I wouldn't say slowly. You guys are actually progressing very fast. From the 44-0s to 22-6 19-9 is very impressive. You guys just need to stay focused and active. We should start doing Mondays.

Internals are a perfectly fine way to focus on fundamentals like spike and evade. They're only worthless if that's all you ever do. Nothing wrong with running internals for an hour or two once a week.

Even fundamentals practice is better vs another team. For evasion practice are you telling me 1/2 of Shenanigans can out spike Ware.wolves? The only thing I have found useful is testing attack chain damage numbers, and that wasn't an internal it was just Payroll by heemsealf

Even for spike and evasion practice internals are pretty pointless if you have other teams to practice against, if anything practice matches give players a better opportunity to practice those exact things anyway.

No, you are wrong, internals are stupid for those reasons. Please don't ever quote my post again in disagreement.

It was convenient, that's all. Trust me I never look at anything you say with any kind of interest. It's just not worth it.

To everyone that's not an idiot, I would never argue against the better value of practicing with another team. I just think that internals also have merit depending on what you're looking to do. That is to say, I don't think you garner zero benefit from them.

Yeah you can argue that internals have merit, but so could practicing spikes on Rikti Pylons.

Considering that everyone these days just wants to do 1-3 matches (officials, internals, practices, it doesn't matter) before running off to do PVE. I think the best use of this limited time would be to do 8v8s.

A tad too aggressive for my taste, take a step back, maybe a breather or two, and then re-approach me.

I've done maybe 3-4 internals in the entire time I've engaged in team PvP.

Clearly this has been to my detriment.

Smoke isn't saying internals are the best way to practice. He's just saying that it's better than sitting in Pocket D jumping up and down.

It's hard to glean that from anyone when most teams would rather do internals than say... practice against another team.

I'm not being specific here, the guilty parties know who they are.

Get the **** out of our thread with your pointless discussion. We don't have enough team members to do internals, so take this **** to Shenanigans' thread.

Give me matches any day, especially against Ware and Exile. And 2 or 3 hours, not 2 or 3 matches. But if my choices are some vs none.. I'll take some. Or internals vs none.. I'll take internals. Or if a team mate asks me specifically to run some internals to work on something in a setting I can more easily stop and explain something or show them something, then I'll do that too.

I don't care, I just want to play.

I think it would be prudent to call for a redraft so we can get rid of all the people that no-show and pick up any potenshes that'd be interested in putting themselves in the drafting pool.

Redrafts can be called at any time given there's actually free agents in the pool.

If we call for a redraft, can people quit other teams and join the drafting pool?

You can but there's no draft protection or anything like that in re-drafts, so it's possible that you will be picked up by a team you didn't want to be picked up by. I also would be hesitant to call a redraft if we only have like 4 or 5 free agents or some kind of low number, or if it were just 1 or 2 teams interested.

Why would you be hesitant to call for a re draft? If theres people that quit a certain team and end up on the free agent pool no matter how low the number is, should be given a chance to be drafted onto a new team, especially if at least 2 teams show interest. no?
