base spider mvps

[Benno]

In time race games, spider deaths are generally meaningless since you aren't giving up any points to the enemy for dieing. But yet, ratio seems to be calculated into mvp for spiders. Getting alot of kills and alot of deaths can acctaully be more difficult that getting a comperable ammount of kills and few deaths. Staying alive (few deaths) offers more chances to shoot.

So really who is the more valuable spider, one with 70:65, or one with 60:20? I understand that designing a completly fair mvp system is impossible, but a system that avoids clear contradictions to the award would be preferable over one that was built for a differnt type of base game.

of course, in a time race, points means nothing
however, i'd still choose a player with 60:20 rather than 70:60

less deaths means you are spending less time in the spawning time and actually helping the team. and btw, who cares about mvps.. it's a team game.

[Fit of Rage]

It really does depend on the situation. A camper might pull out a rec of 77:19 like I did earlier tonight, and a pushing spider might rack up 60:30. He'd probably deserve mvp more because where he shoots and weakens the enemy, I would take the kills. I really think stats are just ego inflaters as of late, and that as long as your team wins, the stats shouldn't matter.

[Benno]

Ok I guess what im saying is that little spinning medal by your ship should count for something

Anyways, regardless of weather it is a team game or not, the mvp system influences how people play. Unlike bds or twlb where people really are palying a team game and not mvp hunting, placing the mvp carrot back in the direction of playing for the team might make go base games more competetive.

Hellkite Suicide Fish and myself.. sometimes with lil mofo had one of the best spider lines ever... tru. Base was ours for years. c4l

Was this before or after you slept with 10 women at the same time?

In a basing match, you shouldn't focus on having the MVP spider, but on the team as a whole. You can have one good spider, or whoever gets MVP. But unless the team works as one cohesive unit in a base, your cram/line/attack will fall apart and/or goto shit. Fuck MVP, its all about the win.

wow i seem to have forgotten to complain about this issue for a while. probably cause i havent played base in 4 weeks. i completely agree with benno tho. in some of my best 30 minute twbds i had over 110 deaths (and of course a lot more kills). it was cause i was rushing like crazy, having really short lives but getting a lot of kills and decimating the enemy in fr so my team could squeeze them in tighter. a camper will get a more regular stream of kills, and they usually wont be as important kills. when i camp i almost never get td's.

like ive said a million times, the mvp system sucks.

The mvp is whoever had the most fun!

I personally dont really care for the MVP system. Maybe the MVP system should be a vote on the game?

[NaiLed]

scrap the mvp and make lots of cool stats at the end of the game

[Azhran]

Like most repels used, most bursts used and more awesome stuff like that!

[Rion.]

Voting would be incredibly biased. You'd hear "WTF BS!" and the like after most base games in that event.

I personally dont really care for the MVP system. Maybe the MVP system should be a vote on the game?

Voting would quickly turn into a popularity contest. For instance, if jerome goes 20-57 in spider, and someone like... IoRY goes 60-40, who would you vote? I know I would vote jerome because IoRY is a retarded POS.

[Voth]

And yes, NaiLed had a good suggestion. I think MVP should be thrown out and a whole crop of sub-stats should you implemented. Kind of like the ones in Star Warzone and other Zones display after a flagging game ends.
