ive seen a good number of pugs get ruined by balance due to drunk players. ive seen more get ruined by bad player combinations, like 2 people who hate each other and argue for the entire pug, or ppl trolling glxy for fun at the expense of the pug. additionally, an elo system is too slow. ive had pugs where a new player went 2-25. an elo system will need 10 games before it determines that new player is a 500 elo player, but a captain will understand immediately that's a last pick.

it is Impossible for an algorithm to adequately balance pugs. even if you made a super ai for this purpose (big waste of time), it still wouldn't do a good job, since an algorithm doesn't play the game or join vc.

make open pugs first 12 queue captain. balancing pugs with just an algorithm is impossible. ideally if someone volunteers captain, they can ignore queue if there aren't 2 captains of the first 12. add a currency system for volunteering med that lets you buy into the queue. also, make it so you don't automatically get removed from invite captain each time you get in an open pug.

these changes solve numerous issues. open captain stops abominations like 1 and 2 from happening, which is currently the norm. showing queue position makes it predictable and apparent who's in the next pug. recently, i got fatkidded over 3 pugs in a row by the flawed system. the currency system makes it so volunteering med is rewarding instead of only punishing, which is especially important, since at least about half the pugs that could be played, aren't, since so much time is wasted waiting for 2 meds.

i would also like to be able to post images in the rgl chat. this is for important reasons.

Demo checks are pointless when the blatant cheaters are still not banned and likely never will be. Every experience I've had with the admins over rules has been a bad one, and I hope either the leadership changes or the league fully dies off.

Ban the Pole. There can only be room for one of us.

If a clip is shown of someone cheating, that is evidence of cheating. If it is a clip that a good Samaritan has found himself, and it is clear that the person in the clip was blatantly cheating, then it shouldn't take longer than a day for the cheater to be banned by RGL. All of the cheaters that I've mentioned have yet to be banned despite having been reported and how well-known it is that they blatantly cheated over half a year ago.

I don't know what part you're having trouble with, yet you're quick with the insults after misconstruing my words. If you were a rational person who didn't understand my words, you would ask for clarification. Instead, you've chosen to discredit me by pretending as if I'm being incoherent and "stupid," despite me being more articulate than you are. I'm not interested in your emotional antics if it will come at the expense of this important thread, but if you are earnest I can elaborate if necessary.

I don't see how RGL is defensible in this. There is an absurd contrast in speed when it comes to public opinion and bans. When a high-profile cheater gets caught, it is likely that the community will ostracize them over half a year in advance before RGL seems to catch wind of it. Why is that acceptable? I'd understand if if the reports only consisted of a pointed finger, but in these cases the work is already done for the AC team. What is there to look at when someone starts spinbotting?

This is more apathetic than it is "Chad" in my eyes. I realize it's just a joke, but it shouldn't distract from how incompetent arcadia is. I have a good memory of when I asked arcadia about what the situation was with then recently-caught cheaters like cukei and cray, and I gave him the relevant videos in case he hadn't seen them:

Instead of being given important information, like if they would be banned or whether RGL thought this evidence was insufficient, I was given a snarky response about how it's my responsibility to go through the ticket system. I decided not to go through the ticket system. I thought it was more important to see if the head admin would stick to unimportant principles like these even to the detriment of the league. Cukei, safrix, cray, and della's furry friend have yet to be banned despite all of the work being done by others. It is very likely that other invite players are cheating, but proving it is a wasted effort if the very blatant cases aren't even given the time of day.

Neither the Palestinian State nor the Israeli one deserve the privilege of existing. There lies only the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

it's worth keeping sultry. it's hard to say whether it's truly a purgatory last or if people still need to learn the map, but if it's the former, there are a couple of small changes that can be made that would help with last pushes. imo, badlands isnt a good map, and because it's unlikely to ever change, i think it's better to move on.

No.

I only suggested a corruption, but good on you for recognizing its intrinsically degenerative sexual components.

at worst my post is lazily written, at best you should use a dictionary.

this is the same as soldiers saying scout is too strong. with them i get it but most who jump to that willingly ignore all their mistakes or excuse them on perceived imbalance. with mg there's less nuance: if u allow urself to get in range u die. most soldiers can't do it. i see no need to punish the small minority of soldiers who have good jumps and dm because scouts and meds are allowing themselves to die while ignoring all of the soldier's efforts. b4nny's defense is sufficient.

id prefer discourse, i think young man trying to shut u down for being a degenerate furry is bad, but i also cant take it on good conscience that an unprincipled hedonist that justifies lowering himself to animals wouldn't prefer to erase the challenges of dealing with mg instead of growing from them. if u move only towards pleasure, you'll naturally be appalled by anything which decreases it even temporarily.

pretty good reviews, i liked this one a lot:
