But it's wins that count </3

and to be honest despite them being pretty stacked I was stacked myself and they all gave me 10 points or less.
Ouch. Sounds like a rough match. I feel for you there, friend.
P.S. Watch the double posting. ;)

I am sorry but there is not point of making a thread about it. Its just a Death match where people where teaming. Ive been in it before and I havnt posted on the forums.

Gustyy I'm not new! I have ~230 wins and recently I've won more than half my matches playing solo. I'm really not too bad, although you did own me a few days ago on breeze. Just frustrating when something like this happens, and there's not a lot you can do about it.

and TheBluemeerkat why shouldn't I post about it? If it's something I think can be improved upon, then why wouldn't I post it in the section of the forums which is dedicated to posting things you think can be improved? :p

Also, the double post wasn't me; it's a glitch.

1. Four person deathmatch- this has been suggested many times before, and although it would make teams of 3+ even harder to handle, it could help prevent double teaming.

2. No countdown / very short countdown- This is a less radical change that would prevent randomly agreeing to team in chat, as well as stop the cheap, near-unavoidable bowshot at the start of deathmatch. Players with bad computers would complain that they need time to load the map, but this can be circumvented by changing your render distance to tiny during the countdown, which you usually have a chance to do in my experience.

3. Players start deathmatch spaced equally apart- On a map such as Valleyside where the podiums are very tightly packed and you spawn in between the other players there is a good chance you will take a couple of hits on top of any bow shots as soon as deathmatch starts. I think this is a much better alternative and would result in the better player winning more often.

Please tell me if you agree/disagree, or if this is just wishful thinking :)

TL;DR tem pls i fan

Ok I will respond to these in order and why I agree or Disagree.

1. I strongly disagree. I can take out 2 people at deathmatch but 4 people could result in being triple teamed. I doubt that anyone could handle being triple teamed. People normally have no need to have a team bigger than 3 because deathmatch can't have more than 3 people. But with it being able to hold more people then teams of 4 will roam and Normally i see 2 teams of 3 per game and that means that with 4 in deathmatch the teams will increase and people will complain that teams of 4 are destroy and the complaining about the 4 person deathmatchs will begin.

2. I disagree but it could be worth changing. Even if the deathmatch were to begin more or less right away I'm sure someone could shoot you with a bow. I know that I probably could but also other people could also. YOu also can't expect people just to change their render distances for deathmatch. I know that it could only be fair to you that Deathmatch start almost right away but also the bad PCs can't handle this and it is unlikely that anytime soon they will get an upgrade. They also need a fair advantage and so they have to have time to load. They can shoot you with a bow but you could also shoot them back. One tip I recommend for this is they have to hit you as you move so do a fake out as you start and they will miss.

3. This one I will agree with but that won't change that people will always target the better player. So to reduce this put your armour in your hotbar. when the deathmatch begins scroll over to it and right click on all your armour (to equip it) and that will help you not get shot right away. The Spacing more apart would be nice because if they don't have bows they like to rush the guy in the middle unless you team.

My thoughts only.

I agree that the fist two suggestions aren't great. The third is the one I would actually advocate.

I already take off my armour before deathmatch, but my main concern is that when you're up against an actual team, not just two solo players double teaming you, you can take 4 hearts of damage straight away which makes it very hard to win if they know what they're doing, especially if you spawn between them. If the players were spaced out equally, you would have a better chance of dodging their arrows and they both wouldn't be immediately on top of you, so you could isolate them more easily.

edit: 47knight471 I'm not a noob, and if you read the op properly instead of making assumptions you'd know that I'm not complaining about teams at all.
