HB Hurz.

This is a great bang for buck Canadian build. i3-6100 for that price is a total beast, hell it can even run Rocket League around 1080p 60fps with lowered settings.

Also if you ever want to play newest titles you can always buy a gpu and throw in.

AMD CPUs are fine for budget builds.

Also new AMD CPUs coming end of this month probably, they might be aggressive with pricing.

Do you absolutely need laptop or will you be fine with desktop too? Building a desktop PC is much cheaper than buying a laptop so unless you absolutely need portability of a laptop I will help you to get best bang for buck desktop build for your budget.

Im definitely not writing this because Im forced to by my clan leader 

Yes. Who witnessed a Turkish leader oppressing free speech anyway?

I tried to edit poll from old thread but I couldn't because I didn't have Moderator rights. So I opened new thread here in UC forum.

People opposed to remove schemes idea so I came up with this new idea to make Playoffs competitive while keeping schemes. I think this idea is more reasonable.

Suggested changes
* All schemes are kept but to make playoffs competitive, we introduce scheme classes system. I explained it below.
* Bo7, because scheme classes system won't work on Bo5.
* 60 days long seasons just like old times.
* Overall reset done like on Classic League.

Scheme Classes
Bashing on a 5 games PO games with 21 scheme options is inevitable. To prevent this I suggest this for playoffs:
* There will be 6 scheme classes you can pick in Playoffs
* Each player can only pick one scheme from each classes.
* Best of 7 playoffs.

So the six scheme classes are:
* Abnormal/Intermediate/Elemental
* Aerial/Golf/Forts/Walk for Weapons
* Kaos/Mole Shopper/Capture the Flag
* Plop War/Mine Madness/Holy War
* Big RR/Darts/Boom Race/Bungee Race
* Super Sheep Race/Battle Race/Jetpack Race/Parachute Race

Why even 8 scheme? Let's go more hardcore and do 1 scheme. TRFL aka:

T U S
R O T A T E D
F R E E
L E A G U E

I meant the 4 rope 4 default scheme idea though. Appeal of Free League is not it has a lot of schemes, but schemes that is not like Classic League.

First of all, I do think free league should be modelled on classic league, with 4 rope schemes and 4 default schemes. I actually think this is essential in order to get a decent number of people playing.

Well, whole appeal of Free League is it's not like Classic League.

I would also reject all 'specialist' schemes (such as bungee race, SSR, etc), anything that basically turns into a free win for the 3 or 4 players who are actually good at them. The learning curve for these games is just too high, and especially these days you can't expect anyone to put the hours in to mastering them.

TTRR is a specialist scheme too, yet it's played by both pros and average players. Same with Big RR. The specialist wouldn't be a problem with more limited schemes anyway.

About list, it's nice list if your aimed demographic is Classic players. I don't think Free players ever would agree on it.

Quote from: Sensei on February 03, 2017, 05:38 PM
Triad, I like that you're showing interest for changing whole league and as a player appreciating it. But let's be honest - will you even play TFL actively? In last 10 seasons (900 days!?) you played 50-60 games.

I will start playing actively on a new TFL. The reason why I suggest changes is because I want a league where there's actually competition. Currently TFL is almost like a server to find good players to play non-Classic funners. And that's why eventually I stopped playing TFL actively.

Edit 1: just realized between 2014-2016 I was preparing for University and I was generally inactive.

Quote from: Sensei on February 03, 2017, 05:38 PM
Do not think I want all schemes to suit my needs! Probably biggest noob and hater of Drown Syndrome, but want it to be part of TFL, cause it's one of the most skill based schemes that W:A is offering atm.

Yes I understand. I don't know how we can introduce new schemes to TFL. Maybe something like if x scheme gets played lower than certain amount, MI could open a poll like picking TRL scheme polls so people can decide new scheme.

Quote from: Sensei on February 03, 2017, 05:38 PM
We all like to give opinion on every subject that's been going on at forums and it's positive thing, but wouldn't be right to pay more attention on guys that are actually keeping it alive all these seasons? Where's Hurz, Husk, Walrus, Snipe..? Waiting for your thoughts.

Only those people can force changes anyway. I don't think MI will care if someone who never actively played TRL says something.

Vote no to kaos? Wtf, it's one of the popular free league schemes

Kaos probably will stay. I don't see anyone opposing beside HHC and Komo, and don't recall them being active on TFL.

Edit 2:

Quote from: Senator on February 03, 2017, 05:01 PM
If you make playoffs best of 7, you may need to play a PO series in 2 sessions because some of the schemes are Bo3.

Unlikely. Abnormal and Darts for example usually played Bo3 but each round of it takes 5-7 mins. Racing schemes are fast too if you won't pick an extra hard map.

Alright, if more people can state same here, I guess we can decide another 8th scheme?

So far people opposed:
* Kaos scheme
* Some of the schemes being excluded.

So should I assume everyone agree on:
* Other 7 schemes are fine.
* Bo7 PO
* League should be 60 days long again.
* Remove crates from Aerial.
* Overall reset

No, few reasons.

As I said, you shouldn't have to install an extra(unsupported) game feature to participate in a League, if anybody doesn't wish to install rubberworm for whatever reason this instantly makes them an avoider, and that's unfair. I understand it's easy to install rubberworm, that isn't enough of a reason for someone to want to install it, some people like playing games without mods, and it's unfair to force them to.


I don't like the choice of schemes, swap Kaos, and perhaps.

But why nobody complained about this in previous seasons of Free League? Not to mention Kaos is Top 3 most played scheme of last 3 season.

Again, if a lot people don't want Kaos and replace it with another scheme, I will support, too. But until there's a better option given, I support Kaos.

This is good tho, seems like even in worst case, there'll be minimal changes be made like removing few schemes.

Quote from: Sensei on February 03, 2017, 02:50 PM
Voted no.
Don't like 5/8 schemes here. But it's not the main reason.
Just think JPR and Golf belongs to Free league.

I don't like every schemes here much, such as Aerial, Intermediate, Kaos, Boom Race but those are enjoyed by community according to stats so I prefer not to stand on way. A change is necessary otherwise league will get more inactive and eventually get disabled.

I already explained why I left out those schemes. If we allow not so popular schemes, then people will ask why not allow some other unpopular schemes and you'll end up with something like current Free League. Those schemes can still be played on Cups and Tournaments just fine.

If opposition against Kaos is strong, I think we can agree on another scheme. Let's see if there are more people  shares the same opinion first.

If you vote No, or disagree with one thing, please share your thoughts so we can elaborate this idea to make it something everyone can agree.

We already kinda hijacked Hysteria thread  with new free league idea, some people seem to interested with the idea so I decided to start a separate poll.

Suggested changes
* Removing unpopular schemes and lowering total amount of schemes to 8. Possible 8 schemes is given below.
* Best of 7 playoffs
* 60 days long seasons instead 90.
* Resetting overall stats just like Classic league(and keep them archived like old Classic League overall), makes sense considering most of the free league schemes would be gone.

8 schemes of new Free League
1- Darts: Even though Darts added to Free League later on, still it's the most played Free League scheme. It is luck-free, easy to learn and hard to master perfect non-Classic scheme.

2- Big RR: A luck-free racing scheme. Most popular rope scheme on WormNET after Shopper and WxW.

3- Aerial: Hysteria like scheme added to Free League later on like Darts. Really popular, even had its own league with Hysteria(HAL). But I suggest to remove crate drops to make it more professional.

4- Abnormal: Also added later on to Free League. Scheme is almost identical to Intermediate with one twist: You kill your own worms. Most newbies know Intermediate, so Abnormal might be an interesting concept for them.

5- Intermediate: Everybody knows this scheme. It is quite popular on Free League too.

6- Kaos: A really unorthodox ground scheme. Rubberworm features it uses can do great job to lure new players. Komo argued because it requires you to install Rubberworm and League should be as simple as possible for newcomers, but imo if you discovered this site and want to participate the leagues, installing Rubberworm shouldn't be a problem.

7- Bungee Race: Another racing scheme. It was fairly popular and has more than enough maps(only HusH made at least 50 maps) to avoid map whoring.

8- Boom Race: Last scheme of the list. Just like Bungee it is more popular than other racing schemes and the idea racing to finish by shooting yourself with various weapons is definitely an interesting concept for new players.

Why x scheme excluded? I am triggered.
Mole Shopper: I was planning to add it because it seemed popular on stats, but when I checked overall I realized it was used by people who solely picks Mole and/or people who played it is now inactive.

Others: At least one of these applies:
- Big luck factor
- Low amount of dedicated maps which leads to map whoring
- Not popular enough

Don't worry, excluded schemes can still gather players via Cups, Tournaments etc.

---

Why 8 schemes? Why not more?
Reason I wanted 8 schemes is to make Free as competitive and compact as possible. In a Bo7 4:3 PO game, 7 out of 8 would be played. If you have a lot scheme, you'll stick with your favorite ones and ignore other schemes just like currently on TFL. Not to mention some schemes has huge luck factor and allows map whoring because low amount of dedicated maps, a great example would be Plop War. That's why having 8 schemes might motivate players to master all Free schemes and it will make Free a more credible and competitive league. Also fewer schemes might be better for newcomers because there will be less schemes they'll have to learn.

Sorry if I made any typo or grammar mistakes.
