Whitelist Update

The decision to ban the Loch-n-Load this Season started after receiving feedbacks from the Prem players. We have reviewed this and came to the conclusion that the upsides brought by the weapon were superior enough compared to the downsides to be considered banned.

Upsides:

  • +20% damages to buildings (which means destroying level 3 sentries in 2 pipes)
  • +25% grenade travel speed (which means building will be destroyed before you even start reacting unless you are already hitting your buildings)
  • Grenades do not tumble when fired (which means they go straight lines)

The result is faster grenade going straight lines and farther and doing more damages to the buildings.

Downsides:

  • -1 ammo clip
  • No roller

In a competitive environment rollers are barely used on purpose. They sometimes serve the purpose of small radius damages for what you missed as direct hits. In the very few situation you wish to spam a cornered area stickies can replace the grenades.

Comparing the upsides with the downsides we feel the Loch-n-Load is an upgrade from the Iron Bomber/Grenade Launcher.

Arguably some of you may disagree or dislike our decision but we believe it’s the right one. We will review the ban at the end of the Season to see how people felt about it.

The whitelist can be found here and is ready to be used.

Provisional Tiers & Restrictions

Down below are this Season’s provisional tiers. If you can’t find your team it could be due to you recently changing your team name or not having 6 players rostered on your team page. Teams marked in yellow are more likely to be moved if there is a need to change teams around.

Unhappy about your place? Feel free to contact us over Discord. These tiers are still subjected to change if teams make a good case as to why they should be moved.

  24. Mong: VVV said:

    I hate the loch n load but why must admins be so obviously wrong about banning it? No downgrades? Clear upgrade? Clearly not. Read the red text of the weapon. Oh wait, admins can’t read. Maybe just say it’s slightly too powerful in some situations, too different from normal pipes (different timing and range which confuse players) and unfun to play against.
