A suggestion regarding MGE

So I’ve been playing a fair bit of MGE/lobbies recently, just to get my aim back up pretty much (playing RTS games tons doesn’t do it much good) and one thing I’m noticing playing MGE is that there is pretty much no incentive to actually jump at your opponent in soldier vs soldier battles. A lot of it can just devolve into pinging each other with rockets for 30hp until one of you dies.

What this bassically promotes is super boring and stacked play, where for example one soldier wins, and then can just sit on badlands spire and win round after round because he has such an incredibly good position. There’s no reason from him to move from there if he wants to win. Same with the high pipe on granary last, and crates in granary mid.

Just a thought.

Good point. Bassically what i’m saying is there should be some incentive to actually attack your opponent. Not something majorly game changing, but like for example in QL, even if your opponent has a better position, you can go get the armour/health and have 3x their health so it doesn’t really matter.

Well your reward for killing the player is the height advantage, perhaps try and kill the opposing player thus taking the height advantage yourself?

I mean for the guy who already has height advantage. There’s no reason to move from his position.

Well kind of the point the person stays on the high ground, how you win the fight. Objective is to win.

Why I like to go demo and sticky them off spire then they say ‘OMG STICKZ NOOB’ I am like ‘You wouldn’t stand on spire in a match versus a Demo would you? WOULD YOU?’

I do it to teach them…honest.

idd.

In an actual game, there isn’t a good reason for the soldier to get off spire either. You bomb him to get him off and if you succeed you now have the same advantage. I don’t see any problem.

Here is a real suggestion to MGE servers: Ban the Manthreads!

Fucking annoying poitwhores using them on endif especially..

More annoying things:
– Shotgun soldiers on endif. (YES, you actually get a kill with the sg if you hit midair…) [might be only one MGE server, ne or LZ, dunno anymore)
– Snipers using the Darwin Danger Shield, so you have to headshot them twice to kill them or wait a too long timespan until their buff is gone while they can merrily bodyshot you to pieces
– people gaying around with 5hp while you still have 200+ instead of just suiciding themselves so the game is fun and fast paced
– …

Edit:
Lets just go vanilla whitelist. And get some medpacks at the ground?

Edit2: Also, rockets/pipes should dissolve or do no damage after their owner dies, so no facing the opponent with only 150hp cus they hit you after they died
