[LTD] Mercenary coming back to ENT18 and ENT96

[Sammy]

I haven't played LTD in over a year but since I came back I noticed that the LTD bots were updated to remove the mercenary from the game. The entire ENT community has a collective voice and I am starting up this new poll to allow everyone to vote on this matter. I did not vote on the suggestion poll to remove merc back on August 15th 2015 and I noticed that it had 2 voting options for banning merc and only 1 voting option for allowing merc. The poll that I have created is balanced with only 2 voting options as it should have and will be available for the next 30 days.

There are 4 reasons why mercenary should be on both ent18 and ent96 bots:

1. If 1 or more persons get disconnected from the game in where u may have a 4 vs 3 or 4 vs 2 mercenary should be allowed. I have won a game where there was only 1 person on my team vs 4 people and I have won with merc on a few occasions.
2. When I play LTD in almost every other game someone crosses and every now and then the Valuer in the cross leaves or gets disconnected leaving little to no option for the incomer to use except to go merc.
3. If someone accidentally sells their tower and there is no way to recover then merc should be available.
4. A lot of people within the ENT community enjoy the option of having merc and especially in such cases as I have mentioned above.


Please vote! And please share your thoughts on why Mercenary should be allowed.

I know some people may dislike mercenary and I will not allow any negative or hurtful comments on this topic. Thank you and have a great day!

No. The situations you described occurs in 1% of cases. In 99% of cases it's abused because it's OP.

I asked the entire ENT community to share their thoughts on this matter. Once the poll is finished in 30 days we will decide on bringing merc back into the game. Also there is no statistical evidence that can prove your Percentages that you shared. Thank you and please vote!

I have to agree with Sammy on this one. I think my stats and elo should be protected and If a game gets messed up because someone lags out there must be an option to improve ones chance of winning a game even though it would be a challenge. Besides, this is a split issue some people like merc and some people don't so there should be a bot with merc and a bot without merc but I will vote for merc as I have reasonable grounds to allow it.

The reason we removed merc and made it bannable was due to it being abused. I saw more instances of abuse than it being used to recover. I doubt we will be bringing it back, to be honest.

Merc was more abused then used by noobs or to recover.
There is nothing i can prove this with... but everyone who played like 100 games back then with merc should know it's true.

You can just man up and play the game. I used merc before simply because it's easier and doesn't consume much brain power. But it's not like I can't win without it or anything like that. I agree that in rare circumstances you get outrolled or something you do lose the game even if you are more skilled but that's how the legion platform works now. Until a new version releases that's the way it will be played.

Merc got deleted due to 1 reason:
@RadiantCrystal did abuse it like hell.
As long as he dont stops playing Warcraft III, i dont see the option to bring Mercenary back to the game.
