Pbw and ?go base

[Eeks]

?go base has a huge amount of unbalanced games. At least pub gives a chance to balance the teams.

I do NOT agree ... high bounty is a result your RELATIVE superior skills to your opponents. You can't get a high bounty if you are terribly sucky (unless you are very very lucky, that is).

No I did not miss your point, I ignored it because I agree with that part. I was merely commenting on what you're saying: bounty = skill.

Obviously it takes a bit of skill to not die and do stupid stuff like not running and not vulching. Also take in account that when your team controls the entire flagroom it is very easy to gain hight bounties (as Troll King said).

Think of the terriers at the roof. All they do is wait for their team to green a burst, and then it bursts through the 2 holes into the flagroom. Whenever someone goes to the roof to kill him, he warps away and sits in safe until the hunter gets bored.
Does this take skill? Hardly. Do you get a high bounty with this? Definately.

Next, the warbird. Some players like to do the same thing over and over again. Usually they find a spot, either outside base or in the outer regions of base, and shoot towards the flagroom and mid base.
Does this take skill? Nopes. Do you get a high bounty with this? Yes, until someone gets tired of it and hunts him down (with a cloaker, or else they'll warp away).


Bounty has little to do with skill, rather it is the playing style of a player that influences his bounty most.

True, so true

PBWs are good but some time when there are alot of ppl in ?go base, some helpful staffmember should not start the bot but tell everyone to go to pub. If a pub arena with 35 ppl in it has 14 decent basers it will soon evolve to something much more fun than a 8 vs 8 basing game. So if there are 40 players in ?go base, why not agree on an arena to go to so that it gets filled up with other players. Normal pub players enjoy a decent game too if there are others fighting for base too.

The main reason why I don't play pub much is that if a good fight for base even starts, it soon dies away when one team gets control and the other team gives up.

And when it is not PBW don't blame the LTs, they just add a little spice to it all and makes it harder to predict what will happen next.

If a staff member wouldn't start the bot, I'd just go afk in there until someone else did.
