TSL-BASE RACE, 10mins or 15mins?

[Heaven]

To start off, the TSL-B !add time has been reduced from 10minutes to 5minutes, speeding up the pre-game process.

Next, keep the flag race at 15minutes or lower to 10minutes?

If we lower to 10minutes:
1. less wait time for people that are benched.
2. if one team is doing very poorly, it's less frustrating since you know round will be over sooner.
3. if teams are fairly even, the FR battles will be more intense as there's less time and terrs need to be more aggressive.
4. less chance of someone having to leave mid-game and host scrambling to find a sub

Keep at 15minutes:
1. its just how its always been and its what people are used to

10 mins feels is a little too short. Blip and over. Comebacks do happen and those are the best games. Either keep 15 or reduce to like 12.

Let' make it one round to 5 minutes

Can you reduce the !add time on TSLD/J too? Isnt that 10 mins too? Make that 3 like in TWDD/JD.

correct. going to reduce this as well, you say 3, i say 5, we compromise at 4mins. (sometimes players take 1-2mins just to get into arena)

[Pressure]

Either 3 10-minute games or 2 15-minute games. Don't care.

[Trasher]

I vote to keep it as 15 purely because setting up the games take so long. Even if it's reduced to 5 minutes, because you have to get people to !p as well.

The blowout games suck though, but maybe it will get better with visible ratings that can be adjusted based on community feedback.

A major problem is subbing laggots, so something should be done to smoothen that process.

10 minutes i think is ok.. which in reality could mean almost 20 mins of play time

Either increase WB/JD games to best of 3 and leave base at 15 mins

OR

Cut base time in half to 7-8 mins

Base in TWD has always been 15 mins, yet in TSL where everything gets cut in half, somehow base doesn't. Not having the best of 3 in DD/JD has been detrimental to many of us who enjoy a good competitive match in those ships. It's especially painful when match making goes wrong or your not warmed up, the matches are too fast and it's frustrating. WB/JD games are done usually within 30 mins or less, basing games take over an hour and a half (3x the amount of time). Those who don't want to decrease base time are in the same boat as those who want best of 3 in WB/JD, to keep it competitive. 1 round in WB/JD is not competitive, so if we are going down that road, make base 7-8 mins. Either way, create a general fairness that doesn't favor one league over another since clearly TSL does just that with base. Thank you for your time and consideration.

wbs and javs> 10 mins
basers> 15 mins

new poll:
should we reduce wbs and javs to 7 lives per player?

[IxaDor]

wbs and javs 10 mins, thank you you are correct Rab! Basing being 15 mins? Bullogna! Base usually runs over 25 mins, that's because matchmaking system works and games are usually close, sometimes within 10 seconds of each other meaning the game went nearly 30 mins. Plus match making for base is 3 times longer, so we sit in spec sometimes as long as 30 mins. Base games eat up a huge chunk of time compared to wb and jav. And for your new poll, f you! I remain firm that base not being cut down where other leagues are is definitely not right, TSL should be about fairness not only to the player but the respected leagues it represents.

Edit: All I am asking for is compromise and a general fairness. Good day.

[Heaven]

this looks like base is staying at 15mins. thank you all for input.
