that's because I don't play this scheme, I find it noobish and lucky. Why lucky? And why don't many players pick ttrr against me or you but hysteria? Because in schemes like ttrr, bng or elite you need real skill, any guess player can't beat skilled player even by accident. In hysteria everything's possible. That's idiotic scheme inwhich you kill yourself worms because of 'tactic'... In elite it happens once at thousand. In hysteria always.
And I don't need these all combinated tricks you meantioned, I could learn them but it's not needed. Everything is decides by 2 last worms which stay at the end and when we throw petrols.

I used to like playing hysteria, but only as funner.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Kaleu on February 09, 2013, 11:20 PM
So you saying throwing a nade/zook or activate jet and drop something else in 1 second is skill less? lol  What's the problem if the scheme is always the same tactic? In TTRR always the objective is finish and so wxw the objective is hit all the walls, why repeating hysteria tactic is boring than knocking walls everytime in WxW isn't? Bad excuse man lol...
Hysteria also need real skill using the weapons if you miss turn order or fail a turn you can lose... I really can't get you, hysteria haters, always with poor excuses.

No Sniper, if you get skill in ttrr you win, but if you get skill in hysteria (that's uber mega pro jp-lg-fly-fp), you still can lose against me near 50% of the games....

Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Impossible on February 10, 2013, 12:38 AM
when I get on hysteria deeper, I understand that all that going before last minutes of hysteria games is uberpointless, you can suicide, attack your own worms, just skip turns.. its almost doesnt affect final result, but then, 1v1 worm or 2v1 starts, and game become pretty intresting, alot of tactical moves, fighting for hides, nade/zook skills, every hp is important.
There is feeling on W:A in scheme such as elite, kaos, t17, bng, when you feel how hard to play versus top players, you cant do anything, all worms is stuck and you are out of ideas, while with newcomers you feel yourself comfortable and doing whatever you want. There is no such thing on inter or roper but its on touch in hyst

Lol, same thing happen with roper, elite, and others schemes in general, don't you feel like saying "OMG this really SUX" when someone top hide at roper, or kill his partner in 2v2 only to pile you? Every scheme has its weakness, the problem is that Hysteria is a new scheme, and you don't wanna learn it... But I will not post here anymore, I know this will end in a closed topic with a discussion about nothing.  :C

The scheme has been pretty much accepted since 2007/2008 as a ground scheme in leagues, why change it now six years later? I'm not a fan of the scheme and from time to time when playing I can't help myself wishing that Run was hit by a car the day before he created it. But SPW makes some good points, removing the scheme would not benefit the community and is more lead by personal preferences imo

I consider adding hysteria same as pre-ejaculating when finally banging the hottie you always wanted. Scheme has true potential but currently there is so many flaws it is RIDICILOUS. It was added way too fast without true community opinion, beginners wanted it, nobody listened to the competitive players. 1 second is just too little and the facts that you can kill ur own worms and do all kinds of pointless shit every single game and actually even get an advantage of it aint an seriously taken competitive scheme, it just aint.

Only valid reason I hear is that "community will decrease", how can you even say that if you dont first even try to see what happens if you remove/modify hysteria so it would actually be a reasonable competitive scheme. Yes, most schemes has its "flaws", but none has as many an hysteria does. Just add 3s time and tadaa, you got yourself an competitive and balanced scheme. Hell, even 2s would improve some flaws. I'm pretty confident the beginner community would not run away pissed off as we "destroyed" their favourite scheme.

It's already been said a hundred times but nobody ever listens. :D The scheme is too popular among lesser skilled players so MI doesn't want to remove it.


Nobody listens because it's just an opinion, it isn't a fact.

Lesser skilled players? You couldn't beat the top Hysteria players in a best of even if you trained for a month, and you are a VERY experienced/skilled BnG player, and all-round.

It's one of my preferred schemes ever for WA because I see it as one of the fairest and most balanced schemes i've ever played.

I find it amusing how most people who complain about Hysteria are rubbish at doing anything within 1 second.


And put it this way, if they removed Hysteria, i'd probably quit playing TuS for good, this isn't a threat, no one cares and I don't expect anyone to, it's just an example of how serious I take Hysteria and how strongly I feel.

I would also wish TuS died forever as well, in fact, if I had hacking skills I feel so strongly against removing Hysteria i'd probably try and hack TuS myself as some sort of attempt at revenge, I am not joking.

Im ready to take up the hysteria challenge, I'll give 1-2 weeks full attention to Hyst and well see how "well" I match against any Top Hysteria player in bo9, if I get even close to 50% win ratio, hysteria gets modified?

Main reason (in my mind) is simply that people cant be arsed to play those "most useful" hysteria tactics because they are boring as f@#!.

I will only accept this challenge (because I dislike hysteria as it is and do not find it enjoyable) if MI agrees to do something with Hysteria in default league if my win ratio is lr.et's say over 40% in bo9 against anyone you consider as top player.

Agreed. Take it off from the league already. But don't replace it with something else, just remove it.

Make it suitable for Free League, so new comers can keep playing it there.

Surely if they want to get to play the real league they will have to pay the price of learning the real schemes. This way the classic league don't get f@#!ed up with hysteria.

Seriously, having such scheme in the classic league is a joke.
I personally have no respect for those who have a good rating in hyst, since it's not a good reference of skill.

...but who the f@#! wants to watch some side zooking bullshit scheme where killing ur own worms/dying is most often useful.

Post by: Free on February 10, 2013, 12:18 PM
Enough with the off-topic, it's TIME to do something with this.

Darkz doesn't have time, Komito is over-reacting as usual, lame but effective hysteria tactics doesn't take month to learn.

I'm ready to take up the challenge, 1-2 weeks is enough for me. I've seen enough hysteria games to know what's the effective tactics in what kind of starting positions and either start piling with worm advantage while trying and/or take control of the sides and shoot lame ass zooks for 30 minutes unless someone forces SD, then pray for god. Just watch yesterdays PO final hysteria. cFc has his "kaleu" the top hysteria player and the game ends on SD after really f@#!ing boring side zooking war after water was too high and Statik missed the last critical shot.

TOP LEVEL GAMING and it ends like any other lame ass hysteria if you just have the patience to play the "effective" way, which most population doesn't have.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: HHC on February 10, 2013, 12:21 PM
I like things the way they are. Hyst in classic cause most popular. Aerial in HAL and Free cause still popular, but perhaps not the same re-play value.

Randomsteria isnt a solution either IMO. It fixes the telecow issue somewhat, but in return introduces the element of sheer luck.

I don't think you can effectively tackle the telecow and side-hide issue without seriously violating the scheme. So you'll just have to put up with it.

And boys, sup with the drama already? Komo threatening to hack TUS, Crazy wanting to throw people in front of cars, lol, sup! Rage issues? Saunatime with Free!

Think how competitively played hysteria looks to the outsiders eyes, would he ever want to play a game where he thinks he would die of boredom?

"Hey eSport crew, check out what we have to offer, a game that we consider to be one of the greatest ever when it comes to gameplay and skill, look at what we play in our competitive league" Then they watch us killing ourselves and 1v1 sidezooking until SD comes and other player hits first.

f@#!ing awesome.

Post by: HHC on February 10, 2013, 02:04 PM
maybe, but IMO both games resolved entirely on questionable tactics.

First game you plop your 80 worm right away which puts me in a horrible position.
Then it's off to hiding on sides. Then I just start teleing across the map to force SD, so it all comes down to 1 shot.
2nd game same shit. I'm in a real nice lead until you start telecowing the f@#! out of me.

You were the right winner though, you played really well.
But it's the question whether a decent scheme should approve of first turn suicides to get an advantage or telecowing in general.

It's still against my heart to sacrifice full HP worms. And I'm afraid that's what the scheme is becoming once it's played on top level.

Your and che's approach are really awful in that respect. I guess the rest of the community needs to stoop down to your level to make the balance even.
Placing your worms together makes up for some reasonable counter tactic, but in the 2nd game i had 3 full power worms vs 1 full HP and one 20-HP. And I still get owned in that telecow-fight even though my worms were put as close together as possible. It just sucks.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Chelsea on February 10, 2013, 02:11 PM
Hmm :D

1st game -> I plooped my 80 hp worm coz bad position and 3 other worms had good positions, you should ploop 1 your worm too and play 3 vs 3 :P

2nd game -> u killed your worm xD (1stly by bad nade and later special fly ti mine), so I plooped my 80 hp :P
later u had vn nade and I wanted kill 2 my worms but missed xD and played 2 vs 3 xD

later u played really well.... xD Till you go too much right xd and my teledie 2/2 hp and ploop you gg xDD

Post by: HHC on February 10, 2013, 02:18 PM
So sacrificing 80hp worms is the way to go.

Btw, this works in shopper too, plop your very first worm and you can pile all game. => 90% chance at win.

5 pages in less than 24 hours? :D

I had very negative opinion about hysteria when I started playing again few months ago.
I found out its the easiest scheme to learn in the classic league, indeed (yet I had no desire of learning it).
Since then I softened my heart just a little, enough to accept it as a funny scheme. Perfect for free league or even a separate league since it is so popular (HAL).

I'd really like to see that 2-weeks or 1-month challenge going and see how good could someone motivated become during that short period of time.
And if it doesnt turn out as expected I'd gladly accept hyst in the classic league once for good and start learning myself.

Post by: Free on February 10, 2013, 03:01 PM
I remember some games where I start to plop my worms in 1st turn cos bad position and so did opponent and then its was just 1v1, didn't bother to side zooking cos would die of boredom but the scheme needs tweaking, its just horrible. I cant believe some of you cant see how broken it is.

@HHC and Chelsea. Dont hate the player, hate the game (scheme).

Same as notching, no need to blame notching players because they use the game engine to most effective way possible. Franz suggested /teststuff to disable notching, but the rule needs to be forced first.

Same as Hysteria seriously needs to be fixed. Huge mistake by adding it way too fast as a default league scheme.

You could also reply to the topic in hand instead just this post.

I see no first turn ploppage, there was damage done before any worms were plopped and Phanton missed a crucial attack + kill, otherwise it was pretty even game. Definately no 90%

If it's so big of an advantage to plop ur first worm to get advantage, why dont people do it all the time in shoppas?

Also I'd like to add that hiding smartly (for example on edges when you try to pile, it might leave enough distance to un-pile) also removes some of the piling advantage. I wish I had one rope clanner replay when I was in bOr and we were in bad 2v1 situation with opponent having worm advantage and we hid on edges so when opponent tried to pile, he was forced to fall down and that left us distance to un-pile. We ultimately won the game because of that smart hiding tactic.

If you read the actual thread, it says "Ban" but I also dont want the general activity to go down because Hysteria gets totally removed, but I'd want to either ban it totally or tweak it to make a scheme which aint so effin stupid and boring and lame and totally not competitive.

If hyst wasn't competitive, Casso wouldn't be dominating it. Simple as that. You can argue all you want about the type of play. I don't like competitive hysteria as its played, but it it's a fact that it is competitive. Until you inderstand that, Free, there's no point talking to you.

Remember that bad intermediate players also consider intermediate to be very dependant on luck and you know that that's bullshit.

Dont't even think for a second that no game has lame flaws like this, just look at spawnkilling in shooters. Having a rant isn't going to change anything. Change happens because good ideas are put in place and enough people want it. Calling people who like hysteria noobs is only making it less likely to get anything changed and it doesn't make mods eager to help you either.

Wow, let's keep more off-topic coming. I got your idea, you probably didn't get mine. My argument for someone dominating is because most of competitive players just can't be arsed to use the boring, but effective tactics needed in hysteria. That holds true especially on my part. But if the challenge takes on, I can work on my patience to hopefully make something happen. Why the f@#! is change so hard in TUS? Also, could someone grab the threads/poll where Hysteria was voted as default league scheme? I don't remember coming across anything like this and was like what the f@#! when I saw it added.

Could I please get the MI approval for the challenge, in my opinion it would prove enough. We've had enough threads of Hysteria already, yet, nothing has changed even though there is great opposition also. Enough talk, more action.

Funny one Pejinho, but I actually agree that elite should have ropeknocks. And I am not the most beast (consistent) elite player around anymore anyways so you should challenge Crashito, Mablak or Random.. perhaps I'd add franz to that list also.

The whole challenge thing came to my mind after Komito over-dramatised that darkz cant hang with top hysteria players even if he practised it full-time for a month. Talking about changing Hysteria has led NOWHERE in these years, I just want to show that how f@#!ing boring and lame the scheme is when its being played most effective way possible, which still would be a major luckfest.

Theres many very oldschoolers who know a good scheme fast when they see one, and from what I gather most of the very oldschool dont agree that Hysteria belongs to a default league as it is.

No its not just because I'm not getting my way around here. I'm not the only one who thinks like this when it comes to balancing schemes, you should play more and get in touch what pisses people off in top competitive level of gaming on some schemes.

Wasn't classic league supposed to be the league where the best player stands on top? I don't see how Hysteria contributes in finding out who's the best overall player. It's a scheme someone who's decent at other schemes can learn in just a few days, maybe even hours. Try learning TTRR or Elite, it'll take you months or maybe even years to play these schemes at the highest possible competitive level. These schemes have the right to exist in classic league, Hysteria certainly doesn't.
Where's the problem in just moving it to a different league? Aren't we all happy then?

I do not agree with you.

Hysteria requires months of practice too... Just use right tactic and you will never lose vs new players.. Actually it's need years for bng skills..

and ofc.. we can discuss about other schemes too why they shouldn't be in league and what changes we can make in their own schemes. I heard tons of comments about how roper, t17... is only about luck.. but it's not 100% sure ofc.

You're all making it sound like if a "noob" beats a "pro" at hysteria, then the noob doesn't deserve it. I think that's very arrogant, to say the least. I have actually played hysteria for competition (cups, tourneys, but by no means less valid then TUS single) and I have seen the same things you are frustrated about. Don't pretend I don't have a clue, Free.

This is in fact the reason I came up with randomsteria and have hosted several cups with that scheme. I don't tell people what to do, I just do stuff. People respond to that.
HHC wanted a new scheme and he made aerial. He hosted a couple of cups, listened to the responses, changed the scheme, hosted some more cups, and now we have HAL.
Bloopy and Lyndon came up with bungeerace, made a couple of maps and just hosted games. They did stuff, and it's still played today.
Hysteria is still alive today, because Run put some effort in getting the game out, a couple of other people hosted tourneys and you know the rest.

I'm not saying this to pat them on the back (though I highly appreciate their contributions, regardless of the outcome), I'm just telling you what gets things done.

In short: DO something. Create an alternative or use an already existing one, host cups or tourneys, host funners, ask orange to stream some of those games while you play and commentate, see where it goes and stop talking and telling other people what to do. I know how ironic that sounds, but I have done and still do a lot of stuff for worms, so I know what I'm talking about  :P

You were referring to how I was implying that TUS doesn't make changes, which was already wrong. I was only saying TUS doesn't do much when it comes to balancing the schemes as we are talking in hysteria thread.

You also missed the point of my message, I didn't say you don't have enough knowledge about Hysteria (I mean cmon, its not that hard scheme to "get", that's why I threw out my 1-2 week challenge") but the discussion was about how hard it is to make a scheme more balanced in TUS and how you should play more, and in the top level so you actually see how the top players feel about certain things in certain schemes.

Incase you don't see it, I AM doing something, I'm trying to prove with my challenge that Hysteria as it is, doesn't belong to Classic league. I'm just f@#!ing tired of all this talking and nothing happening when it comes to Hysteria, I mean c'mon, the "vote" to add hysteria was from 08 with 14-11 with very little discussion, a BIG add to list of classic schemes that have been around forever.

What does stats have to do with scheme being flawed?

Yes I'm being sour, just take a look at the thread that darkz posted where Hysteria was voted as classic scheme. Half of the posts were flame and even SPW (seems to be considered one of the top hysteria players) agreed it shouldn't be in classic league. It was added way too fast without proper community opinion and discussion.

"Classic is working fine", no it's not, just check the multiple threads we have about schemes in general and about balancing them.

If people dislike Aerial but like Hyst, just give them their hysteria league, It's probably what the majority wants anyway, play their hysterias without getting owned in proper skilled schemes because of both players get to pick 1 scheme.

What the hell do you suggest? Replace aerial to hyst ? i hate aerial more than hyst... imo, not hyst, not aerial cant be in league

I feel the same, I hate every single attempt anyone has ever made at replacing Hysteria.

you should play more and get in touch what pisses people off in top competitive level of gaming on some schemes.

*sigh*


But that's working against the whole concept of competition.

Wasn't classic league supposed to be the league where the best player stands on top? I don't see how Hysteria contributes in finding out who's the best overall player. It's a scheme someone who's decent at other schemes can learn in just a few days, maybe even hours. Try learning TTRR or Elite, it'll take you months or maybe even years to play these schemes at the highest possible competitive level. These schemes have the right to exist in classic league, Hysteria certainly doesn't.

Ok you guys are just simply annoying now, you guys don't like Hysteria in the same way I don't like TTRR/Shoppa/T17, I either don't have the time to become a top player in these schemes, or i'm just simply not good enough, at least I can accept it, you guys on the other hand are trying to ruin it for the players who DO like Hysteria.

Hysteria DOES deserve to be in the Classic League, every scheme that is in Classic right now balances out very very nicely imo.

If you had never played WA before in your life, all schemes in Classic would take as much time to become a top player as each other, it doesn't matter how long it takes to learn, it's about how long it takes to master and remain better than your opponents, the fact you people even say such a thing really makes me doubt your intelligence sometimes.

Like I said before, you (darKz) are, in my opinion, one of the best BnG players that ever lived, and you suck at Hysteria compared to the top players, and you have played Hysteria more than enough so that in your own words, you should own it by now, but you don't, cuz you can't accept the conditions the scheme offers, and you let it get to you, and you end up bitching and whining and wasting your time, because the fact is, Hysteria is in Classic to stay, it won't be removed, it's too competitive and popular.

I accept the fact i'll never compete with the best at TTRR/T17/Elite, and I don't care, because I love BnG/Hysteria/Roper and I am very good at those.

You all have schemes you guys are really good at, just live with it man...

And free, you are coming across as a bit childish right now, I know, i've been there, you really haven't said anything that helps your feelings towards Hysteria, in fact, you are just helping the people who want it to stay.


That, or change Hysteria to be 1 worms vs 1 worm. 

Random placement, DUH!

I umm.. suck at Hysteria? Yeah right. I'm 16-6 singles and 27-8 clanners at that piece of shit scheme. And that was all when I still had a mouse with a broken cable which stopped working randomly, which actually cost me/us some games (this can be confirmed by my clanmates if you think I'm making shit up). Come again. :D

There's not much to learn about the scheme really, if you took off your blindfold you would see that. You pile as needed, when it's 1vs1 or 1vs2 you teleport around, try to hit some shots, teleport some more, usually until one player gets bored/impatient and just goes all-in or forces sudden death, and then either win or lose the game in 1 shot. A scheme like that... but I already said that. :)

Won't even bother with Komo, ur just stating ur opinions and feelings, some of us actually here are trying to argue WHY Hysteria doesn't belong to classic scheme as it is. Btw, ur ridicilous by trying to compare how long it would take to master ttrr/elite compared to hysteria for someone who would just start WA. Years of learning compared to a month(s) even for someone who just starts WA for the first time.

Could I just get the f@#!ing approval for the challenge and I'll show you guys how easy its to become "f@#!ing great" in hysteria if you just bother with the lame, boring, but effective tactics Hyst forces you to use.

People are against hysteria only in tus classic. Personally I like hysteria and it was among my favourite schemes before I joined dt, but later I had to learn "tactics" (lol), and now all games have the same scenario. There are a lot of schemes in TUS Free league (and many old ones), but for some reason only hysteria became "classic".

Ok, you are trying to argue why it shouldn't be in Classic, where I am arguing why it should, what is the difference? What gives your opinions more value over mine?

What I said about what it takes to become a top player, is a fact, it is not an opinion, Casso etc wouldn't be so good at Hysteria if they hadn't spent years playing WA practising their BnG skills, it took ME years with alot of the time 16 hours a day @ BnG to become as good as I am, it took Mablak years to master TTRR, same with other top players in other schemes...

From someone who has never played WA before, it will take roughly the same time to become a top player for any chosen "speciality" scheme, whether it is Elite or Hysteria.

If you even try to argue against what I just said, I swear i'll probably die laughing...

Edit: Take the test and play against Casso 10 games, I will be surprised if you even win 1, the guy beat me like 8-1 in Hysteria, granted, I didn't play so well, but 8-1 and at the time I was dominating TRL:Hysteria by quite a large margin.

And yes, I will take the test but only if MI agrees to do something with the scheme, I won't bother with the discomfort otherwise. Learning to BnG and learning Hysteria is totally different thing when it comes to general bng skills, thats why beginners win pros in hysteria. Get some logic in ur head Komo.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Statik on February 11, 2013, 12:11 PM
Your logic is not clear here, Free. Beginners win pros? I think you compare uncomparable. For example, Chelsea is not a "pro" elite player, but he can easily win one in hyst, because hyst and elite are different schemes. BUT let's assume Chelsea plays vs Random00. Will Chelsea pick hysteria or elite? The answer is obvious, but does Chelsea has better bng skills, or better jp skills or better tactics? I doubt it. What makes Random00 and Chelsea's chances in hyst rather equal then? I dunno...

How the f@#! you guys dont realize that Hyst is the most bullshit scheme default league has ever seen?

We have Aerial, do something about this already. Its not even worth of discussion. Jesus f@#!ing christ.

Worst thing to happen to competitive worming.

Orly?  :D

Well, hyst is the most popular scheme in classic league since 15 seasons. Enough said i think. This league can only benefit from its existence if it also makes beginners play this league. I didn't use to like the scheme in the past too, but then i get more and more tired of the endless change requests, and the never ending "reduce luck in schemes" debates. Can't be that bad anyway if there's still so much activity in this 14 year old game.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: DarkOne on February 11, 2013, 12:45 PM
If hyst wasn't competitive, Casso wouldn't be dominating it. Simple as that. You can argue all you want about the type of play. I don't like competitive hysteria as its played, but it it's a fact that it is competitive. Until you inderstand that, Free, there's no point talking to you.
+
If people dislike Aerial but like Hyst, just give them their hysteria league, It's probably what the majority wants anyway, play their hysterias without getting owned in proper skilled schemes because of both players get to pick 1 scheme.
= we are done.

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2083/factsl.png)
This image is a fact. You can look it up yourself. Hysteria takes skills. Proper skills and if it didn't, we wouldn't have this high a percentage in wins. If it's just about killing yourself, their percentage could never get this high. You have to look at Komo in BnG and Random in shopper to get this high a winning percentage (or slightly higher).

I suggest you take up your own challenge just to see how poorly you would do against the good hysteria players.

I can't understand why in these all old leagues there was always standart classic league, while in TUS there are only changes. First of all added hysteria and intermediate (happily deleted quickly), then reduced girders in t17, and now I can hear about adding aerial (whatever it is) or other changes. Let's leave this alone. Classic league must be standart and can't be changing, or we can't call it CLASSIC league.

D1, you obviously didn't get the general message behind my idea, Random00 is one of the best overall players anyway so he doesn't get owned in proper skilled schemes. What I was trying to say that most of people that like hysteria (majority of beginners) would probably be more happy with just Hysteria league without getting owned by good all-rounders, your really f@#!ing the dot here D1. I took a quick look at maverick's played games also, mostly noob bashing.

The challenge is just to show that Hysteria really ain't as competitive scheme as you might think when you just have the patience to play the lame, but effective way. Darkz put it like I would put it, when I get bored enough, I try to go all-in. Dominating sides and keeping the worm advantage is pretty much what effective hysteria tactics boil down to until it goes to 1v1 and the map gets sliced from side zooking and/or sd is forced and here comes the 1-shot win.

I'm done with the talking because this is just like every other Hysteria thread, you want to keep the activity (let them have their own hysteria league) but forget about the opinions of competitive players who take this game seriously and are serious about balancing the schemes.

Also, doesn't anyone get the fact how prematurely this scheme was added as classic scheme?

And no, I won't take up the challenge just to annoy myself unless I will see benefit out of it.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Statik on February 11, 2013, 01:53 PM
Did Random practice hyst for ages? I guess he just uses his weapon skills + simple hyst tactic. Casso does perfect zook & nades shots mostly. This scheme didn't introduce anything new to the classic league, but it's easy to learn and fun, perfect for TUS free :D

Free, i don't know why you are trying so hard to ban this scheme while, especially with your worms promotional thing in mind, it should well be in your interest that there is a scheme which appeals to beginners, as it is easy to learn, hard to master. Also take in your consideration that, as i said, hyst is the most popular scheme since 15 saesons, take it away, and you will also take a way a lot of activity from the classic league, as there will be quite a few people mainly playing it due to the scheme. And the last, most important point is, is that noone will win the classic league based on picking only hysteria. The points system doesn't allow either scheme or noob bashing. So i don't quite see the problem. Not sure about the details of the point system, but i'm quite sure someone who's only good at hysteria and loses anything else will hardly make it into the top 20, if even that. So this system always favours the allround players.

Give them their own hysteria league, I think majority would be more happy with the decision, the beginners and the more serious competitive players also (yes, hello we are here too). Activity wouldn't downgrade.

I really wouldn't want to show a effectively played Hysteria game as promotional purposes to general audience.

Hehe, i gotta agree with that. The last hyst clanner i watched was just awful. :) But then, i also find bng games boring to watch, others will disagree. *shrug* All down to personal preference i guess, and one cannot deny that hysteria required its special tactics and strategies as well. The fact that those are considered lame as hell in other schemes doesn't matter.

Thank you for this paragraph, because with this paragraph alone, you contradict almost everything you've said so far in this thread, namely:

- it doesn't require skills to get good at this (clearly, Random needed skills, as you said)
- noobs pick hysteria to easily win against pros (clearly, they couldn't beat Maverick, as you said)

Your general idea is that you don't like chesteria (my term for killing your own worm at any and all turns you have available because che members used it a lot when I was playing them - sorry for che members who don't do this).
I don't like chesteria. As far as I'm concerned, it has killed what could have been a great scheme and I can tell you that this is not what Run had in mind when he made hysteria. This is why I made randomsteria and hosted cups for it (you know, DOING something, rather than just playing games, which is what you're proposing you do).
If you had actually read and understood my previous posts, you would have known this, but clearly, this is not the case.
But as much as I dislike chesteria, it currently is a part of hysteria and GOOD players know their way around it.
... until we get an alternative.

that's just one example of stupidness of this scheme. Easy ploped/killed  his 3 health worms to get advantage and telecow me each turn. Idiotic! You kill your worms to win a game. So tactic is who faster kill his worms to get advantage, if you call it tactic, I call you idiot. Where's fun? Where's fight?
Think for example about roper, would you accept clanner in which one of the player from team in his first turn just take crate and... surrender? Nothing against rules, same in hysteria, but in hysteria he doesn't have to surrender because plop is possible. For example I play clanner with less skilled roper because no more players online, and I say him to surrender, so we will get advantage. That's logical, but where's the spirit of the game?

but in all of these schemes 1 mistake can make you loser, similar in roper (but not always). If you are real good in t17 you can always try to tie a game (with 7 girders it's harder but still). In wxw important is rope skill, in shopper too if you play on cave, hard map, but using the weapons too, pilling. Of course luck can help you, and schemes like ttrr, bng or elite will be always more skill-needed, but it's not most important. In wxw or shopper you can fall near the barrel or on mine and it's drama, because you lose hp. In t17 you can plop yourself by incident (your mistake!) and it's drama because of lost hp.
     But in hysteria you are happy when you lose hp, when you lose worms, and you even kill them on purpose. You can make hundreds of mistake and you are still in the game! Sick! That's why I call it lucky scheme.

Post by: ANO on February 11, 2013, 02:57 PM

Sure it's not the super Pro scheme, only ttrr and bng and elite are, but also bng ( on depending the way is played by lamers etc can drive you crazy and angry!)
So, only ttrr can be considered a 100% league scheme and elite, really we want this?

As komo wrote before, try to beat Casso in 10-20 games, or someone else really good in this scheme. Will you call him Legendary Lucker? D come on!

And as others said in these topic, it's a more to allow beginners to play leagues.. or we want to play leagues only with our old asses and stop??? let's kids play, we almost have a family in this topic auhauh let's our sons play hysteria!

Maciej, I was talking you too.

I mean, you are admitting that hyst is a retard scheme which everyone can play, like mine madness or "Armageddon" at WO... you have just to press a button!!!
Seriously, I don't think this.

You need to pile and to shot not like a beginner if you want to win it. Maybe less number of molotov should be better, of course, maybe not sitter shots too...

Do you always play shoppa in the caves? D
artillery is also in hyst as in shoppa, ,,, if you can't use jp and do good shots and bad tactic you lose as in shoppa you do.
There is lucky? not, there is too much piling business, you can avoid it too.
Is it less serious then elite and ttrr and bng? Yes, I do f@#!ing agree with you!
Do i like to play? yes, I like it.
This makes me noob? I don't give a shit.
Are you scarred about loosing games against noobs because of hysteria? really???????????
and why?
Why you might lose easier hysteria vs noobs then shoppa (normal map, lucky weapons... and remember, not all the noobs who play leagues can't do a decent drop!!! and taking the crates in easy maps is easy, you can then lose a game against a noob without any problem in this case.)

So, comparing a noob in hyst vs a noob in shoppa?

This is an example of how hysteria can be awesome. You want that kind of game to disappear too.

https://www.tus-wa.com/cups/game-79128/ Second replay is one of the ugliest games I've ever played in hysteria, but at least it was short (and it ended with a nice turn that made his turn advantage tactics blow up in his face). Third replay, he did not get a chance to use chesteria at all.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Maciej on February 11, 2013, 03:30 PM
You still didn't counterarg my minds. In shopper one mistake can make you loser, same in every other scheme except hysteria. There are tricks in hsyteria like in every other scheme, but they are mostly useless, because if you don't hurt that worm using 'uber pro' lg+jp+fly+punch you will do in next round using nade. In hysteria you can make only mistakes and still win the game afterall by accident petrol. In shopper even crates won't help you if you fall into pile or near the barrel/mine. I have seen hysteria where one player lost his 3 worms in first round and still was in the game (ironically got advantage...)
I like hysteria too, but only as funner.
And another arg about roper, how would you feel with that tactic? I really don't want ppl start to play like this. And they do in hysteria.

 come on Darkone, you quote my opinnion but don't give any counterarg, that's sick.
And it's nt whining from my side but just talking, giving args, while you can give nothing against them.

I have seen hysteria where one player lost his 3 worms in first round and still was in the game (ironically got advantage...)

Then the player who didn't lose his worms made mistake after mistake after mistake in the rest of the game. The third replay against fenrys, he had 1 worm and I had 3. I won the game with all 3 worms remaining because I did not allow him to use turn advantage against me.

So again: no alternative given.

edit: also, you clearly have not watched the replays I linked you to, especially the third one against fenrys. I don't play a whole lot of hysteria, but still I managed to circumvent turn order abuse.

i remember a raw version of hysteria when lex? invented it back in the day.  it was a ton of fun, and for my first 5 turns or so i couldn't even figure out what the hell i was doing.  the one thing i wouldn't have ever thought in my wildest dreams is that the scheme had the capacity to be a league scheme.  I saw it as some bit scheme that was fun, but something i could never play competitively nor something that i could see myself continually playing.  Yet here we are, and that same made-up scheme has become a bona-fide league set.  It doesn't fit with any of the other league schemes.  If elite is the cadillac of worming, the strategic pinnacle; then hysteria is a beat up piece of shit car.  It's a fun scheme, but not for the thinking man.  Don't get me wrong, its fun.  But it still isn't a league scheme.  TUS can dress up hysteria all it wants in a disguise, but a turd wearing clothing is still a pizzasheet.

Free, the thread about Hysteria on TUS is way too old. You shouldn't look at it that way. Those times TUS had other problems like getting community's acceptance/approval. The leagues were so young and we were trying hard to deliver something to satisfy the majority of the community. Hysteria got fit in nicely while Intermediate got us into even more trouble. Some popular comments like "TUS is shit, they allow Intermediate!" or some point of views like this (https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/game-577/) game's chat.

A lot of threads about Hysteria got created since, but in my point of view, most started out of anger of losing. Hysteria is the most played scheme on TUS. Not one of the most, it is THE most played scheme. 17,191 single games as I type this. (followed by Roper 12,235 and TTRR 11,754, check seasons info for full statistics). Removing the most popular scheme from classic league is not that easy, even if you prove that the scheme is flawed.

Personally I don't think Hysteria is flawed. A flaw in a scheme is what makes the skill level lower, or allows noobs to beat pros more often. I fail to see such flaw in Hysteria. Our great Hysteria players (off the top of my head) are Gabriel, Casso, Random00. I don't think a noob could have ANY chance against these players.

I am really tired of engaging into scheme fights. We mostly like to argue theoretically. If someone is up for it and challenge one of top hysteria players and achieve like 40-50% winning percentages against these players, then I think it will open our eyes about how flawed this scheme is and helps us take further actions.

but you must agree with me, that hysteria is ONLY scheme in which you can do lots of mistakes and you are still in game, while in every other scheme, even in shopper, wxw or t17, 2-3 mistakes make you unable to win (of course if your opponent doesn't make them too)

You could always make a separate hysteria league and just remove hysteria from classic. How can't you see this might actually be the best solution to everybody? I still argue that the majority of TUS hysteria players just want to play hysteria.

And finally, after 3 pages of senseless theoretical bullshit you agree on the challenge? I will take up on it, 2 weeks and I will take on any of the top players, play 10 games, if I achieve over 40% you agree to remove it from classic or modify it? Such a simple modification as adding 1 or 2 seconds more time would already make the scheme less flawed and more exciting even if played utilizing most effective tactics.

And yes, an average hysteria player with even little understanding of piling tactics and side dominating is able to beat any top hysteria player. Not most of the time ofc.

Now, who accepts the challenge and we set a date from there for 2 weeks forward.

Also, as a boss of TUS you really shouldn't be "tired" of scheme fights, because that's what the competitive players want, if they think they see a flaw in the scheme that can be balanced, naturally they want it to be more balanced. I don't think that the correct way is to ask for majority opinion on such things (beginners and average players just don't see the flaws as deeply) but smarter way would be the set up an council with top competitive players and they make the decisions as they see fit.

I honestly don't understand you guys..with all these promotion and stuff.. I mean am I the only one to see that professional gamer would earn more money per hours by being cleaner ? Or that it is about 0.00001% of the gamers that earn enough money by playing to buy more than candies ? Or that it is only about marketing so they can sell more product and wa will never be like that (btw I don't mean to disrespect your work or anything but I personally just doubt it will have any huge impact on the game even if it's cool to see this stuff).
My point is that you guys want to have the most perfect skill game ever when there is absolutely no point in doing that. What do you want ? Mablak or Random that are now leading the wn world for almost 8 years to continu doing so ? How is that even enjoyable. Where is the fun out of that ? I remember WL when we used to play a lot of battlerace because we loved it and no one complained about anything about it. Nowadays, you want to remove one of the most played scheme for what ? Because you think there is too many luck in it. So excuse me but what the hell ? You won't be earning anything by winning any tus saison ever. It is nice to have some competiveness but to some extend. To be honest tus is really becoming boring for me and lot of people. Not because of MI or the website design (actually technically it is the best league we had ever) but because of the actual trend that is to remove all scheme that involve luck. Less and less scheme more and more robot like playing. Where is the fun ? Yes, you still can play free league but it's not active at all and since it is free there is almost no one doing it seriously. I believe MI and tus staff tried to enhance these scheme by puting intermediate or aeral but some of you for some dark unknown raison just want to stay the way it is. Let's stay the way it is and wait another 10 years before having a new mablak and random. At least it'll be easy for the award section ! But please for one second, imagine that you bring 90% of the free league scheme into the normal league (let's say with some scheme ponderation), I wouldn't be that sure that mablak or random make into playoffs ! Wouldn't it be great to see everyone has a chance to some extend to see some people who played these schemes for age coming here and teaching us new stuffs ? Aw yes, some "pro" clan would have a hard time but wouldn't it be great overall ?
Let's say we bring the most lucky scheme in the normal league..let's say banana bng but with a ponderation soo low that you would have to win 10 banana bng in order to make it like 1 ttrr. It wouldn't change that the best would win at the end. The way I see things is that I believe most of people didn't really give a try to these free scheme and didn't see that lot of them include a lot of skill. Am I the only one who think that watching mablak+statik against anubis+barman playing a wascar clanner would be so much funner than them playing roper or ttrr ? Yes it's always cooler to say that your winning ration is 99.99% but well..who cares if at the end you're able to play only 4 schemes.. A good ponderation between scheme would allow people to learn new thing about worms, to have new people and to have more fun because fun is often triggered by some luck !
Well just saying my thought even if I  know everyone want the world to look like the way they want :-)

Some of us actually find "fun" and "enjoyment" when competing at something we're very good at, with or without money and want skill factor be more important than luck factor.

Why doesn't anyone see the sentences where I suggest that let hysteria have its own league or lets modify the scheme?

Post by: Peja on February 12, 2013, 07:47 AM
i wonder from which indicators you know hysteria is more luck based  than others. the only indicator could be stats.
when u look on this season stats and compare them with ttrr (certainly not much luck invovled) you cant really see any significant difference on the top.

if i take your theory for true, shouldnt those numbers be much lower than in ttrr?

Anubis, I think you would actually do well in the challenge, you have a Mablak-like mentality when it comes to dedicating oneself to things like this.

I haven't watched the game yet, but I am sure you won because both you and barman are exceptional BnG players, and very experienced at doing the right thing at the right time.

Why doesn't anyone see the sentences where I suggest that let hysteria have its own league or lets modify the scheme?

Because we don't want to.

What do you want? Only the schemes you are very good at left in Classic?

We have 8 schemes, and I have personally never seen such a fair and balanced League, TuS imo is the best League WA ever had, and probably ever will have, and for me the balance of the Classic League schemes is a reason for that.

Yeah whatever man. If the challenge is accepted and MI agrees to the conditions and I succeed, then something will finally happen.

U seriously think that effectively played (piling+side zooks/force sd, 1-shot win) is a good scheme to play in classic league? It's so f@#!ing boring and lame looking, that's why we have so many anti-hysteria threads.

Actually don't even answer, this thread is pissing me off well enough already, just someone top hysteria player accept the challenge, MI agrees to do something with Hyst if I win over 40%, if not, I'll stfu and someone else can open yet another anti-hysteria thread later on.

I tried to not write anything in this discussion but since I have been pulled in I feel obliged to answer.

I think that these things don't  solve anything but since Free is asking insistently to start the challenge I gladly accept.

I'll show you that to be competitive in Hysteria you need years of experience because it's not only about telecow, it's about tactic, tricks and skills... these things take years (just ask Komo if you doesn't believe me).

I also think that Hysteria can help this Game/Community to grow; for example in my case the first game that I played online was Hysteria and I started to love this game playing it. After about 1 year I discovered this Community.

I will play 10 games against you and I'm sure you won't win more than 1-2 games. would happen the same thing if at my place would play Random, Gabriel, Artic, Crash, Komo, Kaleu, Almog, SPW, MI, Chelsea, Phanton, fenrys, Krezo and many others (sorry I can't write the full list xD)

Still if newbie how you call me can beat that uber pro like Casso even in 30-40% of the games (so far we played only 1 game won by me) isn't that proof that the person isn't that pro or scheme is just lucky? Come on, you are so brainless.

this makes no sense... we know that ttrr is a scheme that requires many skills, and luck factor is almost absent but this doesn't mean that Hysteria sucks compared with it. We played only 2 games 2 years ago and you won 1, so ? I remember you were pretty good in Hysteria, what's the problem ? really can't understand what do you want to prove.

I have never told you are a newbie and you can't take as an example a game played 2 years ago.

I hope that you understood what 1-2 games out of 10 means. it's about 15% (3/20) of Hysteria games against 10% (2/20) of ttrr games.

Ok, so 2 weeks from now on, 10 games total (I hope we wont have to play all of them at once so we can have full concentration) and let's see if I get 40%, as in I win 4 games out of 10. I agree to this ONLY if MI agrees to either modify the scheme or remove it/make own league to it whatever, as long as it doesn't stay in classic as it is. You say it needs years of experience and your considered one of the top players, so MI shouldn't have problems agreeing with this.

I also think that Hysteria can help this Game/Community to grow; for example in my case the first game that I played online was Hysteria and I started to love this game playing it. After about 1 year I discovered this Community.

I will play 10 games against you and I'm sure you won't win more than 1/2 games. would happen the same thing if at my place would play Random, Gabriel, Artic, Crash, Komo, Kaleu, Almog, SPW, Chelsea, Phanton, fenrys, Krezo and many others (sorry I can't write the full list xD)

P.S Sorry if my english isn't perfect, I hope you understand

Ok, so 2 weeks from now on, 10 games total (I hope we wont have to play all of them at once so we can have full concentration) and let's see if I get 40%, as in I win 4 games out of 10. I agree to this ONLY if MI agrees to either modify the scheme or remove it/make own league to it whatever, as long as it doesn't stay in classic as it is. You say it needs years of experience and your considered one of the top players, so MI shouldn't have problems agreeing with this.

Agreed.

Only a thing... I ask you to be as fair as possible. I'll try to check if you will play these games or someone else at your place (for example a skilled Hysteria hater). No1 will spectate in our games to prevent hints (in Hysteria it's too important).

The only way I would see a vote like this happen fairly is if every single legit member of TuS votes, not just the "regulars and trolls".
Most of the people who really like Hysteria probably wouldn't even vote.

You want to remove the most popular scheme from Classic league, then you must be willing to go to distance. 10 games vs one single player won't do, but it certainly will prove a point. The kind of a point that touches me. There's also Gabriel and many others. (I can't talk for them) If I was in your place and I wanted to prove this point, I'd make a list of great players and try to get a decent winning percentage from each of them. Trying to beat one single player in order to change things around is not the way. Don't bother if that's the highest effort you're willing to do. Nice movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighter_in_the_Wind) about someone taking the challenge to high skilled ones ;)

But if you manage to pull this, then we'll finally have something to refer to. *An average Hysteria player, took the challenge and beat the high skilled ones.*

In that case, we can start talking about solutions, otherwise it is just like people accuse Intermediate of lucky placements but don't stand a chance vs high skilled players. I'm not interested in theoretical flaws of schemes.

p.s. There's also chance if you train enough, you switch sides lol

Disclaimer: The following text may cause heart failure for Hysteria fanboys. I won't pay your ambulance fees!

Hysteria got put into classic league after a poll with a 56% majority voting for the scheme. Back then nobody really knew what competitive Hysteria looked like because at that time nobody had played it that way. Now, a good 4 years and numerous complaints by oldschool wormers (who have actually played it, I may add) later the scheme still persists. "Because it's popular".

I won't deny that there's a certain skillset which one needs to stand on top of the Hysteria rankings. However when it comes to the top of the ladder duking it out among each other, there are games in which both players are in a 1vs1 stalemate position where they would hypothetically teleport around the map for all eternity because they both can't get a shot at the other. Usually this cycle is ended by one of the two losing their patience, teleporting to either an open spot where the other player can get a shot at him, or to a spot which provides protection but no chance to actually shoot. In the latter case the other player will just enforce SD so the hidden player will have to teleport to some open place on top eventually. Either way it's a loss-loss situation and could be avoided by just continuing to teleport around in the aforementioned cycle and waiting for the other player to lose patience first.

I don't expect anyone to actually read and understand this but I've seen several situations like this, the scheme is just not suited for high level competitive play.
Random00 is a really good overall player and has this winning mentality, he never gives up. That's part of the reason why he's on top of the Hysteria standings, he lets others do the mistake before he does it himself. And that Maverick guy has a winning percentage that high because he mostly played complete newbies who lack general knowledge about the game.

I won't bother looking up games or providing any other kind of proof btw, my words make perfect sense if you just let them get through to you and if you've played the scheme on a decently high level. Not gonna bother with Komos incoming wall of text either. (Just let this stand as my opinion rather than facts if it makes you happier Komo, it's obviously something only very few people can see.)

Free, do you really believe that if you'll beat top players, they will remove hysteria? :D I thought your real wish was to populate more skilled schemes, like Elite. Today people prefer hysteria. If there wasn't hysteria, then I would probably learn bng or elite. But I don't have time to practice all schemes, so I picked to learn hysteria, and now when I play elites I know they are harder to learn and play. Or maybe it's just me :)

There's no way I want to go through the torture of playing more than 1 of the top players, it should already prove enough that Hysteria is a scheme of true skill since there's no way I could go from average to top player in just 2 weeks if the scheme skilled enough. Even Casso said that there's no way I can win more than 2. I've watched enough hyst games (from top players also) and good enough overall defaulter to see the basic routines behind effective hyst tactics, there's no way it would take me more than 2 weeks to grasb the general feel for the scheme and some of its tricks, only true question is that would my accuracy. Only reason I haven't given enough time to properly play hysteria is because the effective tactics are so ridicilous and boring, they make no sense to me, who's played every league out there, from WACL to TUS. Just the f@#!ing fact it's most often good to kill your own worms from the very beginning already SCREAMS flaw. Then there comes the darkside side-zooking, oh my f@#!ing god.

Why can't you simply consider the idea of making Hysteria-only league? It might even work and even be more beneificial to all parties, average to pro hysteria lovers as us "hyst-haters". I'm sure none of us "hyst-haters" want to general activity to go down, but to look for solution that benefits all, because really, hysteria is the most flawed scheme in classic atm. Imo.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: HHC on February 12, 2013, 03:58 PM
Players in classic league with an overall winning % of:
80 or higher: elite 6, hysteria 4.
70-80%: elite 23, hysteria 14.

Elite had 39 pages of players, Hysteria about 46. Hysteria is a little bit more played.
Players with 30 or less games played weren't counted.

I guess that says (ceteris paribus) Elite is less luck based than Hyst. But you can't say hyst is entirely luck based.


For me the issue is not the luck-factor, but the dubious tactics and the extent to which a scheme rewards cheap play.
Elite, Team17 and Intermediate don't have such loopholes... at all. (afaik)

Roper has some (see for example the clanner I played vs bh, the map was so hard that sd was impossible to make for them. I was 1vs2, so the only thing I had to do was place a mine near one of the other guys, but not near enough to make it explode, cause that would be cow. And then set them off the next turn to take around 30 dmg. without ever making any attempt to w2w). A more common example are top hides (which one MIGHT call cheap).

Shopper has some. The 1st turn plop I mentioned. As well as maybe the petrol attack, which is IMO something that should be taken out by scheme. Same for flamethrowers.

BnG has plenty. This scheme basically revolves around who is able to cheap the most. Through placement, hides, repeat shots, notching, bouncing/sitting, weapon choice, etcetera.

Hysteria has plenty as well. From simple side-hides to telecow and 80 HP sui's.

WxW: fairly clean, see shopper + benefit for the guy who has map experience.

TTRR: clean. Even map advantage has little profit here.


Based on 'scheme flaws' as mentioned above alone, BnG and Hyst might be reconsidered.
But if you were to remove those two you'd end up with a very unbalanced league, where 66% of the schemes are rope based. Even with intermediate included (which is IMO an entirely different game than elite or t17) the league would still be unbalanced.

I personally don't think it's a bad idea to put in some kind of weighing system.

Class A: Elite.
Class B: Ropes: (Roper, TTRR)
Class C: Default misc (Team17, Hysteria, Intermediate)
Class D: Small schemes (Shopper, WxW, BnG, Aerial + alternating decent Freeleague scheme)

If each of these classes accounts for 25% of a player's overall season rating it would balance the league a lot better IMO.
The importance of schemes would be:
Elite 25%
Roper and TTRR 12.5% each (as it is today)
Team17, Hysteria and Intermediate 8.33%
Shopper, WxW, BnG, Aerial + Freeleague scheme 5% each.

This greatly decreases the importance of 'broken' schemes. And adds more importance to those that arent: elite, roper and ttrr.

I know I'm now saying another theoretical ****, but I believe I can get high place in single POs just with my rope skills. All I need is to finish season on 1st-2nd place, then always pick TTRR/Roper/Hysteria (I will probably lose Elite and T17 to most players :D ). Considering there won't be huge crate rape, in hysteria I have good chances vs Random00 compared to Elite. I mean I will lose Elite 100%, but hysteria... maybe not! ;D

So you think you've a mighty mission to make it a "pure" league. Go on do a league per scheme we are not that far if you consider tel/TRL/HAL, this is a genious idea !

I just thought of a new way of voting in schemes into classic or to reevaluate all existing classic schemes. We should vote on all existing classic schemes currently in the league if they are worthy of being in there. Then after we have all the values we figure out the average % a scheme needs to be in Classic scheme, since classic scheme means a lot (high activity and best players) it should be approved not only by 50%+ of the player-base, instead it should be a clear 70-80% (which can be calculated after having all % after the votes on all schemes currently available).

Then, every year or so, the same process should take place to introduce or keep old/new schemes.

Thoughts?

Additional idea: Based on the % we could use HHC's idea and incorporate it and thus a scheme with only 60% approval only counts for 60% of the normal points etc.

Wow, you just literally said that because I did something (hosting a couple of cups), something changed in TUS.

I simply don't see value based on time wasted trying to get the point across[...]

And now you say the complete opposite.

[...]I seee more value trying to approach the situation like this.

How is it working out for you so far? 15 pages of rambling and the poll says 26 for keeping hysteria and 22 for ditching hysteria so far.

That would probably only get the most popular ones, LIKE HYST, voted on top.
IMO my system was much better. Counting Elite as most is fair cause it's the best scheme for a league: you need various skill, great tactical insight and good weapon handling as well. And best of all, there's no cheap play or loopholes for people to exploit.
Same goes for Roper and TTRR, but everyone will agree that these are 1-weapon schemes only (rope), so they can be counted as a little less important.
And all the shitty schemes go in the misc category where they count for little more than peanuts.

If the voting would be transparent so everyone can see who has voted for what I am sure, even many ambitious Hysteria players would agree that Elite or TTRR are much more worth to have in classic league than Hysteria. You wouldn't have unlimited votes (like you can only vote 5 schemes to be in classic). And if it really proves that nowadays the Worms community values Hysteria, shopper etc. to be the top notch competition Worms is about, well I guess there is only the option to create another league and play the "old" schemes in there without the rest.

People like hysteria in clanner, it's funny and it's one of the scheme most played, there will be a reason!
We are no more kids, I am old, I like sitting in the evening and have fun and laugh a bit. This is a thing I cannot have in t17 for example cause I'd prefer having a dinner alone with Chelsea and Asbest then play t17.
But I will never open a topic about removing it auhauh

Buiii!

ANO, you also have to consider that Hysteria is the most played because people (like me look at recent clan games :() are forced to play this scheme even though I would not otherwise.

Following not related to your quote ANO!:

I just believe it can never have the tactical and meaningful thought process like an elite can have in default. You can't really compare Hyst to Roper or RR simply because they are based around rope. Roping is a muscle memory test. Elite utilizes more options (more time, more weapons, thoughtful Worm placement etc.)
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: ANO on February 12, 2013, 08:39 PM
Buiiiiiiii bubiuiiiiiii

...ELite is a master, I agree with you. That's why there is also a special league for it, TEL.

But only Elite and ttrr in my opinion are at the top. Only these 2.

Shoppa is the scheme with more lucky factor, t17 also..

wxw in the way is now is 80% lucky, wxw between 2 good players is 99% luck with weapons, that's why I proposed another wxw (https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-628/, this should be played in league)

bng, we have too many lamer players to consider at the top.

hysteria, is not so easy as old players can think. Just why? Cause they are losing games against new players that maybe have spent a lot of time playing it? I think having a new scheme is a good compromise to not allow this game to die with us granny guys.

So the conclusion could be, let's play a league with only 2 schemes?! ttrr and elite... Because removing only hyst and let t17 and shoppa and wxw in would be a bullshit too.

And also, as someone as already said, do you guys think to be able to find many clanners or "tus any1" to play removing hysteria or other schemes?"

Buiiiiiiii bubiuiiiiiii

...ELite is a master, I agree with you. That's why there is also a special league for it, TEL.

But only Elite and ttrr in my opinion are at the top. Only these 2.

Shoppa is the scheme with more lucky factor, t17 also..

wxw in the way is now is 80% lucky, wxw between 2 good players is 99% luck with weapons, that's why I proposed another wxw (https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-628/, this should be played in league)

bng, we have too many lamer players to consider at the top.

hysteria, is not so easy as old players can think. Just why? Cause they are losing games against new players that maybe have spent a lot of time playing it? I think having a new scheme is a good compromise to not allow this game to die with us granny guys.

So the conclusion could be, let's play a league with only 2 schemes?! ttrr and elite... Because removing only hyst and let t17 and shoppa and wxw in would be a bullshit too.

And also, as someone as already said, do you guys think to be able to find many clanners or "tus any1" to play removing hysteria or other schemes?" Or do you prefer to play in 20 old school guys and let other 100 wormers out? If you want this, open a new league and go there to play only 4 or 3 schemes you choose, cause most of people is not interested in this.

What is there all to learn in Hysteria? If you mastered BnG, Elite you know 90% of Hysteria, no? Turn Advantage is common in elite, as a long time player you get the feel of rapid Zooka/Nades anyway so the only thing left is using jetpack and infinite Teleports? The difficulty comes from doing something in 1 second? This is a huge skill limiter since it's just 1 second. Once you learned how to move your mouse accurate in Hyst you can do very accurate cross-map teleports. Once you know how far you can move your crosshair in 1 second and still can shoot, that's about it? Oh I managed to lay a mine yesterday and activate it and move it with my jetpack before retreat ended. What else can I learn in Hyst now? What about fairplay? Select jetpack, use jetpack and select xy weapon? Sounds like some people could abuse it with macros.

I just don't see any value in hosting bunch of cups or tourneys to get a simple point across, has your hosting done anything to modify HYSTERIA as a classic scheme. No, we got Aerial, which ain't a classic scheme, which imo would be a better scheme for classic than hysteria.

Wow, you just literally said that because I did something (hosting a couple of cups), something changed in TUS.

I simply don't see value based on time wasted trying to get the point across[...]

And now you say the complete opposite.

[...]I seee more value trying to approach the situation like this.

How is it working out for you so far? 15 pages of rambling and the poll says 26 for keeping hysteria and 22 for ditching hysteria so far.

I mean the challenge unless it already aint the MOST OBVIOUS THING? I dont care about polls (most voters are beginners/average players with not enough experience) as I already mentioned there should be an carefully selected council to make the decisision considering schemes/rules.

LOL @ "The poll is to shut him up", I would approach this topic with poll in mind if I thought it had any chance to win, but as the majority (beginners/average playes) are hyst lovers and only care about hyst, I'm not stupid to take that route. The challenge is to show how little skill you actually need to "master" the scheme and how stupid the scheme really looks when you force effective gameplay.

You could answer my question D1, do you, or do you not think that majority of TUS Hysteria players only want to play hysteria? If you agree with me, then why having a separate league for Hysteria only would be a bad idea? It would not downgrade the activity and we would probably end up majority being more satisfied than before. At least we could give it a try for 1 season and see what truly happens to the activity.

Disclaimer: The following text may cause heart failure for Hysteria fanboys. I won't pay your ambulance fees!

Hysteria got put into classic league after a poll with a 56% majority voting for the scheme. Back then nobody really knew what competitive Hysteria looked like because at that time nobody had played it that way. Now, a good 4 years and numerous complaints by oldschool wormers (who have actually played it, I may add) later the scheme still persists. "Because it's popular".

I won't deny that there's a certain skillset which one needs to stand on top of the Hysteria rankings. However when it comes to the top of the ladder duking it out among each other, there are games in which both players are in a 1vs1 stalemate position where they would hypothetically teleport around the map for all eternity because they both can't get a shot at the other. Usually this cycle is ended by one of the two losing their patience, teleporting to either an open spot where the other player can get a shot at him, or to a spot which provides protection but no chance to actually shoot. In the latter case the other player will just enforce SD so the hidden player will have to teleport to some open place on top eventually. Either way it's a loss-loss situation and could be avoided by just continuing to teleport around in the aforementioned cycle and waiting for the other player to lose patience first.

I don't expect anyone to actually read and understand this but I've seen several situations like this, the scheme is just not suited for high level competitive play.
Random00 is a really good overall player and has this winning mentality, he never gives up. That's part of the reason why he's on top of the Hysteria standings, he lets others do the mistake before he does it himself. And that Maverick guy has a winning percentage that high because he mostly played complete newbies who lack general knowledge about the game.

I won't bother looking up games or providing any other kind of proof btw, my words make perfect sense if you just let them get through to you and if you've played the scheme on a decently high level. Not gonna bother with Komos incoming wall of text either. (Just let this stand as my opinion rather than facts if it makes you happier Komo, it's obviously something only very few people can see.)

And to this quote I stop posting in this thread that proved to be rather f@#!ing pointless, once again, so much off topic and flame. It's simply pissing me off too much to keep posting, I can't see anything constructive coming out of this thread anymore. Hysteria is really flawed as a competitive scheme but none of our oldschoolers opinions matter because "it's too popular" and there's no consideration even for separate Hysteria league, which could actually be a REALLY good thing. My challenge wasn't good enough to MI.

It's only natural that players like you are celebrating this result, considering you've been abusing a broken scheme and intend to continue doing that. How fitting to call yourself a legendary lucker.

Currently there's 36.6% against the scheme, which I don't think is an insignificant value. Even if the poll result will say 70% to keep Hysteria and 30% to remove it in the end, what are the ones in charge going to do? It'll still say 30% are unhappy the way it is.

Edit: There's also no way you can be serious about the poll being "just to shut him up" Marc. The result does say something.

But "lucker" is not about hysteria and I think we have all agree with this.
Free is just saying is a bullshit scheme not that is lucky.
t17 and also roper have an higher lucky factor then hysteria, this is obvious.

and btw,
avete rotto il cazzo.   

Majority wants hysteria in, it's a league where there are not only "Super pro standoffish old scholers"... There are many different kind of wormers, many noobs maybe (new players, in 4-5 years from now, they will be also old wormers) and this is the reason why, this vidoegame is not dead yet.
Hysteria is a good compromised between old and new age. Or do you want to go to play leagues in 20 people?

Yes, I was talking about I dont see value hosting cups because none of the cups hosted so far around changing hysteria hasn't done anything to chance Hysteria as CLASSIC scheme, and then you bring up how changes were made in TUS.

And what does my reaction to the poll have to do with anything? Even an idiot could predict the poll results as Hyst is the most popular scheme, it still doesn't mean that there's something very wrong with the scheme.

I don't see anything constructive coming out of this thread because half of the posts are flame, and my challenge wasn't accepted even though even Casso suggested there's no way I can come up with 40% win ratio in few weeks so I don't want to torture myself with the scheme any more than I really need to.

Also, you still dodged my question which I asked twice already and there has been no opinions on what about making a separate Hysteria league and how it would perhaps benefit the majority of TUS players = Reason why I, personally, don't see anything constructive coming out of this thread anymore, not because of your deeply thought psychologic analysis.

I could say the same thing zipper, I'm pissed that you guys only think about the popularity instead the top players wanting to have the most balanced schemes possible.
There is the problem here Free, you don't think of the majority but only about yourself. On one side you want to promote this league in order to have lot more new people joining on the other you do the opposite and want to make the league even more elitist (which in fact seems to be wrong since lot of people tell you hyst need skills) by removing the most popular scheme. I don't know when you started playing league game but let's say back in wl days. Would you have liked that hhc remove shopper from the league because it was too luck biased (which with the old scheme involved much more luck).

40% disapproving of the scheme is still a major population...  If you asked about the other schemes being league-worthy, I don't think there would be such a high disapproval percent.  Of course, only 98 people have voted in the poll... Worms is way more active than 98 players, so you're never going to properly gather data about the scheme by just posting an optional poll question...

If you're really serious about gathering data, you'd force people to answer a short survey on hysteria or else their tus account will be banned... Give them a reasonable time to do the survey, then analyze those results.  I know it sounds harsh forcing people to do the survey, but if you want real stuff to work with, you need to be ambitious about it like in the real world...

Nowadays I see people hosting PX HIGHLANDER over and over again. PX Highlander Classic or ban me. Or even better - ban everyone!

Raise popularity, to the stars! $$$ :)

I read this topic like a comic book :).

It turned out quite clear that disliking hysteria is rather not welcome and meets a great opposition just like not approving homosexual orientation nowadays.
Even my ironic post, that was only meant to ridicule some logic, has hurt someones feelings, but that's not the case.

I highly respect people who have courage to have an opinion that isn't mainstream and say it aloud.
On the other hand I admire the passion of some hysteria lovers here, however I somehow see only few of them posting in this topic. Perhaps it's just my impression.

To conclude things up. A great solution would be the idea, which I, Husk and possibly some other people have been already talking about, that is:
banning two schemes (1 by each player/clan) before starting playoffs schemes picks for each round.
Then also hysteria lovers could remove another scheme from the pool.

this idea basicly sucks:if you have 1 weak scheme (like ttrr for example) you can just remove it. this is kinda a huge disadvantage for the better clan which is just a joke in playoffs.

I am not bad in hysteria, and yes I think it should be removed from classic just because it's not classic at all, saying that hyst has flaws is just the wrong way to go for it, and have its own league, without aerial, but only hysteria alone, this way we will not lose players and/or drecrease the activity, and since you all say that hysteria is the unique reason of some players doing TUS, that would be perfect to make a hysteria only league so they can play their favourite scheme ONLY.
But before doing such thing, we need to think in a replace for hysteria, there's 4 rope schems and 4 default schemes I think we can't just delete hysteria, maybe Intermediate? It's the most classic scheme ever, but everyone here agrees with me that this would render tons of "hyst-like" threads.
By the way I am not changing my thoughts, my previously posts were just to defend that Hysteria is not a luck scheme or another stuff that some people mentioned, I did not say that hysteria should NOT be removed.
 This is a delicate case, good luck.

50% of your games are hysteria, 99% of your picks is hysteria. What is the point to play TUS league? Play Hysteria league...

So what, most of my picks is BnG, at least it means this League provides something I enjoy, and something he enjoys...

He is protecting hyst like it will be removed at all from TUS :)

https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/seasons-info/ - Click "Schemes" for each season. Hysteria simply "kills" other schemes. People gain most points only thanks to hysteria. I like hysteria, but it's just overplayed. I understand people, they play tus to have fun and hysteria is very funny, but...

Then just put a limit on the amount of times you can pick each scheme in Classic? Put percentages on, simple...

Like, you can't go over 25% of picks for a certain scheme, if you do, you must pick another scheme, and then later you can pick this scheme again when you played enough other schemes...

But before doing such thing, we need to think in a replace for hysteria, there's 4 rope schemes and 4 default schemes I think we can't just delete hysteria...



But first you need to argue why evening out rope and default schemes is necessary, because honestly I don't see how that is relevant at all.  A lot of people use that approach (myself included I'm sure), but we've never bothered to ask WHY evening out the schemes is so important. It's really not, but I forget that this is TUS and it doesn't favor competitive play. 

If the schemes are 4 to 3, roping to default, people would say those who suck at roping have a disadvantage... Well if your weak spot is in roping, how the f@#! is making sure there are just enough default schemes as roping schemes going to actually help you?  It's not, it's just catering to noobs (once again).  It shouldn't matter if there are 100 roping schemes in the league and 3 defaults... it's the all-around skill league, if you're not going to get better in the other schemes, then you don't deserve to win seasons, it's that simple.  It's fine if you can make it to the top of the ladder by playing a couple of your niche schemes, but when it comes to playoff times, you're going to lose and that's not our problem. 

SO many of these arguments for hysteria are just bonkers... can we not look at the scheme mechanics objectively without accusing people of disliking it or sucking at it or how it will affect other things THAT ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE TOPIC.  If someone thoroughly explains how the rewards and risks system is completely flawed in the scheme, you CANNOT counter that by saying "but it's a popular scheme, activity will go down". You cannot have a debate about the logistics of a scheme by asking one opinion driven poll question, either.

ShyGuy, sorry but "game mechanics" has nothing to do with what TuS represents, if people don't like it, I suggest making a seperate league for the players who wish to play "flawless" schemes.

How can you sit there and complain about a "flawed scheme" when humans never have been and never will be perfect themselves?

Every single Hysteria I have ever lost (singles) has been my own fault for missing crucial shots/teleports, yes, that is a flaw, a human flaw, not a "game mechanic".

Every single arguement and point anyone has ever made against Hysteria has been countered by people like myself, MonkeyIsland, DarkOne, Casso, Chelsea etc.

The point is, both players have every chance to win with skill if they are good enough, the scheme allows domination & extreme comeback, hence why it's in my opinion, one of the most skilled schemes and most exciting.

I don't see players like Chelsea, and the guys DarkOne mentioned "chesteria players" as cheap, or lame, I just see them as boring, Chelsea will get owned in PO anyway, why care so much that he plays Hysteria so boring it turns the hair on your balls grey?

I really wish we could ban threads about Hysteria...

Can anyone really tell me why it's such a no-go to have a separate Hysteria league? There even is one already in HAL. It's not like the scheme would disappear.. Yet where's the problem? Isn't it even better since you're more likely to encounter other top players of your beloved pain-in-the-ass-flawed scheme?? It's the one solution that everyone should be at least ok with.

I'm not sure if this was sarcasm (both Komo and zip's post).  Let's make some things clear regarding you guys who love the "flaws" in schemes and like how funny they can be or whatever:

1. You have the option to go on wormnet and host any kind of scheme you want with any rules and play with anyone you want for fun.
2. You have the option to play in the free league dedicated to fun, unbalanced schemes.
3. You guys have the rotated league that may appeal to those who feel they couldn't make it in the classic league and gives them a chance to focus on one scheme without having to play other schemes they suck at.


With those points in mind, I don't see how moving hysteria to the free-league and adding a more proven scheme such as aerial into the classic league is molding TuS to be a league that caters to the "top 2%".  You traditionalists already have a monopoly over this game; have you noticed every time someone wants to make a minor change to make things more competitive, it is the same people that come out and vehemently oppose it?  For f@#! sake, it was you people who argued against a new policy in ttrr that would simply ensure the faster wormer in a RACE wins... So don't start implying that those who want to play competitively ( a large number, too) are trying to mold TuS to fit our needs only, because it's pretty f@#!in clear what group of players have been the completely selfish ones.


How can you sit there and complain about a "flawed scheme" when humans never have been and never will be perfect themselves?



 I never said the word "perfect" in any of my posts referring to modifying schemes. Ever.  This statement completely misses any point I've tried to make.. not even going to bother responding to this in detail even though the implications are pretty stupid.


ShyGuy, sorry but "game mechanics" has nothing to do with what TuS represents, if people don't like it, I suggest making a seperate league for the players who wish to play "flawless" schemes.


And on the flip-side, I suggest those who want to play unbalanced schemes and schemes with unnecessary, fixable flaws host casual games on wormnet, play in the free league, play in the rotated league, and actively oppose improvements to the one league that is supposed to determine who the best players are... Oh wait, you guys already do all four of those things.



Every single arguement and point anyone has ever made against Hysteria has been countered by people like myself, MonkeyIsland, DarkOne, Casso, Chelsea etc.



In your mind you might think this is true.  Anecdotal evidence and personal opinions do not counter the scientific method or empirical evidence.  Because of the 1 second turn time, there is too much to be abused in hysteria that completely defy what a competitive game should be... this has already been mathematically and logically proven in other threads... I don't care how many games you've won... Unless you put forth science against science, I don't care about your stories...

Ok 1st off, I supported the MS rule for TTRR, I agree with you, it's retarded because it's a "race".

Secondly, I never said you said perfect, I just used the fact humans aren't perfect.

Thirdly, it's an all-round league, Hysteria adds to that, whether you believe it or not/like it or not.

Regarding the last sentence, no there isn't, and no it hasn't, please don't lie.

1 should get the point across if I make it. I'm not gonna torture myself more than needed. I really HATE playing hysteria.

I mean look at Casso's streak, by my understanding, if Hysteria is such a skilled scheme as community thinks, an average player like myself should not even get close to 40% in 2 weeks.

What makes it even more interesting is the replays those games are gonna portrait. If someone finds the scheme "exciting" after those, he's been living in some cave.

I'd agree if it was just "1". But 40 % of any group is a lot. 5 People on the moon and only 3 can survive, the other 2 have to sacrifice them. Do you really believe its fair by such small margin? 40% in comparison to 60% is such a slim difference. Would you send 40 ppl to death because 60 can live because of that? Do you really believe many ppl would agree that 40% of anything is a minority?

For the record, it's even 42% atm, instead of silencing/ridiculing so many people figure out how to make both big parties happy.

Reason for "1" is stated pretty clearly in my previous post(s), its best of 10 games, Casso said I will win 2 max, I'm sure he's smart enough to take the "bad day" factor into consideration also.

"Altough I haven't seen such a result yet" Exactly.

I'm actually suprised the poll is even so close to 50/50, majority of potential voters being just the Hyst lovers instead the minority of potential "true competitive all-round" player voters. I'm sure we can agree on that. Most just want to play their hysteria and don't give a f@#! about all-round skills.

Why it's such a no-go with having Hysteria as separate league? Would most probably benefit most of us.

Why it's so hard to see that Hysteria needs tweaking as a scheme, like KRD said, something as simple as thinking about the amount of worms Hyst starts with, could already make the scheme more playable and not look so stupid from competitive point of view, killing your own worms, you can f@#! up A LOT and still actually end up in pretty even 1v1 situation, darkside zooking which bores people to death etc. etc.

@ Anubis: the 40% is the reason I asked for alternatives. Simply removing hysteria is giving the 40% their way and simply doing away with the 60%. I supplied an alternative with random turn order, but there was hardly any kind of response to that. HHC's aerial was another alternative, which got its own following, but also not unanimously embraced. Where do we go from here?

This is just my viewing point, I have nothing against Hyst in particular, I can accept that it has followers and that it has a place in the league. But there is such a big audience that seems to be ignored by TUS, just think about some more realistic references and think if you could ignore the needs of 40%+ ppl in other situations.

Post by: KoreanRedDragon on February 20, 2013, 08:22 PM
Hysteria gets a higher Yes/No ratio than Intermediate in these polls here on TUS, and Intermediate is demonstrably one of the most competitive schemes on this game. BnG probably wouldn't even get 50% support at this point...

I don't think anyone should be constructing their arguments based on that one little number. :P
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: darKz on February 20, 2013, 11:20 PM
The main problem I see with Hysteria is that 1 second is too little to actually counter the flaws in the scheme (not enough space in 1 turn to do more than shoot, jetpack+drop or teleport), nothing's gonna change with the mechanical flaws of the scheme if turn time stays 1 second. Then again the guys supporting it say "if it's not 1 second it's not Hysteria, don't change plzplzplzplz"... I don't see a solution that everyone's going to be happy with. Aerial doesn't seem to be that widely accepted either? I could be wrong. Haven't actually played it so I can't tell if there's flaws in that scheme too or not, but 3 seconds are certainly better than 1 second for a competitive scheme.

Oh snap KRD, I just did exactly that, but with a different number. :D

Incredibly stupid !

Anything less than 50 percent counts as a minority...

The good players who have a true passion for the game are in the " minority " albeit not a small minority.

The noobs want to have a chance at winning against the true players.

The noobs will then pick luckbased schemes in order to minimize the ammount of skill required to attain victory while increasing the ammount of luck that plays in..This is apparent in shoppa/hysteria and to a lesser extent T17 but NOT intermidiate. If the noobs wanted to have comet dodging in to increase their points would you allow that Monkey ?

The dP moto clearly states that 5 true members is better than 50 ok members... That mentallity should also reflect here..Should not 42 % true players with passion/cultivation for this game outweigh the garbage ?

What fool will favour 5 100 dollar checks over a grand 100 000 dollar check ? What fool would prefere 10 bottles of low quality whine from LIDL instead of 1 bottle of the finest, most exquisite 1912 red whine ? This demonstrates the 2 problems with democracy.

* Democracy clearly states that every person is of equal worth and deserves to vote.

* Democracy clearly states that every persons opinion is off equal value.

As an example...THe US drug problems..The wisest descission would be to legallize some drugs as alcohol counts as a drug as well/It will greatly enhance the quality of the drug thus making them less polluted and less dangerous/It will remove power from the black market and thus crimes done/ As shown in the past it will not create a surge in the number of drug users. One educated wise man could discuss this with a comittee and decide to legalize drugs thus obtaining the desired result but a wild ocean of those less educated fools will waver in opinion as puppets so easily manipulated the the mass media.. So tbe optimal descission may not be reached as it is " less populair "(OFC i would never, and have never taken drugs other than coffein).

Fools are so easily swayed by populairty. A salesman will be the most effectve by selling himself...NOT the product ! Having lesser people make the descission will thus bring us towards the optimal descissions. Often the fools will not understand that theydo not want a descission to be made or vice versa. some opinions should be valued higher.

For example i do not know much about alcohol..I have only purchased alcohol on one occasion. So i can not really state what kind of whine is best for what kind of food dish. Someone who knows alot about whine is more suited.

Likewise a noob that favours the luck of the draw instead of actual competition can not be taken as seriuosly as a player with a pure passion for the game and a great understanding of how it works. In order to see wheather or not hysteria should be kept we must select criterias for a " passionate true wormer " and then let them cast their votes. Since the gppd players do not want luck disrupting their winning streaks they will most likely opt to get rid of hysteria from the classic leauge ( While ressurecting intermidiate back to the classic leauge and also getting rid of shoppa)

This is what has been done.. I stand by my word.. The noobs should not raise their voice ! They should listnen...Follow so that they too may grow and move ahead towards maturity so they may gain abillity !

Sincerly your's...

I think the poll is only an indication of how much people will be pissed off if you kick Hyst out. 60% of all players is a lot. And thus... not very ideal as a solution to the issue.

Other options are as D1 said:
1) randomsteria
2) aerial
3) other fix of the scheme
and maybe 4) if you add my "decrease hyst' importance in classic" thingy
5) stfu and live with it.
6) gtfo.
7) hack TUS, see Komo  :D

If these are the options this thread is for nothing cause it's just gonna be the way it is now. Hyst in Classic.

Thing is, plenty of people like hysteria in the main league. Plenty of people don't like schemes like shopper, T17, BnG, WxW but there are no threads about removing those schemes. The problem is gameplay for a lot of people, obviously, so again: alternatives are what we need. Not discussions about ignoring people or reiterating the same stuff that's been said for 21 pages. I'm not hearing any of those, only selfish requests to remove hyst from the classic league.

I'm getting kind of tired of the "only noobs vote for hysteria" argument that keeps popping up, because it denigrates any achievement someone makes in hysteria. You want to know why hysteria seems easy to a lot of people to pick up? Because they learned other schemes first. Skills from elite, BnG, heck, even WxW/roper (last second decision making) gives you tools to make a dent with hysteria.

I'm not hearing any of those, only selfish requests to remove hyst from the classic league.

I'm getting kind of tired of the "only noobs vote for hysteria" argument that keeps popping up, because it denigrates any achievement someone makes in hysteria. You want to know why hysteria seems easy to a lot of people to pick up? Because they learned other schemes first. Skills from elite, BnG, heck, even WxW/roper (last second decision making) gives you tools to make a dent with hysteria.

Responding and telling me you (TUS, not you in particular) don't ignore this issue is quite humorous because this is like what? The 10th time the same results and/or discussion has been a major topic in TUS. It "feels" ignored, I know you guys react to it but it feels ignored because you don't really make any decision of weight regarding this. You actually make a good point, why are there not so many threads about Shopper,BnG etc. Maybe it's because there really isn't such a huge antipathy towards those schemes after all. If it would even be close to the same level of Hyst (40:60) resistance, then I am sure it would have the same outrage every now and then, apparently it doesn't. If a major issue in any institution gets postponed again and again I simply get disappointed by the administration. Gather the information we (for and against Hysteria) already gave you numerous times in this and the countless other threads and then decide for your own what you think is best. Make a clear statement why YOU at TUS staff think Hysteria deserves to be in Classic League, or why it does not. So far all I see is: Hysteria is most popular, majority is slim but still majority so it stays. Lets just discuss the topic into oblivion and the "haters" are gone for another 2-3 months, then we do the same, is that what you think is a healthy league administration where a really close call in votes and important topic to many people doesn't get the (imo) appropriate attention.

And ignore the "scheme is for noobs" comments. I am not arguing with such arguments and I believe Hysteria deserves to be in the league but it needs to tweaked but the 60% against that are against any change at all. I would welcome any alteration you guys can suggest and try it out for a season.

If a noob met the best player in the entire world and played with said noob 50 times..Would it not be expected that he won every single game unless the scheme involved a significant chunk of luck ?

Intermidiate luckless does not hold any luck with this logic as Dario has mannaged to reach incredibly high winning streaks against intermidiate and advanced players on this very site while NNN was down. Therefore Intermidiate is essentially luck free even 1 on 1 in that sense. Ofc there is some ingame factors that are out of the players controll and may give one player good or bad luck (For example starting the game with bad starting positions.) So it is not truly luckless in a subjective way of analyzing it. But because the very best players have the abillity to go on winning streaks well beyond 50 in a competitive leauge playing with very good players the luck becomes very diminuative and thus is not a valid arguement as to why Intermidiate luckless should be used in a competitive leauge.

BnG is the same..As much as i really hate this bloody scheme Komo went on a winning streak well beyond 50 even well beyond 100.. This is because the luck part in BnG although present (Starting order and wind) Is insignificant. The luck part can not stop " the best player " and therefore is insignificant and can not be used as an arguement for why BnG should be removed.

When it comes to hysteria on the other hand... HAs any player ever goten a 50+ winning streak on it here in tus playing vs whoever is availible ? As far as i know this has yet to happend. That is because the luck is preventing the very best players from attaining such a winning streak. This is why those wicked noobs love hysteria.. It appears to demand skill but is just barely better than comet dodging in that regard.

<B>THIS is a proffesional classic leauge</B> and therefore i concur that some kind of standard should be enforced. If the majority of people voting would like coin tossing to be in the olympics would it be allowed ? OFC tit would be a joke !

So the large scores of noobs that are desperately crying in agony and fasting as a protest for hysteria to remain in classic should be ignored and shunned away. Monkey quality >>>>>>>quantity especially when the majority only holds as of now 57 percent of the votes.

Sure...Hysteria may very well be a fun scheme for simple people..BUT it should be in the free leauge or in a special hysteria/aerial leauge.The fools could go there while the quality of classic is greatly enhanced..Now if shopper would be removed in addition to intermidiate/luckless being added would make the classic leauge so much better..

Democracy is a bad way to rule a " proffesional " leauge Monkey..Huge scores of so easily manipulated fools can not produce something good. A wise leader or group who has a vantage point is going to have the abillity to make optimal descissions. SO unless someone can get atleast 50 wins in a row in hysteria while not noob bashing hysteria should be kicked out of the window. If you will truly base in on the dumb masses i will lose my respect for you...

I am also very dissapointed in you Komo..I expected you to have a wiser disposition.....

My 1v1 win streak is still active for BnG btw, but even my streak is not right, I haven't played all the best players enough times. If every player was forced to play top players of their best scheme regulary, I have a strong feeling the highest streak for any scheme would be no higher than 15-25, and win % would be way under 90%. I could never ever reach this streak for BnG again, 1 main reason being I still play based on general instinct and so many players are notching now, i'd be lucky to get 30-40 wins without losing one now I reckon, plus I doubt i'll ever be as good as I was.

No one is as good at anything on WA as the TuS Statistics state, and it never will be because we can't make a balanced limit of games ensuring everyone plays everyone else an equal amount of times, this is another reason why the things darKz/Free/ShyGuy/etc say pisses me off, they are talking about "competitive" when the whole f@#!ing League balance is out the window no matter WHAT we do anyway, so we should definitely keep the League as fun and as enjoyable as possible while holding up as balanced a setup of schemes as possible, which we already have now.

Try to get 50 + wins in tus hysteria by simply playing against whoever wants to play with you in AG..Just like you did when you got that winning streak on BnG.. If you can get 50 wins in a row that way then hysteria is indeed not a scheme dependant on luck (Eventhough it will still be a horribly agonizing experience)

If you can not get 50 + wins ? Then hysteria is not as luckless as you claim......And should be bannished to a seperate leauge..

What do you mean with balance anyways ? I know that hysteria needs to go in order to improve the skill required to prevail in the leauge...I would also think ressurecting intermidiate/luckless back while getting rid of shoppa is a good idea..

Doubletime, I could easily avoid the top Hysteria players and have a good chance of winning 100/100 games, i'd definitely reach at least 90% without doubt, and that's even being rusty at the scheme.

darKz, Dota 2 has many many more players am I right? WA with such a small community, let's say, 200-500 active players, with only a handful who could beat the rest of wnet with 80%+ win ratio for their specialized schemes, except each other where the outcome is closer to 70%/60%/50%.

If we could force all participants to play each other a strict number of games, balanced with every scheme, then, and ONLY then, would this League be fair in a truly "competitive" way.

Until then, there isn't a valid enough reason to complain about Hysteria, or any other scheme, under the reason of "not being truly competitive", every single scheme has flaws, whether they are scheme flaws, difference of the technology used to play WA, to the unique abilities and intelligence of the Humans playing the game.

i said " IF YOU WHERE" playing against whoever wants to play with you in AG " This means that you will basically be givven random opponents..But if you need to have more rules then that very well..

*You are not allowed to play the same opponent more than 5 times.

*You are not allowed to avoid anyone that accepts the challenge when you ask in AG and must pick the first player to write that they are interested.

*Tied games will not count and will not break the streak.

Now go out and get them ! Get 50 wins in a row with theese rules and then we can talk...

Komo, that's like saying "there's air pollution from other sources anyway so why shouldn't we create more coal-fired power plants?" - it's just making things worse to think that way.

Solving the issue you're talking about is pretty easy (apart from the coding work, I don't know about that): No more searching for TUS games on AG; instead use a "match making" button on TUS that pairs you with a player as close as possible to your own (overall) rating, that's how it works for a dozen other competitively played games as well.

But what if a noob wants to play the best player posible and not another noob so he may move ahead towards greatness ? And are there really enough player to validate another client built for matchmaking ? 1 thing that could work is an event where a select number of players go into a leauge. And you get 3+ for a win 1+ for a draw and 0 for a loss..For example a 1 week long elite leauge and you can only play once vs the same opponent..Then the top 2 could duke it out in a showdown for the gold (Eventhough to be fair it wouldn't be needed but it would be awesome).

I personally think that a seperate topic should be created for matchmaking balance purposes..This one is focused on why Hysteria is such a horrid idea for a competitive leauge.

It was a metaphor, of course it's not exactly the same. Sigh.

We already had a match making system in TPL, the problem was that it was still allowed/possible to look for games the old fashioned way, that's why it didn't work out. If for the sake of proper competition we forced it on the players it would work flawlessly. And it is as easy as that. If you wanna play with your friends play a funner or get on their rating level and be lucky to meet them in match making.

I'm only saying there are ways to make the league more competitive than it is right now, so my question is: Is TUS a league that wants to find out who the best player of this game is (the point of a league in the first place) or is TUS a league that does whatever the majority of people want? It's a question that needs to be answered by you MonkeyIsland, before this discussion can come to a proper result. This is the exact reason why kings, presidents and other people with a lot of power exist, to make important decisions for their citizens. Just polls won't get us anywhere.

I'm only saying there are ways to make the league more competitive than it is right now, so my question is: Is TUS a league that wants to find out who the best player of this game is (the point of a league in the first place)

To be honest, I have never looked at WA in that way, i'll try my best to explain why...

When I got into WACL the 3 main schemes were Roper / BnG / Elite. No one was an expert at all 3, but together clans were formed with different players to cover all schemes.

At this time I was not interested in BnG or Elite, only Ropers & Warmers, I was not interested in who was the best all round player, all I wanted to do was play the thing I enjoy most, with friendly people of similar interests, in a competitive League and do the best I possibly could.

And nothing has changed, quite frankly... I don't care for TTRR/Elite/T17/Shoppa/WxW, but I love the adrenalin rush of playing Roper/BnG/Hysteria with players who share equal passion, and doing my best to win as much as possible.

I don't play this league to see who the best player is, I don't care who the best player is, I just want to be the best I can be and do the best I can do while having fun and a laugh at the same time, and TuS provides this.

There is nothing wrong with the Hysteria scheme, by the definition of the word "competitive", it is valid.

Just because some players take winning so seriously and they have no sense of class/dignity or style, and they choose to play Hysteria in a way that they can get the ending advantage as fast as possible does not make it lame, it's a choice, but it is not a flaw.

You can do the same thing in other schemes, most BnG players play with some respect and throw variety of shots, don't do repeats etc, some people notch and repeat the easiest shots because they want to win so much. In TTRR if player who is 1st doesn't finish all 3 worms and the last worm of the 2nd player can go half his usual speed to win, but it doesn't always happen, it's a small percentage. In T17 although there is alot of luck no one can argue that for the sake of it, shit happens and you can get extremely lucky towards the end of a game relying on what comes in the crate if you get SD wep or not. The list goes on man...

But when it comes down to it, every single scheme in Classic is fine the way it is, we do have a pretty accurate example of the best overall players, who consistently make and do well in playoffs, and we also have accurate individual scheme standings.

Just be happy with the parts you enjoy, I honestly think if TuS was ran the way you guys are talking about being "competitive" and whatnot, it wouldn't last long.

For me Hysteria is a savior to WA, it brings in so much activity and competition :)

Sense of class/dignity/style is always a matter of opinion, it has nothing to do with an actual scheme flaw(s). What the f@#! is wrong having a with "winning" mentality, it doesn't automatically count out the "fun" factor as you seem to think Komo.

"I swear man if Hyst gets removed" Lol man.

Classic schemes ain't all "fine" from competitive point(s) of view on Classic, but Hysteria deffo has the most problems, hence it gets brought up the most. Just the simple fact Intermediate still ain't part of Classic, shows how little NEEDED changes gets done on classic.

Free, what exactly is a problem? You keep saying, flaws, problems, errors, influx in the space time continuum... Where is it gonna end?

These "things" are not flaws, or problems, or errors.

The only word I can think of to describe these things, plopping 1st worms, darksiding etc, as cheap, just like throwing only 4s nades in BnG, or roping in slow-mo with your last worm in TTRR, or some people's opinion hiding on top in a Roper once you get a comfortable lead.

I can safely bet both my testicles with the right "winning mentality" ANYONE with a fully abled body, and a fully working brain, could focus on Hysteria and reach a win ratio of 80%+. Heck, i'll even throw in my scrotum...

Hysteria IS a competitive scheme, more than enough so, and fits perfectly into TuS and the way TuS runs, why can't you understand that?

The only way I see bringing Intermediate into Classic, would be to replace Elite with Intermediate, the schemes have too many similarities.

Post by: darKz on February 21, 2013, 04:32 PM
So you're saying Elite and Intermediate are "too similar", now I know why you can't see the points a lot of people made about Hysteria, you seem to just lack some general understanding. But I don't blame you. Everyone who played both Elite and Inter at a decently high level (Mablak, Random00, coste, nappy, heck even I played Inter for a while) knows that there's a huge difference in strategy and overall gameplay. Random placement vs teleports, worm selects vs no worm selects, 8 worms vs 4 worms, 1 hp sudden death vs "regular" sudden death. They're very similar alright. ;)

I'm done arguing, we're getting way off topic anyway. Just gonna wait for something to happen. Or not to happen. It's not in my hands.

"There is nothing wrong with the Hysteria scheme, by the definition of the word "competitive", it is valid. "

Stop talking slack and prove it then...If you or anyone else can meet the challenge i posted and get 50 wins in a row then fine it is competitive from an objective viewpoint.

From a subjective viewpoint the game is very unfair. First of all what is so competitive with plopping your'e own worms n the start for worm select advantage ? Darksiding becomes extremlyeasy in hysteria because the worms are so incapable of doing anythign in 1 second.. Very often the games will linger on as one player has but 1 worm left..Where is the fun in that ? You can darkside in elite to but you have 20 seconds to do something in elite..You have greatly enhanced possibility to teleport somewhere/use rope/homing/airstrike/kami or something else in order to counter darksiders. You have a whole lot of choices and possibillities.

In BnG an aimbot can hit the opponent at anytime (Otherwise it counts as darksiding) What makes BnG interesting is our imperfections that prevent us from always hitting spot on. So eventhough i dislike BnG i will have to admit that it is a competitive scheme.

Hysteria was never meant for competitive gameplay..It was meant for funners and in a funner hysteria serves it's purpose..If the players are not interested in winning at every cost then they will not play lame.. But in a leauge when the players fight with blood and tears to win then it is another story and it will zap the fun away from the game..

So competitive hysteria is not fun...There are not enough skill elements involved....The playing field is to even in short...It is easy for a noob to just hide for 10 minutes or so...And then wait untill their less patient opponent exposes themselve.

Intermidiate is vastly diffrent from Elite you fool ! I would say that a combination of both would be the way worms is meant to be as in elite it can be hard to hit the foe well in merely 20 seconds but in intermidiate you got 45 seconds/WS..So Intermidiate is lightside favoured while Elite darkside favoured so mixing them for a balanced scheme would be interesting...

They share too many similarities:

T17/Elite
BnG/Hysteria
WxW/TTRR

Here we have 2 of each "category" (the way I think of it in my head).

Hence why I said take away Elite and replace with Intermediate because they share alot of similarities, if you added Intermediate and took away Hysteria, then the "strategic" thinkers would be at an advantage with the picking system.

I did not say they are exactly the same you plum ! f@#!ing learn to read or something, and pick up a dictionary and learn what certain words mean...

Are you doing this on purpose ?`Elite and intermidiate Luckless are NOT simmiliar..Eventhough the same weopens are used..The same health are bestowed for every worm.

Many people who disslike intermidiate like Elite....And many others strongly feel like intermidiate is the vastly superior scheme of the 2.

Elite=Darkside

Intermidiate Luckless=Lightside

This is propably the best way to explain this to someone like you.For example there are many simmilarities between whine sorts..And they may be brewed using almost the same method..Yet they may be very diffrent in taste and function.. I could easily say that 2 wines that are brewed the same way are " too simmiliar " because i do not know much about whine.. While a whine expert may rightfully view them as radically diffrent.

Playing intermidiate and Elite competitively is a vastly diffrent experience..In inter it is far more important to know how to kill a group of worms as you will rarely kill more than 1 enemy worm in one sweep while playing elite.. In Intermidiate starting is often a far greater advantage than it is in Elite..iIntermidiate requires alot of wisdom about how the weopens function..While Elite requires quick descissions and more BnG while intermidiate rarely demands bng.

Intermidiate requires more patience than Elite does. Also because of the 3 WS that are availible to players the strategy in Elite and Intermidiate are diffrent since you know what worm will mvoe in Elite you can make a strategy faster...But you have less time to think. In intermidiate you must make sure that the enemy can not cause to much dammage and protect your'e own worms .

No rope knock vs Rope knock brings a radical diffrence....In intermidiate you can kill worms by ropeknocking them. You can rope knmock your'e own worms into safety and pile enemy worms up. In elite you can not pile worms in that way and therefore you are less powerfull and that makes it easier to protect your'e own worm in Elite as you know that they can not ropeknock you off so they can bat you in the water.

Manuel placement vs Random palcement also makes a huge diffrence... Being able to kill atleast 1 worm in the first turn in Intermidiate is very common while rare in Elite as playess will try to place their worms so they can not be innitially killed.

Lack of mobillity vs Almost divine mobillity makes a huge diffrence..In elite you have 20 seconds/2 weak ropes/No jetpack...In intermidiate you have 45 seconds/5 stronger ropes/Jetpack/Low gravity.. IN almost any open map you can take your'e selves from point A to point B and attack unless digging is required..Especially with WS so hiding is much harder in Intermidiate.. In elite you are very limited and trying to attack enemy worms with 2 rope swings is a very risk choice..In short you are very limited in your'e options in Elite compared to Intermidiate. Instant mines also adds to make Elite much harder for those who wishes to traverse large areas.

Playing elite/intermidiate to win are 2 radically diffrent experiences... ANd both of them have very little luck in them (Provided the intermidiate is set to luckless). So intermidiate is unlike hysteria a competitive scheme that needs to be added..

I haven't fully read every new post to this thread.  Komo said the league is already so unbalanced so we shouldn't bother trying to fix it... Komo should not be allowed in serious discussions with a comment like that lol

Your'e point is that "Elite and intermidiate  are to simmiliar and shouldn't both be in classic " While MY point is " Elite and Intermidiate are very diffrent andboth are worthy of being in the classic leaugE "

Your'e point is that " Hysteria does not depend on luck and is fun when played competitively and therefore it is a worthy skill for classic leauge  where as my opinion is that " hysteria relies to heavily on luck, is very frustrating when atleast one of the parties play to win and was only intended for casual use "

I even gave you a challenge to get 50 + on Hysteria with a few rules ( No more than 5 times vs same player and you have to be in Ag asking accepting first best person that wants to play tus hysteria vs you and tied games will not break your'e streak). Yet you have not accepted it..Either accept the challenge/Refere me to someone else who has done it or yield and admit that it will be nearly imposible given that hysteria relies to heavily on luck.

It has been done in Intermidiate/BnG as far as i know.. And im sure that it is posible also in TTRR and Elite (Though it still might not happend because there isn't really any active players that tower above the rest). I do not believe anyone will do this in a scheme like Shopper or Team 17 or WxW because as long as your'e opponent has basic skills there is alot of luck involved..

Implementing a matchmaking system would be great but very hard.. Just picking of hysteria and adding intermidiate(Luckless) Would be easy.

So everything that i said has something to do with your'e arguements.. You need to yield since you have been backed in a corner with no way to get out..Not just trying to evade the argument.. So are you going to accept my challenge and go get 50 tus hysteria wins in a row under my terms ? OR will you keep on being this childish ?

Sincerly...

When has MonkeyIsland ever said "The purpose of Classic is to show who the best overall wormer is"?

The League is there simply because people enjoy playing a bunch of balanced schemes against each other, it's that simple...

Where and when did you dismiss this point because I must have missed it, the point I was trying to make with that little off-topic conversation with darKz was IF Intermediate was going to be introduced to Classic, the best scheme to replace would be Elite... So as far as I am concerned, you are wrong because you didn't dismiss the point I just made before, because as far as I am aware, i've never even said this before...

DT - 1st you say "challenge for 50 wins vs any opponents I choose" now you say "challenge for 50 wins against 1st person who wants tus hysteria against me" you can't even make up your mind the conditions of your own stupid challenge...

I've already said I don't have the time to ever play WA again the way I used to dedicate myself to BnG, so I won't do it. And of course YOU rely on luck, because you are pathetic at Hysteria/BnG. Music production is my #1 priority in life right now, I will never have the time available that I did when I was dedicated to BnG.

Besides, anyone who gets 50+ for any scheme these days is either noob bashing/avoiding or incredibly lucky.

Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Doubletime on February 21, 2013, 07:20 PM
Anyone who gets 50 in a row is not incredibily lucky/noob bashing if played with my terms.. I already gave the terms in a previus post.

I admit that im bad at BnG/Hysteria no problem because i do not have some kind of overinflated ego..I can admit that someone else is better than me..

Also if music production is your'e priority how come you spend this time on a forum not related to music arguing about a sport/game that you will no longer dedicate time to while dedicating time to it ? A casual player would ussually not bother with an online forum about the game..Only those who care a little bit extra..

So worms is a priority in your'e life anyways i guess ? Otherwise you would be more interested in trying to share your'e music...

I think you should yield in this debatte..Concur that you where wrong and that Hysteria is not a good choice for Classic and focus on making sweet music...

Make up your mind...

Whoopdee doo...

I have multiple computers and I can multi-task, I am working on music at the same time as browsing forums, while I listen to stuff I just done I can quickly check forums it only takes a few seconds to read, and I am a very fast typist.

WA is very special for me, I will always have time for this game, I wouldn't be who I am without this game, and several players on WA have helped me on my path of music production as well as inspired me, if it wasn't for this game, i'd have gave up on music production a long time ago probably.

The only people who are wrong in this thread are those trying to state opinions as facts, free'n'co, acting like personal dislikes are competitive flaws, it cracks me up really lol...

Post by: Free on February 21, 2013, 07:40 PM
Yeah I'm done with this thread also. The reason I mentioned Intermediate is because the scheme utilizes most of allround skills an allround wormer can have, so it's natural to try and make it as a classic scheme even though I understand the problem with bo3 taking too much time, but with effort, I'm sure TUS could solve it.

I like this community too much to get too bothered anymore and get any more personal about this.

But in all seriousness, I'm out, peace. :)

Since noone is able to pull consequences, I will do so myself. I want this issue to be resolved by TUS staff by making a decision if Hyst stays the way it is (with reasoning) or if it will be changed in the near future.

Untill then I will not play any TUS league games anymore, sorry Q!

Post by: Doubletime on February 21, 2013, 07:58 PM
Are you admitting that

A Hysteria is not suitable for proffesional play

B Intermidiate should be added while Elite stays

Also i think Anubis option should matter greatly..Afterall 5 people who know almost nothing about whine should not be able to outvote 1 person who is a whine expert that travelled france/South Africa/Spain/Germany who is nearly omniviscient when it comes to Alcoholic beverages....Becuase that would be plain stupidity..

NOT EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE AN EQUAL VOTE !!!!!! We should select the top 19 players who love the game the most/are best at it and then let them vote..

We could base it on results from the classic leauge...

You are right Shyguy. But even if you analize hysteria in a discussion and explain why it sucks it is stila subjective statement..Even if it is obvius..You need to deal with absolutes in order for it to be "Objective " which would carry more weight..

Tallying votes from the top players to se what they think would be more " objective " as if 80 percent of the top players want hysteria gone we know that hysteria absolutely does not fit in with a competitive leauge...

But yeah Hysteria sucks..

Of course we are using reason, MI/D1 wrapped up everything nicely a while back but you guys still say the same things, our opinions are just different from yours that's all.

Kai, you can't be serious? I hate people who play lame in BnG, I don't really like T17/Elite/TTRR/Shoppa/WxW, but I still play... Cmon man don't be a sissy lol...

You guys don't like Hysteria the way it is, we love it the way it is, you would lose more interest by changing it, than leaving it the way it is.

Also, if this League was run the way you guys wanted it, it'd be the most boring League ever created...

And where exactly are you lot getting your definition of the word "competitive" cuz it really isn't what it says in the dictionary, you are making stuff up saying "it has competitive flaws"...



competitive:

1.
of, pertaining to, involving, or decided by competition: competitive sports; a competitive examination.
2.
well suited for competition; having a feature that makes for successful competition: a competitive price.
3.
having a strong desire to compete or to succeed.


^^ Hysteria is competitive, anything you say against this is a lie, don't kid yourself please lol...

I would never refuse to play Hyst in a league environment. But I can refuse to support this passive TUS behavior.

Hysteria is not meant for competitive play..It does not have " features " that make for sucsessfull competition.. It is too based on luck and those of lesser skills have way to good chances.. Therefore per this criteria Hysteria not a good competitive scheme..

You must have missed the thread where math was used to prove that hysteria was broken.


You guys don't like Hysteria the way it is, we love it the way it is, you would lose more interest by changing it, than leaving it the way it is.

Also, if this League was run the way you guys wanted it, it'd be the most boring League ever created...


This is what I'm talking about.  This is why you drive people crazy in "debates."   You provide ungrounded statements and present them as an argument. 

"You guys don't like Hysteria the way it is"  - That's your opinion that you're presenting as fact, has nothing to do with anything we've said, and is actually false.  We like hysteria as a scheme outside of the classic like, like boom race and mine madness.

"We love it the way it is." - Again, doesn't provide anything insightful to the discussion, just another pointless opinion

"You would lose more interest by changing it" - 1. No? 2. Where is your proof? 3. If this statement is true, why does that even matter to the discussion?  Just another opinion statement you deliver as truth.  You can't even possibly prove that your statement is true unless we did change things, so for now it's just another pointless opinion piece.

"Also, if this League was run the way you guys wanted it, it'd be the most boring League ever created..."  - Another opinion that you state as fact, another ungrounded statement, another sentence you can't prove AT ALL, so again, why do you say such things that don't matter at all and present them as an argument?  Even if that statement were true, it has nothing to do with the topic of hysteria.

Post by: DarkOne on February 21, 2013, 09:19 PM
Wordy reply, Anubis ;D

And ignore the "scheme is for noobs" comments. I am not arguing with such arguments and I believe Hysteria deserves to be in the league but it needs to tweaked but the 60% against that are against any change at all. I would welcome any alteration you guys can suggest and try it out for a season.

I will adhere to this advice, so that saves me from responding to the last 3 pages  ;D
As for the alteration of the scheme: I already have my suggestion out: randomsteria. My suggestion has been out ever since I submitted the scheme and hosted a couple of cups with it (that's 2 years ago) and I still think it would improve the scheme as played in leagues. I think it would enormously decrease chesteria - but not make it impossible to abuse turn order (I still think it's a valid tactic. It's just overused). You just need to pay a bit more attention to the turn order. The lowered sd time in that scheme was done because almost everyone can finish all their turns in time, so the 10 second buffer has become too big. With lowered sd time, triggering sd actually becomes part of the tactics and can considerably speed up gameplay if it comes down to a teleport race.

Responding and telling me you (TUS, not you in particular) don't ignore this issue is quite humorous because this is like what? The 10th time the same results and/or discussion has been a major topic in TUS. It "feels" ignored, I know you guys react to it but it feels ignored because you don't really make any decision of weight regarding this.

The reason for this is that in most of those threads, it usually ends up becoming a yelling contest with demands of hysteria being removed. Hysteria isn't going anywhere.

You actually make a good point, why are there not so many threads about Shopper,BnG etc. Maybe it's because there really isn't such a huge antipathy towards those schemes after all. If it would even be close to the same level of Hyst (40:60) resistance, then I am sure it would have the same outrage every now and then, apparently it doesn't.

There were actually quite some threads about BnG if I recall correctly, so that's not entirely true :)

If a major issue in any institution gets postponed again and again I simply get disappointed by the administration. Gather the information we (for and against Hysteria) already gave you numerous times in this and the countless other threads and then decide for your own what you think is best. Make a clear statement why YOU at TUS staff think Hysteria deserves to be in Classic League, or why it does not. So far all I see is: Hysteria is most popular, majority is slim but still majority so it stays.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's how leagues have always been decided. Forts used to be a main league scheme, but it got dumped because it wasn't played enough. WxW wasn't a main league scheme until it got played a lot. Shopper wasn't in the original 3 either, but it was a mainstay scheme, so it got added. That's not going to change because people get their rage on.
If you're looking for no luck and only skill schemes, then the main league should consist of TTRR, bungeerace, boomrace (with /boomrace on so first turner doesn't get an unfair advantage), battlerace (same, so it's not really battlerace anymore) and sheeprace and maybe we'll allow elite and BnG since wind rarely is a deciding factor (though it does help of course): not likely though since first turn does help in getting better spots (that's for the hysteria-isn't-all-skill-so-it-shouldn't-be-a-league-game crowd).

Lets just discuss the topic into oblivion and the "haters" are gone for another 2-3 months, then we do the same, is that what you think is a healthy league administration where a really close call in votes and important topic to many people doesn't get the (imo) appropriate attention.

Perhaps next time the "haters" should try their best not to fill the entire thread full of "GET RID OF HYSTERIA" rage and start to try to find a solution to the problems with a scheme.

To me it is a totally broken scheme. ffs we've broken the scheme down to *every 4 notches changes one worm sprite*. Is it me being so close-minded that I can't comprehend that a competition could be done on the sprite level and down to notching guides like a math multiply table? Isn't it the same others can't comprehend self-suicide/telepile could count as a form of competition too?

Some people are just sick of the game but cant leave it, forever. I guess this community is just sick. Too many years and life is going on. One game, many leagues in many many years.

Its interesting that most of the posts in this thread are not from the active players. So why they care so much about tus? I'm sure they wont play tus league if hysteria gets removed. Not the most of them. But we do lose a lot of active hysteria players. They wont accept an hysteria league, that just would be a joke to them.

You can talk about some changes but the schemes must stay, in my opinion.

And about this luck conversation. Where's the problem there are some schemes with more luck in it? Even Elite needs some luck like almost all schemes. Its the samplesize. You also can play poker on a competitive level even its luck based. But at the end, after many many games, the better will stay at top.

So its possible to play hysteria at a high competitive level, its a matter of samplesize.

Accept this 60:40 situation on votings. Those 40% has to respect this. Other schemes wouldnt get a better ratio, once again. TTRR would be about 50:50 and thats a 0% luck scheme! Other 50% has to respect that too (also me, and I only dont play classic league cause of that damn ttrr!)  ::)

Who cares? Nobody, its my problem! Too much egoists here..  :(

Holy shit, you really can't go one post without your cocky this-is-the-way-it-is attitude, can you?

"you guys don't like hysteria the way it is" IS A FACT"' - It's not a fact, you're actually dead wrong... if it were a fact, I'd be making suggestions to change the scheme, not remove it from classic league and into the free league WHICH I'VE ACTIVELY PLAYED IN BEFORE.  I've said I've enjoyed playing hysteria before.. that's always been my stance; I can just recognize what schemes are classic league worthy... IT IS POSSIBLE to like hysteria and still want it removed. 

" it's the reason you are posting here in the 1st place..."  Once again, you're bullying the conversation by implying you know something to be true, and you know what, it's really f@#!ing annoying when you do that and talk for others like you just did.  The "reason" you think I'm posting is false, first of all, but to outright claim my motivations with such confidence is extremely arrogant.  I'm posting because I believe hysteria belongs in the free league, not because you think I don't like the scheme.  You're constantly shoving your inaccurate 'truths' down other people's throats.  You're downright toxic to any form of legitimate debate and if I were a mod you'd be muted by now...

Can't any mod see how Komo constantly bullies people with his 'matter of fact' assumptions and statements?  I've quoted like 6 of them in my last 2 posts... Can the mods not think for themselves and just realize Komo is just spouting bullshit and ban him from the thread already?  Jesus christ, I don't even care about the hysteria topic anymore, someone just needs to remove Komo because he can't for the life of him perpetuate healthy communication...

I read up to page 23 and I've had enough.

Basically what I get from this thread is, ShyGuy is 100% right. (Free 80%)
And the rest of you are f@#!ing idiots with no valid arguements.

Hysteria was obviously put into this league because the creator was butt buddies with Monkey Island.

Sometimes you have to tell your friend that they're just simply wrong.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ ALL OF SHYGUY'S POSTS, TO SEE HOW STUPID YOU REALLY ARE.

ALSO, KOMODO, YOU ARE A DOLT.

Maybe it's time to lock this thread. What's even more sad than not doing anything about Hyst, is that we, as community are getting more separated, this is just one of the prime thread examples of how some scheme/league issue is addressed and then it becomes a flame war.

In theory, let's have everyone vote and make a difference sounds f@#!ing great, it really doesn't work in our community, we got more than enough reference experiences over the years.

Have a council that makes decisions instead open polls/threads, maybe we stick tighter as a community then.

No one has listened to any of the valid points yourself and ShyGuy have said.
The best response so far has been, "you suck at it, so mad".  It is really rather childish.

Said it a million times, I'll say it again, hysteria comes down to 1v1, which is essentially a BNG and guess what.. we already have BNG.

Breeze we don't talk like that here. It is your very first time here mate, I'm gonna pass.

Hysteria was obviously put into this league because the creator was butt buddies with Monkey Island.

If you're gonna come so strong, shouldn't you at least get your facts straight?
Hysteria is created by Run, the creator of WSE. I've never had even one line conversation with him. I haven't met him and he is not even registered on TUS. Hysteria got added to TUS, because of its popularity back then, which I haven't regret to this very day.

Doubletime,
Also bungee race is not luckless...The wind can make you recover faster after a fall and thus make the diffrence between first and second place...

What? Did you read that somewhere? See this is one of the common problems we have. People try to criticize the scheme(s) they haven't put enough time on. It reminds me of worms reloaded people who were claiming "who needs rope, it was ruining the game play anyway".

Getting back to topic,
If I'm about to summarize the flaws about Hysteria I've heard over the years, it is that you can suicide, gain advantage using telepile and no matter what, most likely it would be 1 on 1 at the end and a lucky shot wins the game. So for this to work, you need to tighten up your BnG skills to have more chance on the end lucky shot, nothing else is required.
I've begged for this, I will do this again, PLEASE someone illustrate this to me/community? Casso has already agreed to play. Someone please play with Casso and post the replays here? ShyGuy?

I want this topic to move on. It won't if we're just going on circles pointing the hypothetical flaws. Let's continue this with some examples?
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Doubletime on February 22, 2013, 08:52 AM
Monkey no scheme is 100 percent luckless..

Imagine if 2 players are in a tight buneerace on a long map..Both of the players make the exact same flaw just before the end..One of the players get a strong luck wind to the right so they can save time.. Quickly get to the same obstacle and try again..The other player gets a strongwind to the left and has to spend 6 seconds catching up.

Then the first player just barely makes it to the finish with not a second to spare..The second player who has the exact same ammount of skill will pass the obstascle as well but he will fall short with 5-6 seconds because of the unfortunate wind.

Ofc bungeerace is virtually luckless but nothing is truly luckless in worms...Even if you take TTRR with no wind the second player still has an advantage as they can go slowly and safely to the finish if the first players plops 3 times and he 2 times...So being second is an advantage in TTRR even with no other luck elements..

So bungee race is not100 percent luckless but it is close enough i would say..On the other hand it is to dependant on maps and knowing a certain map can give you a huge advantage..So i would say it is not suitable as a classsic scheme...

Doubletime, there's no parachute in BungeeRace (https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/scheme-74/), ergo wind have no effect on this scheme. You shouldn't discuss schemes you're not familiar with.
That was the point I was referring to in my previous post.

I will play with Casso but only if the challenge terms are met (hysteria gets moved/modified instantly if 40% win ratio), I will not see the trouble otherwise or play more than Casso.

The scenario you illustrated is very common if telecow and darkside zook tactics is used from the very beginning, so yes it most often than not becomes 1v1 war IF other player decides to play "chesteria" You can take a look at dt's playoff hysterias, I'm pretty sure that most (if not all) of them ended on 1v1 situation eventually and usually after a long painful darkside zooking, there was an hour long hysteria played because Mablak was playing and he's like Random, he has the nerves to sit around and wait for the other one to make the mistake first.. it was REALLY boring to watch, ended on a teledraw and after that they had another 30-40min game.. and I think that ended on a teledraw too.

I don't know why you insist on that, you are not a demanding terrorist. We want to have some progress on our point of view on hysteria. A lot of people are following this thread, we want to have enough clue to reach a better decision. 40% win with one single player has so many flaws. Isn't that obvious?
Casso may not be in the mood. Casso would be playing for 60% of people. Isn't that stressful? Shouldn't you be more willing to go to distance if you're this much sure about it? I don't get it really. 1 set of games vs 1 single player and a decision for the whole community?

What's the trouble you're referring to? Improving your BnG skills?
Also it is not about you only, Breeze, Shyguy, Anubis etc etc and the people who think the way you do, should take the challenge and prove us wrong.

Yeah it's rather obvious you don't get it, hence the challenge ain't happening.

It's really not that hard to see that Hysteria is the most flawed scheme in Classic and something needs to be done, otherwise there wouldn't be so hard opposition.

If Hyst wasn't so popular, you guys would do something about it long time ago, so let's face it, it's a popularity issue more than scheme issue.

Edit: If you would read my posts, you would know what my "trouble" is.

And so you want 65 of us to take the challenge because we don't want Hysteria to be in Classic as it is? :D

I have accepted this challenge to prove that Hysteria is not a luck based scheme where only players who has more patience who are willing to wait a long time before the opponent makes a mistake win, but a scheme where only the best and tactical players can win.

I don't want to take such a responsibility, I risk to play even bad knowing that my defeat would remove Hyst from Classic League.

A challenge can't decide anything but can prove many things. Why don't you try to challenge more players (I already made a list several pages back). If you win 40% of games against us we can't take as an excuse that we weren't in the mood.

Post by: Statik on February 22, 2013, 01:05 PM
I voted NO, but I think hysteria is not a luck based scheme. The problem it is the most played scheme (https://www.tus-wa.com/leagues/seasons-info/) every season. It's easy to learn (unlike most other classic schemes), but hard to master, that's why many people prefer to play hysteria again and again rather than improve in other schemes.

Of course, removing hysteria can solve that problem, but be prepared for a decrease of activity or another "lucky" scheme domination (hello shoppa?).

Instead we should motivate people to pick different schemes, probably by changing the point system (I don't know how much hysteria players care about points).

Here are some thoughts (don't take 'em too serious):


1. A scheme is picked randomly. So only legendary luckers and best all rounders will be able to manage to get into PO.
2. Bonus points for playing different schemes. E.g. hysteria+ttrr+elite 3-0 winning streak gives +50 points.
3. Every season there are 1-3 schemes that gives extra points, e.g. elite points are multiplied by 2.
4. In playoffs there are no picks. Just a set of 5 schemes without shopper, hysteria etc. The order is random.

See allrounder league! Not exactly as radical as this idea, but a good golden mean, IMO. It does take in count the variety of schemes played by the player, AFAIK. And I think that's enough of motivation, no need for extra points for certain schemes per season, that can end up in varying activity.
The picking system of allrounder league PO is a tougher story, but it's good, I think. Not sure if just playing all schemes (of the league) would be better or worse.

Then if you don't enjoy playing the scheme, because I am guessing, you don't find it suitable to your personal standards of what is "worthy" enough in the League, and you have a chance here to do something about it by accepting a small challenge you only need to dedicate around 1 month of your life too, you will still have enough time to do other important things in your life though, and you can't be bothered? Because you don't even want to play this scheme?

So why then are you even bothering to post a thread to do something to change Hysteria, you talk the talk but you are not willing to walk the walk... You understand your offer isn't fullproof, so we offered a counter which is pretty valid imo... This is your chance?

I don't think turn order abuse should be eliminated entirely. I mean, it's even a valid tactic in elite. It would be silly to remove it from hysteria.
But at this point, I'd say we could give a lot of things a try in cups (oslt).

Free, you can prove Komo wrong by playing in the challenge. Thing is: more games means more reliable numbers. Somebody who scores 100% with 2 games could be lucky. Somebody who scores 100% in 20 games is very good. Somebody who scores 100% in 50 games is, well, Mablak.

Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: ShyGuy on February 22, 2013, 05:32 PM
My argument has always been early game and mid game in hysteria is absolutely meaningless... The last time there was a big hysteria thread, I told people to look at Komo's recent hysteria replays, and my point was proven... No matter what you do early and mid game, you gain very little, if not any, advantage... doesn't that seem whack for a scheme that's supposed to be "strategic" and "skillful?"  Look at the majority of hysteria games, it's almost always a 1v1... For a scheme where the goal is to KILL the enemy team's worms, how come in hysteria there's no benefit and sometimes a disadvantage to killing the first 3 worms?  There's no advantage to killing your opponents worms... in a scheme where the goal is to kill your opponents worms. 

My other point from the old hysteria thread - the 1 second turn time highly limits creativity and move choice... there's only so much you can do in 1 second, which is why the game usually turns into a 1v1 bng fest because what else are you going to do? The 1 second turn time also restricts you from protecting your own worms, which is why rotation rape can be abused...

The scheme basically forces behavior and limits creativity... if it didn't, why do so many hysterias play out the same way?? Answer me that.  Think about it.  If your opponent kills his own worm, it's now 3v4... Here are your options:
1. You can kill one of your own worms next time to prevent him from dealing mass amounts of damage over a course of turns through rotation rape. 
2. You can try to move all your worms close together for protection, although mathematically if he were to still pile you, he'd come out on top in terms of damage dealt.
3. You can choose to just go with the flow and not really make any counter move, but if you do this, you'll get rotation raped.

Those are your three options; of course very special and unique options may arise occasionally.  But look, the enemy lost a worm, the goal is to eliminate all his worms, so how come something that's supposed to build towards a goal just creates a disadvantage for yourself?

Let's look at option 3.  When playing hysteria casually, this is the option most people take, and that's why hysteria being played more casually and for fun would be a better place for it. As soon as a worm dies, you don't see people starting to knock their own worms off or pile close in one little area of the map for the entire game... they just stay put and try to do fun stuff.  The scheme doesn't force your behavior when you play it casually with nothing at stake.

Bottom line: When you're playing hysteria as a high stakes games, everyone's moves are forced because of they don't react in the traditional way, they are just going to take tons of damage and lose.  DO NOT MISTAKE THIS AS BEING A TACTICAL ASPECT OF THE GAME.  Remember, an enemy worm died (an event that is supposed to push you to victory because it works towards the goal of killing all their worms) but it forces your hand, if not you get raped... that's a clear sign of a broken scheme, I don't know how much clearer it can get.

Think about it like you were just creating the hysteria scheme.  What are your goals for a scheme that has 1 second turn time?  Why is it called hysteria? The goals are to kill all the enemy team worms, it's called hysteria because it's supposed to be hectic and crazy because you only have 1 second to attack... does anyone dispute that?  The goal is to kill enemy worms, but there's no incentive to actually do that; it's called hysteria because it's supposed to be crazy, but all the games play out the same way, with the exact couple of tactics used every time with no creativity or thought... The goals of the scheme have not been met, IT'S NOT WORTHY OF BEING PLAYED COMPETITIVELY... Take worms and hysteria out of the picture and just look at game design philosophically - Your game goals you had in mind are not being met and/or are being met with negative, unintentional repercussions.

Yes, it's true that hysteria has some strategy; HOWEVER, it's a problem when you HAVE to use the SAME strategy every time or else you'll simply lose.  It leaves no room for variety, and I don't know how anyone can argue this - the proof is in thousands of hysteria replays where the same shit happens every game.

It basically boils down to a 1v1 pussy fest where you can win simply by a fluke lucky shot; after all, you only get 1 second to aim, a lot of the times it's going to be a luckyshotGG nade or petrol that wins you the game... don't deny it, it's happened to damn near everyone probably more than once... is that what we really want as a competitive league scheme? Because to me, that sounds very uncreative, very low skill cap, boring, and unreliable to determine who is best at the game.  A scheme like Aerial (a balanced Aerial scheme), which I believe had the same intended game design goals as hysteria, is a much better demonstrator of a scheme that fixes everything wrong with competitive hysteria and turns it into a dynamic, strategic, and skillful scheme worthy of the classic league.

This is true; however, elite is not burdened with 1 second turn time where rotation rape is often uncountered and pulled off with ease.  A scheme like Aerial, 3 second turn time, keeps the craziness of hysteria while still allowing the option of rotation rape but gives the defender a better chance at countering it

And I say allrounder league is up and running. And it's well thought-out. It will probably need some fining, but only after people realize it's quality and start designing their scheme picking style for it instead of classic league, generating representative sample for statistics doing so.

Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: TheKomodo on February 22, 2013, 05:49 PM
Shyguy, at the same time as everything you mentioned, we also use the time early-mid game to secure the best positions possible on the map, or try and force opponent to weaker spots on the map.

Considering how accurate and consistent some players are at shooting with 1s turntime, myself included, and being aware of how accurate our opponents are, it's our job to secure a hide protecting ourselves from such "lucky shots", and with most of the better Hysteria players, these shots are not luck, it's experience and memory, it's just a matter of time before they get their shot right, this isn't luck, it's luck when it's someone who doesn't know what they are doing, and EVEN IF a complete noob beats a skilled player, I am very sure the skilled player made mistakes or missed a crucial shot.

You say it comes down to a 1v1 sillyfest? I've seen Elites come down to 1v1 fest waiting for opponent to make a mistake or manage to get a "lucky" grenade in or something. T17 comes down to 1v1 and "let's hope we get SD weapon in a crate", but same as Hysteria, waiting for opponent to make a mistake, or go for the shot if you have a chance.

Why does it matter how many different strategies there are available for a scheme? There is only 1 for TTRR - Finish faster than your opponent. There is only 1 for BnG - Kill your opponent before he kills you, there isn't anything special you can do in those schemes, so why is this such a problem? If those schemes only have 1 strategy, and they are both highly competitive and skilled, so is Hysteria. The same logic of a "lucky shot" can win a BnG or an Elite or a T17, or even a Shopper or a WxW if it manages to plop or put on a mine by accident... These are acceptable, why not Hysteria?

I really do think some people just don't have what it takes to play Hysteria competitively.

I think Hysteria is definitely worthy of being in Classic.

Free tone it down a little bit? You haven't been warned here. Let's keep it that way?

It's Komo dragging people down to his level with his stupid ass comments, I've obviously made my conditions pretty clear, and they are not met and I'm not going to torture myself by playing any more lamesteria than I really need to. I'm not the public enemy #1 that has problems with Hysteria and I made myself pretty clear multiple times that I'm not going to play more than 1 top player simply because of my own well being and then "Mr. I know Everything because I say so" comes and tries to make me look like I'm avoiding something when I was the first one to put myself on the line.

The challenge would just be the cherry on top of why Hysteria should be moved/changed as scheme, and what those 10 games would show more than anything is that how lame and boring effective Hysteria tactics really are. I'm experienced enough as a default player and seen and played enough Hysterias to see the obvious flaws. 1 second is simply not enough. There's so many good posts by ShyGuy or people in previous thread trying to explain this already, it's not like I'm the first one trying to start some kind of revolution here.

Post by: ShyGuy on February 22, 2013, 06:39 PM
Are you going to try to fix the problem or perhaps read any of the 20 times I mentioned randomsteria, ShyGuy?
You just posted a post that would put Komo to shame and did nothing but reiterate what problem you have. We get it. The sooner you realise we are actually making propositions in this very thread for at least 10 pages, the sooner things can actually change.

Or did you just propose putting aerial in the classic league? Bit too drastic if you ask me.

Some people still don't believe anything is wrong with hysteria as Komo just proved with his last post.

I used to be in favor of randomsteria, DarkOne, but the more I think about it, the less I like it.  I don't want to completely remove rotation advantage from the game, just make it more risk for the reward.  I don't like the idea of random turn order because:
1. You can still try rotation rape, which is good; however, you'd be relying on the random turn order for whether or not it will work out... You can't control the random turn order, so I don't like the idea of being countered or allowed a certain strat based off of a random factor you can't control, do you understand what I'm saying?  If I decide to telepile, the risk does go up because of random turn order, but if it does thwart me, it's not like the enemy team did anything to counter me, they just got fortunate with the turn order... there was no special move or skill they had to do, the turn order just happened to be in their favor. I hope I'm explaining this well enough. 
2. Random turn order makes it harder for you to organize moves within your own team because you don't know the order of your own team.  If you're setting stuff up, it's highly reliant on getting a good turn order.  It would be interesting if you could see your turn order but the enemy can't, but that's a discussion for another day.


Adding random turn order still doesn't fix the fundamental problem with hysteria, which is the 1 second turn time that breaks the scheme and allows for abuse in the scheme.  It's the 1 second turn time that makes the game design goals of hysteria not work.  So yes, Darkone, like I've pushed for before, I would like to see a 3 second hysteria variant like Aerial to replace the scheme.


You say it comes down to a 1v1 sillyfest? I've seen Elites come down to 1v1 fest waiting for opponent to make a mistake or manage to get a "lucky" grenade in or something. T17 comes down to 1v1 and "let's hope we get SD weapon in a crate", but same as Hysteria, waiting for opponent to make a mistake, or go for the shot if you have a chance.

Why does it matter how many different strategies there are available for a scheme? There is only 1 for TTRR - Finish faster than your opponent. There is only 1 for BnG - Kill your opponent before he kills you, there isn't anything special you can do in those schemes, so why is this such a problem? If those schemes only have 1 strategy, and they are both highly competitive and skilled, so is Hysteria. The same logic of a "lucky shot" can win a BnG or an Elite or a T17, or even a Shopper or a WxW if it manages to plop or put on a mine by accident... These are acceptable, why not Hysteria?


The fact that you're now placing my argument for other schemes shows you just don't understand or comprehend what I'm talking about.  I specifically said why the game mechanics of HYSTERIA run contrary to the game design goals of HYSTERIA.  My points will then obviously not apply to the other schemes. 

hysteria is supposed to be a default schemes where you use a variety of weapons in a strategic manner to kill the enemy worms and win the game.  These goals aren't met currently.
ttrr is supposed to show pure skill and demonstrate who the faster roper is.  The goals of that scheme are currently met. 

I'm not going to explain the differences between hysteria and every scheme, you should be able to figure it out.. i'm tired of typing long ass explanations just for you

Post by: MonkeyIsland on February 22, 2013, 06:47 PM
ShyGuy, every scheme put in a competitive environment, over time it gets ridiculed.


Don't think any new scheme like Aerial would skip that. Schemes in leagues, get chewed down to bits. That's why in my point of view, Team17 is the best scheme holding up.

Bottom line: When you're playing hysteria as a high stakes games, everyone's moves are forced because of they don't react in the traditional way, they are just going to take tons of damage and lose.  DO NOT MISTAKE THIS AS BEING A TACTICAL ASPECT OF THE GAME.  Remember, an enemy worm died (an event that is supposed to push you to victory because it works towards the goal of killing all their worms) but it forces your hand, if not you get raped... that's a clear sign of a broken scheme, I don't know how much clearer it can get.

You're misreading a simple logic. The goal is to kill enemy worms at the end of the game. How you accomplish that has nothing to do with this. If you plan to get behind and use that to kill all the enemy worms, then who cares? Insisting on mid game result must be a reflection on the final goal, just closes your mind to see more opportunities.

Yes, it's true that hysteria has some strategy; HOWEVER, it's a problem when you HAVE to use the SAME strategy every time or else you'll simply lose.  It leaves no room for variety, and I don't know how anyone can argue this - the proof is in thousands of hysteria replays where the same shit happens every game.

That is correct. But there are more classic schemes fit into that. Elite is more strategical than Hysteria. But the way you talk about variety, Elite is not the king of schemes. How many Elite games do you want me to point to that the first turns are just shotguns/axes? How many high level Elite games turn into Forts because nobody dares to invade?

Every scheme has its flaws and it's easy to write them down here. As I've said before, if this discussion's gonna progress any further, we need some real games.
Personally I don't like Hysteria the way I used to. It is just an annoying scheme to me now. But to get it removed, somebody's gotta be willing to go to distance. Looking down on the rest of the community, is not the way to do it. while you're on that, please add BnG to the removal list. Thanks :)

Shy, what makes you think that is what Hysteria is supposed to be? I think you are wrong, and I will be very surprised if you are right, considering the scheme is 1s turntime lol...

As far as I see it, it's supposed to be a scheme about quick thinking, doing the right thing at the right time, accuracy/consistency with 1s to aim/shoot with.

For example:

You take on Casso.

Someone else takes on Random00.


Or if not all these people can play, there are few others of equal skill. How about that? Then this way you only have to play the amount of games you wanted?

If I only have to play 10 games, I guess I can volunteer if needed also, if we can get 5 sets of 10 games done with the average joe Vs top player, that would be a good estimate I think.

If this happened, and there were 5 sets, and for example these were results:

Set A - Pro 8 / Joe 2
Set B - Pro 9 /  Joe 1
Set C - Pro 6 /  Joe 4
Set D - Pro 7 /  Joe 3
Set E - Pro 8 / Joe 2

We could say, well Pro "C"  still won 60% of his games, and the rest won 70% 80% 80% & 90%, so Hysteria stays the way it is.

I think we would perhaps need a result of 3 players to win 40% or more games or an average of 40%+ lost by the pros.

This is definitely something I think we could work on?

Ur not really paying any attention to what gets typed? You live on your own fantasy world and everything else seems to bypass your thinking process.

What does different players playing against 3 players have to do with the challenge I (pay close attention to the the word I) proposed, I can't control how they play or how effectively they will try to demonstrate the flaws and boring gameplay of effective Hysteria tactics.

U really don't get it. If someone else wants to propose another challenge, knock yourselves out but my challenge and conditions stay exactly the same, if it doesn't get accepted, then fine, I can live with that. More than me reaching the winning ratio, the replays would illustrate how boring and un-natural effective Hysteria tactics are at it's core.

Now we're getting somewhere, ShyGuy :)

Some people still don't believe anything is wrong with hysteria as Komo just proved with his last post.

I used to be in favor of randomsteria, DarkOne, but the more I think about it, the less I like it.  I don't want to completely remove rotation advantage from the game, just make it more risk for the reward.  I don't like the idea of random turn order because:

You can't control the random turn order, so I don't like the idea of being countered or allowed a certain strat based off of a random factor you can't control, do you understand what I'm saying?  If I decide to telepile, the risk does go up because of random turn order, but if it does thwart me, it's not like the enemy team did anything to counter me, they just got fortunate with the turn order... there was no special move or skill they had to do, the turn order just happened to be in their favor. I hope I'm explaining this well enough. 
2. Random turn order makes it harder for you to organize moves within your own team because you don't know the order of your own team.  If you're setting stuff up, it's highly reliant on getting a good turn order.  It would be interesting if you could see your turn order but the enemy can't, but that's a discussion for another day.

@1 yeah, you explained it just fine :) Random turn order is not entirely random, though. In every game, your team has a turn cycle: in a turn cycle, all your worms must have had their turns. I haven't done a full calculation here, but I reckon you do abuse turn order safely if you have half the worms of your opponent - as long as you pay attention to the turn order and keep in mind what I said above. If you try to abuse turn order before you hit that ratio, then yes, you will be depending on luck 8)
So yes, random turn order does have its weakness in that respect, I fully agree. I don't see another way to keep the tactic around while downpowering it somewhat, though. Happy to hear an alternative, though :)

franz mentioned worm select at the start of the turn. I'm curious whether that included /racingstuff or not: RS would limit options like jetpack knocking (which can be done for some very nice tactics) and would fully abolish turn order abuse. Without RS, is abolishes turn order abuse when it comes down to 2 vs 1 worm, would take good tapping skills to avoid it with 3 worms. When it comes down to 2v1, I can see that the team with 2 worms can pretty safely hide his higher HP worm at the bottom, while the lower HP worm does damage on the other team.
It could work :)

@2: Yes, that's another weakness to it, I'm aware of it. franz' option would fix that weakness, but we'd have to test it to see what it does to turn order advantage - does it merely diminish it or does it destroy it?

Adding random turn order still doesn't fix the fundamental problem with hysteria, which is the 1 second turn time that breaks the scheme and allows for abuse in the scheme.  It's the 1 second turn time that makes the game design goals of hysteria not work.  So yes, Darkone, like I've pushed for before, I would like to see a 3 second hysteria variant like Aerial to replace the scheme.

Aerial is an entirely different scheme, though, for instance when it comes down to using sd as a tactic. Aerial doesn't even have sudden death. Aerial is all about using the jetpack for combat, just look at the replays. Hysteria does have jetpack options, but they are far more limited and therefore far less used. It basically comes down to removing hysteria again if we were to go through with this suggestion.

well i played some games with barman using wormselect and rs. exept the flaw of impossible knocks it turned out its damm hard to come back when u are down once. we tried to fix it with more worms and close sd timer, so you can force sd when you are far behind. turned a bit into a huge close combat battle with jetpacks at the start.

Then perhaps we should host a cup with it :) one with /racingstuff and one without (at least).

*** Big Post ***


Yeah Breeze, you have no idea what MI has tolerated over the years, show a little respect huh? The guy does all this for free remember, and he does a great job...

ShyGuy, I wanna ask you something, this has nothing to do with Hysteria being in Classic, but the scheme itself.

One of your main arguements against Hysteria about being "competitively flawed" is being punished for a good shot right?

Good Hysteria players are fully aware of the tactics and if you attack someone in Hysteria and enable them to use this advantage against you, it wasn't a good shot, it was a bad idea, this is why alot of players use the common tactic of trying to attack the worms with more HP, or attacking them with precise damage to leave them alive while trying to avoid jetfall damage/tele-grave damage.

The only reasonable counter I can think against what I just said is something like, what is the point of attacking worms yet not trying to kill them, killing a worm shouldn't put you at a "disadvantage". There is more than 1 thing I would then say to this, the 1st would probably be that this is WA remember, alot of stupid/funny/unlucky/lucky things happen it was a game originally designed I am guessing to entertain, not for competitive purposes to the level of skill we see today...

Secondly, I sometimes kill a worm, even if it causes me to get piled and it may look like a disadvantage, but in my mind, I am bringing their worms out making them easier to attack, plus if I see a worm that has the strongest point on the map I will try and battle for this spot even if it risks losing a worm or 2 because it really helps for 1v1/SD.

Also, it isn't like you aren't trying to kill them, you do need to kill all worms to win right, but it's good to try and get all worms to a comfortable killing HP then finish them off. I think it's a bad idea to kill any worm in Hysteria until all worms have 40hp or less, so if they pile you, it's easy to kill them and you will win if you have more worms...

I actually think piling doesn't really give any advantage in Hysteria if the opponent knows the scheme inside-out and is prepared.

*End of question*

I would like to see 5s or 6s SD time in Hysteria, but this is the only change I would like to see to this scheme, i've tried alot of other versions of Hysteria, and I feel the one TuS has now is the best i've personally ever played, I don't like random turn order version, because I simply do not like random events in competitive games, I don't like not being able to come up with a solid plan of known future events, that's my problem though, I don't like the worm select version either because it's sometimes impossible to have a comeback if there are horrible placements, I don't like worm select with manual placements because then it does just become a BnG with no rules at all...


ShyGuy, I know you are right, attacking something with a perfect shot shouldn't put you at a disadvantage, but I feel like you can't use this point based on things i've said in this post, and other things that have said in the past, I feel like being at a disadvantage is something out of your control, but in Hysteria we are aware of the consequences and the tactics and we can control this with skill and experience, and I mean both players from both sides of the coin.


I want you to stop thinking I am just sitting here trolling you, and I don't understand etc... I really do understand this scheme inside out, I know what "being worthy of skilled competition" requires & I definitely understand the points you have made and I innocently disagree with them, I post in a debate against you and I feel there is no reason for you to take it personally, you always end up debating about how the other guy is debating, how he is using the words he is using... It doesn't matter how I debate or the words I use, I am focused on the future of what has actually been one of my favourite scheme for the past 3-4 years, I reply to the things you say about the scheme with my honest opinion and belief, and then you reply with accusations of me being a mad man, what's fact and what's opinion,  I can't debate I can't read properly or whatever you've said in the past...

How about, if you honestly feel that way about one of my posts, instead of telling me what you think I have done wrong, or if I have misjudged you, just give me the answer or the solution or try it again with different words...

I am asking you, please read what I say, give it a chance, reply to it calmly, be honest and try and make me think I am wrong, because trust me, if you can do that I will do everything I can to encourage this scheme be removed from Classic, or improved/altered.

I am fed up arguing with guys I have known for years & actually respect, about the way we are using the English language...

1 side of this debate must be right, and it is obviously now more important than ever that this scheme is resolved 1 way or another, 40%/60% is too close, I am really shocked with the results and I feel something fishy is going on because I don't believe that 40% deep down honestly don't want this league in Classic, because the statistics of TuS definitely don't support that... But it still can't be ignored.

For me, as i've said already, all I would change about Hysteria is reduce the Sudden Death time to 5s or 6s, but perhaps there is an idea that hasn't been thought yet that we may all agree on?

Sum of overall Hysteria ratings:

YES    20,758

Sum of overall Elite ratings:

Also, "they've calmed down, no need to do anything now"? :)

I proposed the way to alter the scheme. Free insists he is willing to play with only one player and demands the result of that game must change it. Am I wrong thinking that's a bad decider situation for the community?

I say it cuz I believe it's true, and I said some players, not alot of players.

I am talking about people about doing this:

Console / Console / Spacebar / Console / Spacebar / F1/F2/F5 / If F2 then 1-2-3-4-5 for fuse / Enter, while controlling the direction with arrows.

I see people having done this and moving within like 0.5s, that is ridiculous lol... Now I can see someone being able to do this in about 0.6s - 0.9s with zook/mine to the point where all they have left to do is press "Enter", i've done it myself.

But some people seem to do this so fast how can they get the last part with grenade/fuse time WHILE holding the arrows, and do it perfect everytime, with such rapid hand movement with 1 hand with such tiny keys... They are either using macros, a keychanger to bring the buttons closer together, or these people have such flawless and quick hand-eye coodination they should really really REALLY be thinking about a very rewarding career choice... This seems to be the kind of natural gift only a few people on Earth would have, not several players of normal people on WA lol.

I say it cuz I believe it's true, and I said some players, not alot of players.

I am talking about people about doing this:

Console / Console / Spacebar / Console / Spacebar / F1/F2/F5 / If F2 then 1-2-3-4-5 for fuse / Enter, while controlling the direction with arrows.

sometimes this works... but most of times it's just:

console / console / space / console space / f1/f2/f5 / enter

no time for fuse, except when u concentrate

I've shot homesr from jp in hyst aswell, homers aren't usually in hyst obviously

edit: surely u mean consolo / space / console / console / enter / f2 / fuse / enter ?

I have this gut feeling certain people I know are using macros, and one of the reasons why I think so is because they have already hit so much and are starting to fly within 0.5s, this is just mad...

But what makes me sure, is because they think they are so cool doing this almost useless move lol, it's as cringy & horrible to watch as watching people "FR" in warmers/TTRR even though they can't even control the rope lol ! They do it at the most useless time, just to try and look cool and it just makes me laugh at them lol...

There is always a better way to attack opponent imo, you can plop a worm or something or shoot worm far away sure, but it doesn't help towards end-game imo.

Even if macros were allowed and it took no effort at all, I still wouldn't do it, it's pathetic haha.

Its really not that hard. Just practice it. I did 8 out of 10 when playing with Dulek some time ago. And I never would use any tools or smth to cheat anything.

I've been playing hyst since day one and I agree. While it does take a lot of skill to do such things as correctly place a mine to plop an enemy worm,  accurately  fire bazooka/molotov/grenade etc from jetpack all of this in the span of a single second, most games revolve only around telecow shit. It doesn't matter if you can use jetpack + lg + grenade if your opponent can just take advantage of teleport and kill you before you even move.

Also hysteria isn't even a classic scheme so it doesn't belong there whether we're talking about age or skill ceiling.

Its not smart to talk like that as a promoter. I know you're not a douche, Free. If you delete Hysteria from classic league, general activity will decrease. You know that Hysteria is a good scheme to get in touch with worms, like Shopper. Beginners dont get warm with "pro schemes" so Hysteria can open the way for many newcomers.

If anything this is a good example of why the scheme is absolutely retarded. You kill your own worms, darkside, force sudden death and generally play it so your opponent has exactly 1 shot on you the whole game (the one at the very end, where he could've won if the zook hit). Nice comet dodging style of scheme.
2/10 wouldn't play again.

Elite scheme is like chess and hysteria is more like checkers, fast-paced nature of the scheme doesn't make it bad.

Regarding turn advantage... With experience I see that actually having more worms is better in some situations, especially when you can predict the time your opponent starts to plop their worms.

Some people are just wired to their set opinions, there is nothing wrong with the scheme, that is a fact.

It doesn't matter if you kill your own worms or not, sometimes suicide is beneficial in other schemes too like Elite Team17 Roper Wxw etc, people don't complain there...

Just because it's different doesn't mean it's bad.

Anyway I think it was enough to see there is no valid reason to remove hyst, or even change it. If someone doesn't like it, he can just refuse to play it when asking for TUS.

All for all those saying it's a luck scheme, then I think it's about same as elite. There are some great players that hardly lose. In fact, I think my hysteria stats are better than my elite stats, and I find myself one of the top elite players.

Anyway, Free, I challenge you for to a bo3 hyst match, where you have 1 worm and I have 4. You can start all games. If you win, I'll change my vote to Yes. :)

I put in the time to say Im strong in hysteria nowadays. Side and worm control being the most effective tactics and mentally about patience to play darkside.

Its still, by design broken as a competetive scheme. Forcing side zooka game which takes ages is way too easy and countering it is too hard.

It has potential but scheme needs tweaking because it doesnt have high tactical ceiling if I just tele cow and take control of the side and zook the map from v hard to hit hide

Lmao this cracks me up everytime I hear it :D

I guess Team17 is broken too because i've seen the worlds best players draw like 3 times before someone wins.

Or Elite, WxW, Roper, and every other scheme invented is broke too, because some people can't handle them and draw there too.

Do you even know what the words "broken" and "competitive" mean? I don't mean to sound rude mate, but please go read a dictionary before making wild and false statements.

I think it's ok if you personally think improvements can be made to something, but to say something is broken when it's theoretically, scientifically and logically impossible is just ignorant.


Edit - Oh yeah Roper WxW and other schemes where you suicide to get pile advantage, are those broke too? (Answer = no)
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Free on August 20, 2016, 09:53 AM
Roper could use tweaking yes but T17 has very complex strats to hold and counter advantageous situations, personally I would add static homing from the start to make up for cr8 luck.

Hyst in the other has very little effective strats because of points mentioned earlier, imo. Im ready to "prove" that effective means boring in hysteria. Side zook tactics and telecow is the way to go

Post by: TheWalrus on August 20, 2016, 09:58 AM
I wouldn't say t17 is broken, its just boring shit, I used to like it a lot; but after years of playing the scheme, I've realized how tedious and anticlimactic it is. 

Hysteria has some stupid/annoying turtle strategies, but I would hardly say its anywhere near as boring as t17.

This is MUCH better free!

I agree, Hysteria has less strategies and tactics than Elite/Team17, but it has more strategies than for example, WxW, Roper and even TTRR :P and they are all as competitive as each other, as much as I hate Shopper, it's still up there with the rest in terms of being competitive.

And there are more tactics in Hysteria than you mention, for example if side zook and telecow are your strongest tactics I imagine you being overwhelmed by an opponent like Xrayez, his BnG skills are incredible as well as staying ahead of the game, he is very good at thinking on the spot.

No one really thought about tactics in BnG until I came around either and made things like pushing, digging, opening a thing.


Hysteria has some stupid/annoying turtle strategies, but I would hardly say its anywhere near as boring as t17. 

Team17 is by far more fun than Shopper though.

I don't think it's any more or less complex than it was 10 years ago, and I actually enjoy Team17 Clanners now, but Singles bores the sh*t out of me now(regardless of the scheme), I love collaborating and teamwork, the things I find most fun about Team17 and Elite nowadays is coming up with those awesome 1 turn ideas that can turn a match around or give you a huge advantage, and actually pulling them off like a boss :)


But PLEASE, don't say Hysteria scheme is broke, because it isn't :/

Defending a draw is too easy in T17. You get usually no more than two SD weapons in a game => try to keep at least 3 worms alive till the end and you get away at least with a draw. Last night I picked T17 against daiNa. After a draw I changed to Elite cos I knew we might play more draws :D

I think Hysteria is not "broken" but it's easy to learn and it's a small margin game, pretty much like Shopper (in Shopper there's crate luck too). Beginners can have a much closer game against the best players in Hysteria than in Elite, TTRR, WxW, Roper, BnG.

Amount of playing to be effective and winning player in hysteria is poor compared to Rr for example. One could teach hyst strats to any beginner in a day and he would be successful against good players compared to years of grinding Rr to match against good players, catch my drift?

Which, to some reasoning, makes Hyst a better scheme than TTRR. Who has the time, or will, to practice so much to match those skills of the top racers?

That is not true at all, i'd like to see any beginner come even close to beating Xrayez in Hysteria.

Now this is coming from the best BnG player ever, BnG is easier to learn from scratch than Hysteria, so is TTRR and Roper and even WxW.

Elite is harder to learn from scratch because it has more tactics and more weapons to learn.

TTRR is the easiest scheme in the world to learn, but one of the hardest to master.

When using the term "Beginner" this actually means someone who has never played Worms before, they wouldn't stand a f**king chance against the best Hysteria players, even after a month of playing let alone a day.

No, because this is blatent lies.

For starters there are no tactics to TTRR, it's basically a physical sport, fitter and more active people naturally gifted with fast reactions are more likely to be better at this.

Hysteria is a game of accuracy and patience, predicting your opponents moves and trying to stay one step ahead.

It's actually easier for a noob to win in TTRR because a skilled player could plop all worms and the noob could safely rope to the end.

But saying that a noob could get a few totally lucky shots off in Hysteria and beat a skilled player.

But in both schemes the more skilled player will pretty much always win and is expected to do so.

The only reason you guys are any good at Hysteria in the 1st place is because you have previous experience with the game in general.

If we are talking about someone who has never even played Worms before, TTRR is easier to learn than Hysteria, because there is less involved, it's like teaching someone how to ride a bike versus operate a vehicle, the bike being TTRR.

But TTRR takes longer to get to the best in the world because it's played more than Hysteria, and it's a shame you guys don't even realize stuff like this but whatever, it's your lives, we can't all be open to the truth like me ;)

Cool :)

I'm not denying Hysteria games are close towards the end, but that's just the nature of it, the same thing happens often in Roper, Shopper and Team17, and many other schemes.

Like, 3+ years ago I was in my prime at BnG, with a Singles percentage of over 99% but still some games my health came down to under 44, i'd consider that VERY close(1 shot away from losing, but always in control).

Without a doubt Hysteria LOOKS easy at times, and looks ridiculous at times, the 1st time I saw Chelsea plopping worms straight away I was left scratching my head thinking "What the f**k is this cracker doing..."

However if you truly understand Worms Armageddon and appreciate it in all it's glory, it all makes sense in it's own way it does not make it any less competitive or skilled.

@spleen17 - I think Classic League needs to be changed completely, Big RR is definitely good enough, and Darts.

hysteria is broken since the majority of the games could have a different outcome if one player would hit a specific shot instead of missing it. no matter how good you are, you are usually just 1 shot away from losing.
90% of the time the winner is decided by BnG, Komo is the best BnG player ever, yet he got owned countless times by less skilled players. this scheme is on the same level as shopper/t17, people pick it because they can sneak a win against better players who would destroy them in top tier schemes like ttrr, elite, bng.
it has less tactical variety than elite, its not efficent in shooting mechanics because of limited turntime. the only creative part of this scheme is using the jp or LG drops, but its only a gimmick, you can do fine playing without them. the scheme defining skill is a mixture between poor mans bng and simple terrain abuse.

Poor little Peja doesn't understand the world :)

As i've already said Hysteria isn't as popular as Elite, there are actually few great players in Hysteria, this is why a lot of games look like that, because most of the people playing are casual and kinda suck. The same thing happens in other schemes where both players aren't skilled/experienced enough yet.

"1 specific shot" can win/lose pretty much any scheme. Stop being so close minded man, you are one of the most stubborn minded, uneducated people on this website, or at least that's how you come across, harassing people, moaning about everything, you constantly go on rants like this without providing ANY evidence whatsoever.

its about the importance of 1 specific shot, in BnG there have been many hits before the final blow, however you can win hysteria with just 1 hit. in a scheme were people can kill their own worms without much drawback there is an easy road to reach lategame. you dont need any skills to bring you into a position from where you can win the game. you could just fart at your screen during your first 6 turns and still win the game, which you cant do in elite, ttrr etc.

PS:

Sorry I didn't realize every Hysteria is less than 1 minute with 1 shot the entire game, my bad...

I suppose we should just limit TTRR to 1 worm also then?

And also, I never knew no one has ever won a BnG by plopping their opponent with the 1st shot before... Wow...

You are so intelligent Peja, I wish I could be more like you :)

you did not know the meaning of slavs,

you denied the existence of mental illness and drug addiction.

Ok, sorry for calling you uneducated, that was petty.

Why should I know the meaning of slavs, it isn't a very common English term, if I wasn't so focused on other things in life and/or we could live x10(+) longer, I would love to learn every language in the world, but there isn't time for that.

that's shorter than the lifetime of some RR records

settled, then

It's not even comparable. People play this game for decades and never even get entry-level-competitive at RR because it's just too overwhelming or hard for them.

Hysteria on the other hand, if you know worms, you need a few minutes and some common sense. This is nothing to take away from the guys at the top of the rankings in Hysteria, I'm sure it takes time and effort to be better than the rest. But being #1 in RR takes much more, it baffles me that there's people who refuse to understand this, after spending more than a decade playing the game.

Ive said my opinion and stand by it and theres nothing to argue here with you. Xrayez aint a reason because even him gets nullified with side zook and telecow tactics. If both play with "most effective" tactic given the ongoing circumstances, it becomes very one-dimensional. Skill and tactic wise not much to offer because current scheme settings and rules prevent it.. hence it needs fixing imo. Aerial is pretty good direction to head into Imo ofc

SD always helps the one being behind because it does nullify the hp advantage, instead of hitting a 80 hp worm twice, you can 1 shot.
Title: Re: BAN HYSTERIA FROM DEFAULT LEAGUE
Post by: Aerox on August 22, 2016, 05:01 PM
yeah Walrus, Hysteria suffers from NBA regular season syndrome

you're on auto-cruise until PO

we need ways to actually make comebacks harder because they're too easy right now to the point having an advantage is not so. Kamikaze is one of the few weapons that does both fit the scheme and help solve this issue by giving those with a worm advantage the possibility of hitting those in a darkside spot trying to telecow their way back into the game

Post by: Almog on August 23, 2016, 06:51 AM
The darksider is usually the one with less HP. By promoting SD you force him to tele on top and then u have a first shot at him. That enables you to (i) kill him, if his HP is low enough, which usually is; or (ii) at least push him. If you don't make this shot work, then you are probably not skilled enough and deserve to lose.

And talking from personal experience, promoting SD is a strategy I take quite often, and it works nearly everytime. The only thing bugging me is that I need to skip 10 turns.  I suggest everyone posting on this thread (who barely even plays TUS) give this small change a chance and see how it goes, and stop proposing dramatic changes which we all know won't happen.

If you make comebacks harder, random placements play a bigger role?

5 sec SD was tested in experimental season #32 and it got abandoned. The good thing about low activity is that now we could make even drastic changes without the fear of losing activity.

that's so wrong I can't even

there's so many people that would be among the top in hysteria in one week if they could be bothered playing the bloody scheme to begin with

try that in any rope scheme, there is no comparison. if we're talking about skill, hysteria takes none. I can be competitive in hysteria right now by just thinking about it for 5 minutes. Me and anyone who has bare notions of elite, bng and competitive worms. There's no unique skill attached to the scheme other than using hotkeys.

Some people really need to start listening and stop adding all these silly angles to a discussion that's been long settled, basically since the day of the scheme's conception and you can quote the creator on that.

what we have here is not even a bunch but a few guys who just don't want to see their only ticket into competitive worms gone, that is, because learning any other scheme would take them much more effort and skill, never mind several.

Post by: h3oCharles on August 23, 2016, 09:42 AM
For those who don't know what's happening, basically there has been an overpowered tactic discovered in Hysteria involving killing 3 of your worms (you're left with 1), then forcing Sudden Death, darksiding and teleporting everywhere, due to the short and easy-to-plow-through round time and infinite teleports. This tactic is so overpowered, that is forces the opponent to only have ONE, SINGLE[!] lucky shot at the opponent and that's it. If the opponent doesn't know this tactic, they are boned.

If it's all luck (i.e. no skills), then how come I'm currently having 100% winning ratio (in 9 games) instead of 50%?

In my opinion, this is the correct order:

rr > elite > bng > wxw > hysteria > t17 >  shoppa  >  roper

And it's not because no skill is needed in roper, but because the crates' locations will determine the winner.

I never said it was luck. I said the learning curve is small and simple to dominate because the competition is scarce. A great example is yourself, having a 100% winning ratio when I assume you've probably played more Ropers in your life and you couldn't even dream of having that ratio in the latter.

It's like when MPH and Dope won Elite clanners left and right because no one could elite. Or when Kiros and Flamie did the same with Shopper.

And even if we're talking about different things, in your own logic, having roper last when you have Team17 there is borderline stupid. No offense, I just think you're argumentation is incredibly biased on the basis you can't rope for shit.

When was the last time someone dominated Team17? It was never a thing. Because anyone can get screwed or go for the draw providing a minimum amount of skill. Someone playing a perfect roper and losing, a myth more than anything else.
