I never noticed this and I main demo. I see no difference on the rollout path, yes both sides are asymmetrical and have different props but it doesn’t affect rollouts I think

it’s because of spawn room differences, the same reason medics have to have a kill bind on red team and so on.

probably you’re not equally fast to the fastest ones then ;p

I’m aware of this, it is the fact it is only one map per week, even if you play it twice. I get fed up of scrimming same 2 maps each week, so one map a week would be even staler although it would allow for teams to really look at a map, evaluate it and think of the best strategies, experiment and by match day, realize what works and what doesn’t and use it.

Did the same in Highlander in UGC, but in HL I scrimmed like 3-4 times a week, with 6’s we’re talking doing 8-10 pcws a week.

I don’t think this is something that Americans actually do in their scrims, the same map over and over and over with no variance whatsoever. Of course the next map in the officials is emphasized and played a bit more, but I’m fairly sure some of the maps of the immediately following weeks are played as well; but what might happen is that the maps of the previous weeks’ officials disappear from the pool.

And in any case it’d be doubly bizarre to adopt this bizarre approach even if Americans did do it.

It’s all fun and games until you end up playing a stalematey 60 minute snakewater game and several people commit suicide.

wow killbind getgood why would you waste that 8% uber

I liked what I saw and it would be cool if next season would be with american ruleset. It makes the game more intense and interesting.

I don’t quite get what’s so much better about the American Ruleset, maybe someone can convince me.

My issues with it:
– If you do Team Switch midway, to do it properly you need a plugin. This is for scoring as well as confusion when switching
– For a spectator, you are switching sides midgame and suddenly all the colors are different.
– At optimum (roll) the American ruleset takes slightly longer than the shortest possible EU ruleset map
– At it’s worst, a map in EU ruleset takes 30 minutes without breaks, a map in American Ruleset takes 60 minutes. Both rulesets have a theoretical unending golden cap / tie breaker
– You are required to schedule two times a week in American Ruleset instead of the one time in etf2l. Sometimes I find scheduling a match with my full team 1 time a week difficult. This would be a problem for a lot of lower level teams that don’t have too much time to commit to officials. Don’t play that down please.

People complain that the winlimt 5 is preferable to windifference 5, making it more interesting, which is totally a point of view. i like watching windifference 5 more, with the option of there being more than 5 points possible for a team per map.

I agree with people complaining that the american ruleset can be more unpredictable in it’s length.

I agree that the break allows for tactic talk, but technically you can also use a pause. While the rules only specify 4 technical problems… oh well…

I agree that one side might have slight advantages on one color, even on symmetrical maps, but it’s debatable how huge those differences and advantages are. For me, they are mostly negligable.
