Silver Sky Magician -> RE: underdog removal (11/18/2015 22:13:35)

From NW the last time this was brought up, along with other suggestions for increasing the advantage of ranked players: quote:
I'm not sure what the OP is getting at. EpicDuel would be like chess if there were only one class and everyone had access to the same skillset. ED has asymmetrical balance which, while being more interesting (to me, anyway) it's much harder to manage. Chess players are ranked so a newb doesn't play a grand master. In ED, sometimes a high-level player will match with a lower level, but we don't want the lower level discouraged from playing ever again -- hence the Underdog core. Not all fights can be "fair", but they should at least be competitive. No player should have a magic win button that destroys everyone, because although it sounds awesome, it would get old after awhile. Legendary ranks and perks can be adjusted over time as balance trends change. In other words, removing underdog and other methods of increasing PvP rank advantage are not supported i.e. will not be considered and it is pointless to continue pushing for this idea. Balance trends have not changed such that this idea is justified from a balance perspective. There is also no evidence that underdog mode is overpowered as ranks are objectively and mathematically superior.
