Deathmatch Idea

[mikag35]

I am sick and tired of getting teamed on in DM. If they weren't already teamed, the 2 other people in deathmatch with me usually random team on me, even if I'm not the most stacked person. I think that a 1v1 system of some sort should be implemented. I understand it's an odd number of people with 3-man deathmatches, but I have two basic ideas for how this could work.

My first idea is that two of the last three people are randomly selected and put into a 1v1. After this 1v1, the winner is healed. Then, the last two 1v1 and the winner of that obviously wins the game. The only debatable part is when the players should be healed. Should they be healed going into the first 1v1? Should the player who didn't have to fight in the first 1v1 be healed as well in case he didn't have food or something? There are plenty of questions that would have to be answered. Also, I'm sure many people would debate that the system is too luck-based, but that's up to them to decide.

My second idea is to increase the amount of people required for deathmatch to begin to 4. This way, there would be two separate 1v1's and then the winners of each would be healed and they would duke it out for the win. Again, some of the same questions would be raised about when the players should be healed or which players should be healed at which time and stuff like that.

I'm sure this is a very controversial topic for some people. As I said before, many people would say it's too luck-based and blame their death on having to fight two people/good players, depending on which of the two systems. I think it's fair though, because either way the best player wins. 1v1 or not, sometimes players will get lucky or unlucky in PvP. I think that having bad luck in the 1v1 system is a lot better than having the bad luck of dealing with teams. Also, people might just start to counter it by just making bigger teams of 3 and 4 so everyone can get in the deathmatch. Also, people might argue that this affects clan battles/scrimmages, but I'm not to savvy with how clans work, so I really don't know.

All in all, though, I think this is a good idea and the good things cancel out and override the bad things about it.

If you were planning to do a 1v1 system, which I think could be a good idea with some minor changes, I suggest a four man deathmatch. Four man deathmatches in my opinion are better in every way. Firstly, since there are usually teams in deathmatch, if there was one team, the other two players could work together against the team. Otherwise, 1v1s would work as well with a ladder. Two people fight, and then the next two fight for the winner. Cool idea though, and with some changes, this could really improve the quality of mcsg in and of itself.

Hope this helped!

I hate being teamed on in DM just as much as the next guy but I feel as if the point of Deathmatch is for that FFA feel. Maybe instead there should be a Deathmatch arena for every map that are well built for taking out teams and remove lightning?

I like this idea, don't get me wrong, but with what you said, this might ruin the entire point of stuff like clan battles, and what if the game spans on and the game has like 6 or 7 people. How will the plugin make that work (with odd numbers). The deathmatch will be more like a tournament instead of a well, you know, deathmatch. I like the idea, but you should twist it a little bit to make it more efficient for people who are in clans and stuff like that.

I like the second idea most. Great thoughts.

Maybe make a different game mode like SG heroes on Hive?

I am more entitled to the second idea. The first makes it unfair for those who are selected to 1v1. Great ideas and suggestions!

Maybe clans could have their own SG servers dedicated to them, if that's even possible with the weird new sign system. These servers could have the old FFA-style deathmatch back. If that's not possible due to the new sign system, then maybe they could go as far as to make them their own gamemode, but I'm not sure how that would work out. The MCG staff already has a lot on their plate with fixing MCGamerv2 bugs and preparing for the leaderboard update.

I know, but still. It would be alot of work to go through when they can just leave the DM thing alone.

But then the entire problem I brought up won't get resolved. I get teamed on 3/4 deathmatches, not even exaggerating. I just want it to stop. Even if I'm not the most stacked, it will happen.

I really can't believe how many people have suggested this, and how many mods it has taken to reject them.

Pros-
-would allow two teams, or 3 1v1s
-would stop 2-teams in dm from winning all the time
-could make boosting less common
Cons-
-allows 3 teams instead
-if there are two teams and a single player, that player basically has to take out one team and immediately take out another team and sometimes a single player in dm
-if there is a 1v1v1v1, it will be MORE indecisive than a 3-player ffa
-more cleanups
-even shorter cames
-makes refill practically impossible to occur
-causes people to have less gear going into dm
-bigger dm arenas for every map, or a feeling of clausterphobic chaos
-the original Hunger Games WAS a 2v1

Those were just the ones I could think of.
