Did anyone really believe anything's gonna change..?

Gotta +1 that Wally.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not but there's a "remove vote" option right below the poll.

That was brillant entertainment!! I recommend watching this while listening to the Benny Hill theme. xDD

I can imagine, bahahah.

First time hearing that excuse!

And DiD and (the real) MavericK.

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.

so far... hysteria 1-0 Free xD

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.

ban ttrr too, I dont like to play this scheme, I always lose games in this scheme, I dont want to learn dat shit and i dont understand ppl who like this scheme hehauehauheuae    

People who don't even understand the point of this thread shouldn't be allowed to vote. I'm lost for words.

Hahahah maul. xD

Either way, it's not like the scheme is going to disappear even if it's voted out of classic league.

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.)

Ah I won't even bother asking. Bye sir.

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.

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.

And it's giving a chance for new players to win some game vs pros and that is great motivation to continue to play worms..

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.
Where's the problem in just moving it to a different league? Aren't we all happy then?

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.

I found the thread for clan league playoffs season 1 (Jan '09) where SPW quoted the rules and Hysteria was already mentioned in them. I'm not sure if there was a poll or something earlier, I really can't remember either.

Edit: I found the thread. A stunning 14 people voted for it with 11 against it. Guess that's all it took.

That's your opinion Dave, definitely not a fact.

This thread is going absolutely nowhere again. Who would've thought.
