Voting thread started.
I didn't include the team sizes in the vote this time. Larger teams have never strong support in the vote over the last year and a half. However, I think we should keep the discussion going for next vote.
One thing I noticed is that games in Mega Fort, when the teams are full, go by very fast. I mean, really fast. A 9v9 match is usually over in less than 10 minutes!
So, is it possible increasing the team size will help with the problem of Ladles going over time?
Ok, people in Mega Fort take lots of stupid risks they wouldn't normally do in competition. But even still, it looks to me like having those extra players on team do a few things:
1. More players might equal more kill points and thus as quicker match.
2. More players means less room on the grid and more chances to die!
3. More players almost certainly means more mistakes that result in zone conquers.
The downside of course is more lag, more difficulty getting a team together, and ultimately fewer teams since the community is pretty static. Personally, I'm totally cool with fewer, larger teams. I'm less interested in the growth of Fortress and more interested in the gameplay itself, and all of us having a good time.
For the next few months when Clan Wars happen, what if they didn't use 6v6 Ladle servers and tried out larger teams? And maybe they could record the time it takes to complete the wars?
But maybe I should edit my definition of a-holers:
