Freedom pvp league

Unless something has changed code-wise, defeats should still count for/against the side you were on within the setup terminal.

Emping whenever that happened was always a challenge, but as long as your team isn't getting wrecked and isn't spread out on a large map, it's not impossible. Buff cycles aren't difficult to remember-fort/cm/ab timers start running in the back of your mind after you emp enough. Being ready to heal a teammate that just got debuffed isn't always easy without a vocal que; otherwise, you can try watching overhead health bars.

I wouldn't really call most of the team ups stacked, its pretty random match ups as far as things go, and most people are just playing what they want too. I don't know how it is for some, but I've been on good teams where it was an easy win, bad teams where there was no real chance and even had matches where it was down to the last few seconds or even going into sudden death. That to me says they can't be that stacked all the time.

In the 5 v 5's last night, as a stalker in two of the three matches I ended up pretty much shut down, first by a Grav/TA and the pain that is acid arrow, and in the third by a VEAT keeping me out of hide for most of the match. There wasn't much chance to win those two matches with only one other damage dealer, but it happens, where the other team happens to have your Kryptonite. The match we did end up winning, the other team had a cold, but our therm ran thaw so the emp was able to keep up. Just the way it goes.

Most of all its KB, I don't think anyone really goes into them expecting to see an exactly even match up between the two teams. Most times you do what you can except when a bad captain picks a bad team.

Can I just ask why wasn't I allowed on the KB's?

I did a Guardian pvp league last year and we had 9 teams sign up,but it didn't work out too well because the league should have been able to be run by the participants with out me being there, but most of the teams that were new to this had no idea what to do.
Im sure a league on freedom would work and i wont have time to participate in it, but good luck.

I used to host kickballs several times a week on Infinity, and this sort of thing came up a few times. I feel this way: if you're willing to jump in the pool of picks when you aren't a captain, then you should be willing to stick with the team you're dealt, even if you know it means certain defeat.

Maybe it's obvious to most of the participants what the outcome of a given match is going to be (based on picks), but there's usually someone present that needs to learn. And learning is a big part of kickball. Just try to use that as an opportunity to show someone why the loss was inevitable. If you don't feel like teaching/explaining, then I say just don't kickball...or step up and demand to be a captain and stop complaining.

Also, maybe you can use a "no-win" opportunity to practice. I actually found impossible situations helpful sometimes because they helped remind me of my limitations and still helped to improve my reaction times. As long as you explain to newer players that you're likely going to lose because of X or Y before the match starts, you'll have a lot fewer attitude problems while your team takes a beating.

back on point...I would say gl with a league but a partial roster partial draft sound sketch at best...Just to play devils advocate...suppose you get 10 man teams 5v5 6 weeks of matches and it's 5 roster, 5 draft? Even if you do everyone plays you can (and you know people will) do roster/picks/roster to win.

Plus what is to stop anyone from stacking? say I register with 5 people roster then get 4 or more to sign up as picks...even If I am late in the first round I am going to end up with a team of 6-8 people I know who can pvp...

I would say you have to go captains and full draft...
