The original scheme is MUCH better in my opinion, if played on a map that doesn't fill 80% of the land available...
I have played the w2 scheme alot, I even played proper ropers on w2.
Neither scheme is for better skilled ropers, both schemes take as much skill as the other.
Ropers were perfect 4+ years ago, then people started hosting more and more evil maps.
Seriously, if you look at ropers back then, and ropers now, you would notice the only thing stopping it from being purely skill, is the fact the maps are so ridiculously evil nowadays that EVERYONE gets crate raped eventually, even the BEST ropers around now always lose a fair few games due to evil crates even when they rope perfectly.
Some people say "It's boring on old style maps" I don't see why, imo they were perfect because you could actually collect your crate AND attack every turn with hard crates, if you fell, then that's where you deserve to lose, not because of crates, and imo it was much more fun being able to collect your crate and attack EVERY turn because you have the skill, not the luck.
This scheme, with still ridiculous maps, doesn't solve it in my opinion, however I would like it if it took over form original roper, but NOT as a second choice, it should be one, or the other, there is absolutely NO need for 2 rope schemes...
