So hopefully you've noticed the new poll. Since no one has combated the idea of starting S18 after Memorial Day, that gives us a 2 month long off season. If there's enough interest, we'll have a tournament like we did last year to eat up some of that time and do focused map testing.

To also mix it up, i'd suggest we use the SK:X item set. Otherwise it's just a USL mini season.

<b>Sunday April 28th</b>
A vs. B
C vs. D
W-AB vs. W-CD
L-AB vs. L-CD

<b>Sunday May 5th</b>
A vs. C
B vs. D
W-AC vs. W-BD
L-AC vs. L-BD

<b>Sunday May 12th</b>
A vs. D
B vs. C
W-AD vs. W-BC
L-AD vs. L-BC

<b>Sunday May 19th</b>
#1 vs. #4
#2 vs. #3
W-1-4 vs. W-2-3

Two of the maps we'll use if we do this will be Champion's KR and HellSpawn "Jungle" style map. Might try and edit Icstos as a 3rd one.

Something to consider.

We don't have to have a tournament obviously.

I will play with USL settings and ref as needed.

you do not have permission to use SK:X itemset

Just do SL for another season and give Backs another ring already!

SL off-season with USL classes. Add new classes and balance other classes to make the off-season useful. SK:X is bad cause you have cloakers/summoners/blinks/other classes that would be awful or broken.


My suggestion:
Include infantry(fine tune the dmg or mobility to see if it can be viable). Assault shotgun will need work.

Revert GL load on naders. remove shotgun and desert eagle. Give them maklov lmg so they are useful in the open.

Reduce load time on MG back to original or a bit lower than original. Give them back there 50 ammo and revert dmg buff back to original(assuming the past reverts makes the class a lot stronger).

Increase AT ammo or make them use one ammo per shot. Increase range or give them 5-10 extra health to give them opportunities to close distance.

Give ripper increased mobility(either an active to increase mobility or just faster in general), faster delay to shoot instead of worrying about repositioning every 2secs, and reduce dmg(I think ripper was buffed .5dmg last season so maybe 1.5max?) assuming the faster delay is done correctly and they can fire immediately after repositioning.

Sorry. When I say let's try SK:X on USL maps, I do mean some exceptions: No summoning, no cloaking, no MML. Probably a few other things I'd not use. Main point would be to test and see classes that might work in USL in an organized setting on league maps. My thinking anyways.

Problem with an SL off season, it doesn't let us use the edited maps or new USL map. Assuming when everyone says SL they mean 6 flags and 3 lives. Unless someone wants to throw random flags on the USL maps we want to test.

But we can of course pick and choose a few items and just focus on testing those. See how people feel.

I’m SonHiro and I approve this message. Glad to be here with you guys.

NEW CLASSES IN LEAGUE SETTING?!!??! who would do such a thing!

Emp is out of control dude

In all seriousness, I feel like a good bit of you talk about wanting to do different stuff. Offseason is the perfect time to do something different.

Doesn't have to be SK:X. Doesn't have to test new maps. Those are just my ideas. We can do SnD (lol HS) or SL or whatever.

Think it over. Let's make the offseason count.

Give? I earned it. I ran over every fucking team. I sniped our every fucking medic in my way. I went 29-5 in the 3 final champ matches. I won MVP in the champ match.

just let it die

Can we have sov as our next league admin? He's been killing all of Emp's ideas

Sov > Emp
