Man the #*($& up

Man the #*($& up

A) Play random PUG games, like all real men do :)

 

B) Some peeps need to STOP crying about generals vs assassins.  Enjoy the game more.

 

Some of the most memorable games are 2 regs and a TB against 3 t1 generals on random.  We lost, no surprise, but we tore them up and the desperation of our situation evolved some crazy ideas. 

Hell, last game we'd universal gadget our "bait" guy leading the greedy SOB into 12 mines.  Little mark of the betrayer and a dual snipe for flavor and the other team wouldn't chase us much anymore.

We've used items I haven't used in a loooong time, if ever.

 

Get out of the "T1, must win, must stack teams, must rage if we don't have a general".  Join random and suck it up, sol-jah!

MOST random games go well.  There is little effort to check everyone's ratio, balance (cough, whine, cough), etc.  Decent players on both sides that claim they can play any DG.  Then the rule of averages works out for us.  Most games are strangely close to DG balance.  Some are very off, but then the players make up the "numbers".  The easy mode team gets lazy, selfish, and cocky.  The 3 regulii team gets desperate and communicates.

I suppose if you're playing with not so good players random games can be alright.  But if everyone on both sides is at least competent, the side that got the demigod advantage is always going to win.  If you want to see different demigod selection, just pick one.  I know the people I play with enjoy this, and the opposite team manages to pick an equally suited combo so things aren't ridiculous, but also not stale.  Reg / da / tb / rook / occ are frequently seen without the other team saying "lol they have a ___, let's go ere / oak / beast."

A lot could be solved by not using all random, but instead doing one random general and two random assassins. It's much more fun. Sure, it could work out so that you have oak and two beasts vs. queen/da/reg, but hey, it wouldn't be random if you didn't.

I would like a random mirror match mod that randomizes the characters but makes both teams have the same setup so it's completely fair and fun.
