When I played CTF PVP in Dark Legends the majority of the players wanted to win the game (to be the first to capture 5 flags). No one really paid attention to people's ratios. We were known by our reputation. There was a player named Qoom (also mooq) who barely had a 1:1 ratio but you always wanted him on your team because he would relentlessly go after the flag and would barrel into 3 of the opposing team to save the flag. There was a few other players (who shall remain nameless) who had 3:1 ratios but you didn't want them on ur team because they wouldn't guard flag, wouldn't go for flag, etc. All they would do would chase people around to kill steal.
In DL people also wanted to have a good, competitive game. If teams were unbalanced people would switch sides to even things out and be competitive.
It's different in AL. It seems like most people's main goal is to get on an overpowered team and/or protect their ratio. Most people leave if they get killed two or three times in a row, people will run into opposing teams flag room to get mana but then run back out without ever touching flag, etc.
So here's my first question:
"Do you really want a COMPETITIVE 5 vs 5 CTF match"?
Here's the follow up:
"If so, what actions can be taken to encourage competitive matches?"
Here's my idea:
I think the main difference in AL and DL ctf is the fact that DL has a death match (DM) arena and AL doesn't. It seems to me that most players in AL don't like to play CTF but would rather play DM.
Do you guys think that bringing a DM arena to AL would free up the CTF arena so those of us who actually want to have competitive CTF games can while those who want kills/ratios etc, (but don't want to flag) can go do that in DM?
