Idea /1v1 For CTF

If you want a 1v1, use Kit Brawl
-1

 

>Team gamemode and not kit
>KitPvP gamemode exists within same server
>????

 

tfw you advocate for a thing and explain why it shouldn't be added two sentences later

 

that is a soup or pot or gapple 1v1 with kitpvp classes tho. 1v1s on kitpvp are much different to 1v1s on ctf.

it isnt totally fair to say if you want a 1v1 to go to kitbrawl cuz literally the only thing that kitbrawl and spades' idea have in common is that it is a 1v1 feature. everything else, weapons, armour, healing mechanic, etc, would be different on ctf than it would be to kitbrawl. if kitbrawl had ctf classes on it that you could practice 1v1s with then I would agree with u but it doesn't, so I agree with spades

 

Fair enough, but I don't like the idea of adding a 1v1 sort of "minigame" into a team based game. I think it would just increase the amount of people complaining / boasting about 1v1's or flooding chat with invites / taunts.

Of course, having a 1v1 Kit Brawl section with CTF might be useful because the pvp is different than Kit Brawl's kits. However, just spawning in two classes on a Kit Brawl map wouldn't be an accurate representation of a 1v1 between two CTF classes. Terrain is a huge part of 1v1's, especially in CTF since classes like mage and archer can dominate in large open spaces, and heavy can crit anything to death in confined spaces.

However, we should note that Spade's idea simply has two unbuffed heavies fighting as the 1v1, not different classes.

If we were to add the class selector, would both players be forced to play the same class? I mean, 1v1's on CTF can range from any variation of two classes, so wouldn't you also need a class selector for the challenged to be able to choose their class?

All of that is kind of little stuff, but the main thing why I don't want this added is because of server space. I don't want to have people joining a CTF game simply to spam invites to every player and sit in spawn. This is like splitting the CTF server into two separate servers still sharing the same player limit. The people only joining for 1v1's would hurt their team because they aren't playing the team game and are taking up space for people who would play the team game. Not to mention, some people are laggy enough on CTF. Why would we want to add an entire other structure off into the distance.

Also you would have to do a lot of little things to ensure that people wouldn't abuse it.
- Destroying engineer teleports before teleportation to the arena
- No flag glitching
- Out of ender pearl distance from map
- Closed room (soldier / ninja / elf)
- Time limit (in case if the game / server ends or if the two players are just sitting in the 1v1 box, assuming only one of these would be active)

 

I don't believe something like this is necessary or a priority at the moment. There are more ideas regarding buffs/debuffs/fixes that I believe should be taken more into consideration rather than this one imo.
