tl;dr No draws because maps are not equal. A map win should be the only way to earn points in ETF2L.

Not sure if that matters a whole lot tbh; playing different opponents on different maps weighs much heavier in terms of score ‘randomness’ (ie you can lose a map to a “weaker” team just because they are better on that particular map). The only way to straighten that out is to play every opponent on every map, but for obvious reasons that’s not entirely feasible..

Just as a minor sidenote/poll; what if a match score was based on the amount of round wins? ie a 3-1 win gets you more points than a 3-2 win.
I know this has been discussed before and wasn’t favoured much at all, but I just wanted to roll the ball and see where it goes :)

It could potentially bring out very stalematey matches if teams are more interested in not dropping points than winning points.

EDIT: could work on koth though

[…]Please enlighten me as to how golden caps are so great. Oh knowledgeable savior of TF2. Seriously though golden caps and the point distribution is fucking stupid.

“But it’s more trouble than it’s fucking worth imo”

1: you make it sound like playing tf2 is some kind of chore, nobody is asking you to do it, go be productive if it’s so tough (e-begging doesn’t count)

2: fuck people watching casts, right? We don’t want exciting games, they are just so troublesome, tf2 will surely get more popular this way

Tf2 is never going to get popular anyway, it’s taken less seriously than cod

That’s not a reason or an excuse not to try.
