Thread: CoH2 LADDERS29 Aug 2013, 15:21 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2013, 15:02 PMWiFiDi the reality is that no stat system is much good at figuring out who si the best overall player. the reality on any given day the best player can go down thats because there are other factors other than stats. Not really sure what your point is here... This game shouldve had a ladder, it doesn't, it sucks. Edit: Relic really doesn't look good when they keep implying it's Valve's fault that the ladder isn't there. Basically they just released this game as a beta..."we'll finish it later". Newsflash: people don't like that. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 LADDERS29 Aug 2013, 14:59 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2013, 14:22 PMIpKaiFung I did not say ladders are bad I said you can't compare a ladder to a league, they are two completely different things and highlighted one of the differences between the two. Sure theyre different. As I said in my earlier post: apples and oranges. Now the question "are ladders a viable measuring stick for skill?" my answer is that they are but there are much better measuring sticks such as tournaments and league results. But, if done well, can be equally viable to measure skill. If a tournament is done poorly it doesn't reflect skill either. I also don't want to go down this road for the millionth time but there are plenty of games that have tournaments and no ladders that do exceedingly well. Indeed I would also like to know which games do exceedingly well without a ladder. SSF4, for instance, most definitely does use an ingame ranking system. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 LADDERS29 Aug 2013, 13:05 PM In my opinion both Relic and players like IpKai heavily underestimate the importance of having an INGAME ladder, and it is one of the bigger reasons of dwindling playernumbers of coh2 at the moment. A ladder means you always have something to play for. Its addictive. It makes every game interesting in it's own. Even if it's a bad ladder, and it promotes spamming games it still gets people hooked. Having only tournaments without a good ladder is stupid. The casual player will miss out on any form of competition cause he doesn't enter tournaments since he has more important things to do in the weekend -> he ends up leaving. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 LADDERS29 Aug 2013, 12:55 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Aug 2013, 10:47 AMIpKaiFung The setup for a football league is completely different to an rts ladder. In most leagues you have to play everyone twice over a long period of time. Rts ladders are just game spamming to climb up the ranks. Thanks for proving my point of the ladder needing to be well thought out and smartly setup. A ladder that rewards u for spamming games regardless of win or lose is a bad ladder. Still vastly disagree with ladders not being capable of reflecting skill. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 LADDERS29 Aug 2013, 10:40 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Aug 2013, 07:10 AMAmiPolizeiFunk The rest of us know that tournament performance is the real judge of skill, so if you want to see who's best, or how good you are, then watch or play in tournaments. Apples and oranges. Yes tournaments are a good judge of skill, and ladders can be as well. Just look at football for instance: they have tournaments and ladders. Doing good in a ladder is just as desired as winning a tournament like the Champions League. If a ladder is well thought out, uses decay and has a system to properly weed out cheaters and drophackers it can provide great competition. Besides it reflecting skill it causes people to keep coming back to try and get higher up. It is what gets people hooked to the game, so to say. In short I'd say that a ladder is both a reflection of skill, and a very necessary thing to have in a game. I don't understand why you always seem to justify Relic's bad decisionmaking. I mean, the game is great, but they really dropped the ball here and people should see it for what it really is: shit. In: Lobby
Thread: Too many players left...20 Aug 2013, 17:31 PM To the people saying you cant compare CoH2 in its current form to Coh1 after 7 years: fair enough. However(!), these same people seem to forget CoH1 was HYPE when it was released. It was all over the media, everybody was looking forward to it. It was, without a doubt, a triple A title. Now is CoH2 a triple A title as well? Hardly, most people I know didnt even know it was getting released. This results in a much smaller playerbase. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: HTD nerfed? O RLY?3 Aug 2013, 22:23 PM Is this Porygon dude just one big troll or what? Dude seriously, if I look at the amount of negative posts you're making here why on earth are u still playing CoH2? If I had only 10% of your frustrations I would not be playing CoH2 anymore. Just another tip: adding stuff like "O RLY?" to your topictitle makes u look like a 12y old kid... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: OMGPOP! vs TitiTwister3 Aug 2013, 22:19 PM The first 2 games were awesome to watch. They were a true showcase of CoH2 being able to become just as good as CoH1 is/was. This third game, unfortunately, kind of highlights the balance issue with the soviet snipers we all know exists. The Ostheer just don't have any counter to properly microed snipers, and Titi ends up taking it up the pooper because of this. All in all a great series of games guys, loved to watch them! Edit: Even the 2nd game was exciting to me. It felt like Titi could come back till the end. In: Replays
