Kudos to you Komodo for ZaR accolades
12 seconds, no parachute, crazy maps, zook only... Most games I see are decided after like 2 turns each... I think this is not a scheme to attract noobs at all.
Crazy maps, I barely choose any of the sorts. My maps are usually designed for ZaR. They're usually thin, with thin middle, no land close to the island's feet. Sure, there are maps that may seem convoluted, but perhaps that is the idea of it? They're still slimmed down and not as fat as say some of Mablak's ropers. On fat maps, you can't even make shortcut cuts to maneuver yourself through.Which is one of roping skills, adaptability. In regular ropers you are forced to go through the entirety of the map, which is a skill of itself, but you can easily make it less luck based in ZaR when you do create these holes. to snuggle yourself through.
I think Roper got less and less popular as the maps got crazier and more evil, and more decided by luck.
True, that's why I try to keep it fair.
zook being the only weapon as well, that gets pretty boring when you are used to grenade/mine as well for so many years.
This is likely true, to me I never found it boring. I do agree that grenade further the attack range and makes for interesting games.
Long ago, I remember people hosted zook only ropers, I thought of it at the time it was a pro weapon, since I was a noob and always used mine. Nowadays It is hard for me to consider mine as a weapon if ever I do competitive. Heck it is even embarrassing for me to choose parachute, because to me it feels like crutches. Yes, I know you can use the parachute to wall hit and glide and continue your turn, that is pro too.
I see ZaR as a simplified, stripped down version of Roper, yes it's fun, yes it's competitive, if it would honestly bring more popularity into the League, i'd support it, but this is simply my opinion, it's not fact or anything, and I don't want it as a main League scheme, ever.
ZaR is literally stripped down version, in order to make it more difficult (Opinion).
Komodo, you don't take time to get to know people from WA. You sit there up in your high tower with your Nostalgia goggles, and make decision that best suit yourself. Perhaps it is time to join everyone else? The people here on these forums aren't the only ones that plays worms.
About the league, I had an interesting conversation with two individuals. One of them asked if it was ''free'', the other one asked ''Why do I need to play the league?''
I am trying to get more people to look up tus
