[LTD] Ban mercenary on mega bot

[RadiantCrystal]

Merc takes skill to perfect. You just don't realise it because any noob can play merc and still do well because its so op.

Of course I realize you need some skill and judgement to perfect it. In fact that stays true for all races. I never referred to those noob mercs who don't know what they are doing.

I know where all the hate is coming from as I have lost to merc before as well. But that is not the reason to ban a race from the map. Because the race is impossible to beat? Certainly not so why would you ban something that's tolerated by the map and not so op even when you know how to play the race? Winning against a "skilled" merc also show people your true skills and judgement. Or are you just to afraid to play vs a merc?

@Uryn I stopped reading after I read your first argument
1. Merc is just better than any other builder.

this is untrue because Merc is not just better than any other builder. Enough said. If you don't know how to beat it, that just shows you need to improve your game skills

But really your arguements:
4. It sounds like nearly everyone hates merc, when talking about it in a game.
if you want an argument to be valid, you need to be objective, not just throwing in oh so people hate it so we should ban it.

I will not comment on 2 and 3 but I think I made my point clear enough

Sure I know 4. isn't an valid argument, thats why I added a poll to this suggestion.

And I know pretty good how to beat merc, thats not my point.

So what is your real problem then? lol to initiate something you must have some sort of fact or stats to back you up or else who will take you seriously? Both of your posts has lots of "I think", "it seems" and "it sounds" etc vague terms. Also stating facts that are even confirmed or true which mislead people to an extent. I don't know what games you played here but in my last 50 games in mega, I can tell you no one went merc in cross had some people crossed.

[Uryn]

I've made my point about merc and you made yours. If you could play 50 games without this to happen its good for you. It doesn't happen very often but it feels like the number of this kind of games is getting more.
I can't proof it and if it is like you say and no one is taking me serious just close this topic.

The reason for this suggestion was to start a discussion about it and see how the community thinks about it.

Will give this poll till end of august.

If someone is merc on a team and everyone on that team leaks except for one person, that one person that holds is the person playing merc. Almost always the merc player will then go on to hold all of the leaks for all the other players.

merc and crossers are scum of the earth

[doceshivas]

Its obvious that merc need to be banned i myself stoped playing because its almost impossible to play a PROPHET GAME winhout ppl abusing the shit out of OP merc and even worse after the game the cocksucker swears hes a ''pro-player''
Really ? You had to resort using mercenary to win and even go as far to say youre pro ? Wtf ?
+1 For ban reason for sure, especially on a prophet game

If someone truly wants they can make sure to join only -hp games and then pick merc on every single one of them. save 323892039203920392039203920820938720382038203802380280 levels and then win every single time

better kills fucking crossing tooo

[aRt)Y]

To clarify, the "ban in general" would only apply to ent18 and ent96?

[nabo.]

ent 31 and 35 already prohibits merc, so if we go with this suggestion, we will be banning the usage of merc all together on all ltd bots.

Edit:

Added announcement for votes on ent 18 and 31.

idk how to play with shit rolls so I just go merc whenever my rolls are bad plz let me stay above 1k elo ty

[mY_doTa]

Wel i dont get it why everyone hates merc so much,it has its weakness also,like sending a good round,but ofc its troublesome to figure it out sometimes
But this game is all about tactic, like what to build,should we cross,should we send lvl 1 warriors,when do we send? should we upgrade king hp so the merc thinks we are actually upgradeing the king? or etc etc,this game is so about tactic and givin thoughts about it,so merc should say id say,cause its part of the game,a good tactical move if its needed

suggested before it was cool 8)

ENT-wide merc ban will go into effect tomorrow (Saturday).
