A Quick Recap on Tonight's Games

Boostz

So just some quick and very disorganized thoughts:

Good showing tonight, especially on the TS side. I know Horde is really good on the voice comm front but Ally had a good team of players in TS.

I know Ally were definitely hurting for FC's tonight, hopefully this is something that will be fixed soon with some players making new flag carrying toons.

After speaking to the other managers, there is a 'soft' ban on the use of guard in a non fc capacity. This is not being strictly enforced at this stage, it's generally up to the individual and how they feel concerning the ability. In most situations it's really not needed and is not encouraged, but given most games have 1 BM if that, I'm not too concerned. To the BM players not using guard, thank you.

The TP ally Rejuv hut Jump. I personally don't like it because of the LOS, but I still want to discuss it with the other bracket managers and see how they feel about it. Verdict on that is TBA.

Afking games. I get when it's real one sided it's rough. Been in plenty of those games. But while I was in one game I heard over 7 members of the Alliance team in the other BG afk'd at the same time. That's really not on. At least from the information I received Horde were not gy camping. Please do not afk out unless you actually need to leave your computer for an extended amount of time.
Second part of this is leaving games with less than 5 minutes to go. Some other poor person after queueing 10-15 mins gets into that game, and that's not fair. If you're wanting to swap characters and try and queue before the next set of pops, simply log out in the battleground with 30 seconds left. It won't kick you.

Still, overall a pretty good night, had some really close games and both sides were winning.

There's nothing else to discuss, it's bullshit.
 
Who should I contact if I want to get involved in the bracket?

Because it may end up being a learning phase for the bracket till everyone can do it. Like I said, I personally don't like the fact it's LoS, but there are similar versions in WSG that are allowed because everyone can get to them. I'm not going to race to a decision.

That being said, sitting at that spot for 8+ minutes is not okay in any form.

If you don't know the method, then don't say it's bullshit, rofl. You don't even know how to get there. :p Educate yourself instead of throwing the ban hammer.
 
I would like to throw my 2 cents in on the rejuve hut jump. I was very skeptical about it at first because I believed it was an advanced jump that required a bunch of practice and a speed increase and gave los safety. However, mvpee showed the team how to get up there and it is easier than getting in the nook over WSG tunnels(that also provides los) and much easier than the stump jump to the right, coming out of the ally tunnel.

I suggest making a 10 second video of the jump to show everyone. When I say it's simple, I mean I could give the keyboard to my girlfriend and tell her to hit jump+forward.
 
It is an easy jump just cause you don't know how to do it doesn't mean you have to get salty over it - ban flash bombs or else all shamans and druids will fear me.

Name a spot in Warsong Gulch where he can jump to and be unkillable for 10 minutes.

Exactly, there isn't one.

I can think of a few ...

Sitting inside the walls is just one of them. And this jump doesn't even require spells or movement speed or anything.

However, this one is so fucking advanced that it'd be stupid to not make it illegal.

Also I'd like to point out, that there are several ALLOWED jumps in WSG that makes you immortal against Melees, unless they know the jump.

Immortal against ranged and/or melees isn't relevant. What's relevant is the jump. If the jump is simple enough so you can learn your cat how to do it, then it should be allowed.

I guess the current issue I have is the promoting of that particular gameplay. I mean at the moment MVP is sitting up there for the entire duration of the game. Sure, people will learn the jump so they can try and chase him, but it's still going to cause x amount of people to stand, jump to the side, jump up, jump to the left, get on top and making games less enjoyable so that 1 person can do what he wants.

If MVP had any real argument he would have come out with it, it's obvious bias for something that only helps him. Not hard to see.

I just don't want to see banhammers coming out just because you can't be bothered to learn. I think my last post had a pretty good arguement. :)

I'm specifically queueing tp on my 100 to do this jump. I mean, do I really need to say anything? You felt it was fine to sit in an atm unkillable spot for an entire game and didn't care about gameplay in the slightest. You're basically trolling.

I was waiting for the right time to drop and cap. I wasn't sitting there while having the opportunity to cap. I was playing objectively.
 
i mean if he needs jumps to be on the level of any other fc then i guess who cares. personally i dont do any jumps and can't be bothered to. sad people need to terrain exploit just to be semi-decent.

Sorry, I will go run in straight lines & sit afk on ToT till my team comes and saves me. :^)

just kidding.
 
Also to the people talking about the ease, please note this is not the side wall, that's fine, no issue, this is specifically the hinge jump to roof as shown here: Twitch 4:56:15.
 
"A quick recap on tonights games" and all you do is talk about an easy jump? How about the consumables.. No one on Horde was using any except a few random people using felmouth and we asked them not to! But alliance, LOL arcane bombs, flash bombs, speed potting and half the team using felmouth. And then you call them good games over all. half your wins were gaytwinker flash bombing an FC and then bursting down with a rogue!! Real nice games....This activity is super healthy for the bracket.
 
Right, I'm sure a few flash bombs are worse than one player LITERALLY RUINING the entire game for 19 other people.

How biased can you be, for real?

I was not aware of the use of such consumables. No one mentioned anything to me and my bnet is comprised of over 60+ 39s. If I had I would have spoken to Trevor.
I was also in maybe 1 game with him the entire night.
 
Because he's grossly exaggerating. If you call those "real nice games" what do you call someone single handedly ruining the game for everyone else by wasting everyone's time?
