merge LTD mega with 1200+

[oxoDus]

Hi, As community has shrank dramatically it would make sense to merge those two rooms.
Since Brouder's new map provides with no mid mode, if you want you can still play without cross/merge on LTD Mega .
People who still play this game are not noobs so 1200+ is unnecessary in my opinion.
2 separate rooms delay the game start as players can't enter 1200+, separating the already small community in half.

Given that you point out the players aren't noobs, doesn't that mean you'd just be forcing the cross players and the no-cross players together for no reason? If the people in the 1200+ room wanted to play cross, I'm sure they would notice there was a lobby with people in it and join.

You don't even know what nomid mode is, so you missed the point. Nomid mode enables MEGA to be exactly the same as 1200+ . So people do have a choice cross or no cross, there is no forcing them to play one or the other. Though in this day and age barely anyone plays cross, if they do it;s to reach 1200elo because it's stronger tactic.

Some people just want to play LTD and some like me have their stats deleted due to inactivity. Maybe some are new and just want to play LTD. Sometimes only 1200+ room is filling ,so you have no option to play. Reaching 1200 elo is 10 times harder than it used to be in the past, because you can only play few games at certain hours a day. That's a lot less than being able to play any hours and any minute like in the past.

It’s a logical thought, but I’m afraid that it will cause a lot of problems. Magnifiс played for several months before the ban and there are others like him. To avoid the TK, it may be better to lower lobby from 1200 to 1100, but I'm not sure how this idea will show itself.

Also the whole point of 1200+ back in the day was so people could play without cross and there wasn't no mid mode to disable that.

Reasons to have different bots:
1. Having an elo requirement gatekeeps the bot from curious people from other parts of ENT like dota.
2. Although the majority of people on Mega are long time players, the skill gap is still evident, and there is still a few players who only know the basics who get avoided even on the Mega bot.
3. Still people who play cross on Mega who would probably do it on the combined bot, which would cause chaos.
3. 1200+ players would never want it. They would oppose reducing the elo requirement too. It would only cause people to quit most likely.

Enable votestart already so we can 2v2 in mega... On the dead hours like right now (ive been in same lobby for 4 hours waiting)... 2 times it managed to have 4 people in it and we wanted to start and 2v2...

[Bobchi]

Yes I agree with this because I currently have been waiting for an hour in mega.. and I see 1200+ and normal were both half full

The other option you have is to join FirstBloodGaming, where we have an active league for both skilled (LIHL) and less skilled (FBG) players.

... Aaaaaand the Legion TD has died because of split bots, while Hellhalt is still active. You wanted high elo room but u'll get neither now.

Lifes hard, it was such fun moments in the past with ENT and BGN but now... memories.

@oxodus ENT is like 90% Dota players. Even with failed no support we out live any game on ent. ENT.11 ftw

@CatDog00000001 I disagree; if you click on "Games" -> tick "Include games in progress" you will see that there are more games running in Hellhaltd TD than Dota, Also Legion TD is completely dead which was even more popular than Hellhalt TD.

[CatDog00000001]

Im certain there are more Dota players and if you look at the slots Dota have 10, hellhalt is 6, legion td was 8.
If you do the math you'll see theres more players per game, and Sometimes it depends on the time. Hellhalt and ltd can be more active, but not 24/7. Dota is #1 right now.

[oxoDus]

The number of players are very close, anyway my point is Legion TD was way more popular than hellhalt TD, pretty sure was more popular than dota, only statistics from database could answer that. Anyway, the fact is Legion TD has died because of split rooms(because maps which don't have split rooms are still active).
