Todays KOTH was a prime example of why KOTH needs better rewards.

After rereading this post, it is quite jumbled and may be hard to understand to fully understand the point I'm trying to make, look at the bit at the bottom of the post for an explanation.

So, i just finished KOTH. Where team Chaos won after a gruesome 3 hours and 24 minutes. Excluding the length, this was exactly how KOTH should be. Chaos and SuB, two teams fighting it out, team fights, outnumbering, lots of chances for the better team to be victorious. Excluding the time, there were some fun moments today.

Again, this is generally how KOTH should be.

Some would argue that KOTH should finish faster and i agree, but there is little denying this is how KOTH should be in terms of fighting. Now whats the problem? The problem is, i personally (using myself as an example cause i know exactly what i lost, not trying to complain because most of my teammates used more than me):

I used 3 separate sets of armor up until they were close to broken, and even broke a helmet once (didn't want to shop glitch while so many people were on) and this will eventually cost me tons of xp and diamonds.
I lost a set, due to dying (not complaining about my death, highlighting that you can die in KOTH which makes it useless to go back to, which i will touch on later)
I spent probably close to 30-40 gold on potions, while also constantly warping back to pot banks putting them at a tracking risk.


And for all of this, i got 1 gapple, a moosh egg, and a stack of xp bottles.

Now what is the problem for all this? Well, most KOTHS i haven't had a problem. Most KOTH's are stompy, where one team is capping and the other occasionally comes into knock. Ive participated in about 7-8 KOTH's now, and whether or not I'm on the receiving end of this or on the winning side, all of the other KOTH's of played this was definitely the most competitive one.

Now, when KOTH plays out like it supposed to play out, it may be fun but is hardly worth it. KOTH's require so much resources from players and I'm probably going to flat out quit if i get out of the fight with a broken p4 set now, because taking another one usually just isn't worth it.


Combined explanation: When KOTHS work out like they are supposed to with 2+ teams fighting over the crown, its hardly worth it. The rewards need to be greater which will be a greater incentive for more people to play and reward people for the armor they need to repair etc. When KOTH is just a stompfest because only 1 team fully commits, then the rewards work out but this will likely not happen anymore if the rewards are greater cause people wanna do it.


hopefully y'all understand cause this was quite jumbled.

 

Absolutely not. KOTH is something people look forward too each weak and is a good way to show who's the best TEAM instead of what team just has the best players. Cause nothing else in raid besides raiding with your team really is a display of good teamwork and teams with good teamwork are fun to watch (ex: We might have individual players that are better than some of SuB's individuals, but their teamwork is much better.)
