6v6 ladder on ESL

There's already a thread about this in the clans subforum, but I have a feeling there are a lot of players who might be interested in joining this ladder but don't check that forum much, so please forgive the duplicate thread

Bump.

I'm so down with comp that I will sign up with my already made comp team right away.


Is what I would be saying if MNC had the basic features that go into a competitive-league game. Spectator mode, game lobbies, proper team switching, a ready up function, etc.

Until then? My interest could not be lower.

+1 for Yanderman

That's the spirit!

But you're right, it's not like you're capable of picking sides in this game or make a minimum players before start. And unlucky as we are, you just CANNOT take a screenshot in this game to get end result, this game, unlike most, is one of the ONLY games where the integrated screenshot function just does not apply.

I'm sorry for sounding like a douche, but are you kidding me? To be quoting yourself, you mentioned the BASIC features. Spectators is a luxury function and in itself has nothing to do with the competitive part, so tell me what's honestly missing on a BASIC level? We manage to play gather matches several times a week, and thus far it seems to have worked out which kind of makes you wonder if the basics at least aren't a given.

What Verden said. Also, you're just finding excuses just to sound like you're actually a good player that just can't competetive because the game won't let him.
Don't have any illusions, you're probably not that good. I dare you to get your team and challenge us if you have the courage to stand up for your words.

Semi-true. You can get competitive matches in any game that has multiplayer, however you won't get a very effective competitive match in any game.

I'm gonna try and get some friends together and put a team for ESL, but there is no point in doing this as the game is exclusively developed for the casual crowd and has no competitive potential, at all.

Not to mention the 200 concurrent players worldwide -.-

what

You're right, it's not like there's an actual objective in the game.

Besides, players with different skills, lanes with mobs. It all just sounds too familiar, right? But all in all none of the above points to anything just remotely competitive, AT ALL.

Sometimes the answer is just too obvious for me to put it in lamens terms, I apologize.

You are a worse assassin than me.

Just gettin' my daily trolling started.

I love these no brain replies. "I don't agree with you so i'll just post one word to show my IQ of 70."

I don't play assassin.

What are you trying to imply? That making a game with hero skills & lanes with AI is suddenly material for competitive play? Sure, if you bring in competitive features and actual developer support for it. As stated previously, this game is more fun to me than Black Ops or Bad Company, it just receives very little attention and has absolutely no features to promote competitive play. Also, 6v6 is a crappy teamsize. You should know of this since CS 1.5.

Then I'm right. Damn I'm good. I'll start fappin right away.

Also: If you don't play assassin, try not to tell me how good they are against certain classes even though they are not. Makes you look inexperienced (probably are, but welp). Just sayin'.

Saying that I don't play assassin isn't the same as saying i've never played assassin. I used to play assassin but have since moved on throughout all classes and ended up playing assault. So before you make any assumptions you might want to ask politely so you do not make these mildly retarded statements.

Assault? No skill class.

Shift + left click = kills

Go kill with skill son.

My "no brain" reply served the sole purpose of expressing disagreement with the quoted phrase, sir. Are this many words enough for an intelligent reply or do I have to write an essay simply to state that I don't agree with something?

Neither of those is a good game or a game suited for competetive. BF2 and MW1 were such, though. MNC allso falls for this category, but unfortunately, lacks some luxury features to bee seen as one.

Absolutely meaningless statement. TF2 is mostly played 6x6 for three years now and everyone is happy. Also, I don't like CS.

First off, I'm not going to bother creating an actual debate out of this as it seems obvious you haven't played this game competitively. You're still entitled to your opinion obviously, it just doesn't validate anything.

I've played cs since I was a kid going back 10 years, and competitively for 3. Now are you honestly trying to compare the two? It truly shows your definition of competitive play, which isn't entirely wrong, but you can't just put any shooter up against counter-strike. Yes, counter-strike is a very competitive game, because it's simple, has a simple object, but complex in the fact that you have billion ways of achieving your goal - besides being an aimstar obviously.

Monday night combat is competitive in a whole other way. Being constantly aware of the ejectors, annihilator, controlling juice, combining it all to push with bots and obviously being aware of how to constantly combine your skills against one or several opponents.

I didn't even have to mention all of this seeing as the mere fact that there are players only getting better at the game, is the sole purpose of why the game is obviously competitive.

Just because YOU haven't tried competitive play, doesn't mean it's not there.

I hate being so upfront, but it was clearly needed, I'm sorry.

If you don't believe MNC can be played competitively please join our "Skill Play" - hosted every Wednesday/Saturday/Sunday (non-formal)/public holidays (non-formal) - before coming to a conclusion.

The only trouble we have is getting people to join in time, and that usually takes about 10 minutes to do (I've been in TF2 lobbies which took longer to sort out) - teams/voice chat/"readying up" is done in under 2 minutes.

I also usually record the games, so if that's what you want spectator mode for, you don't need to worry (not sure what else it is needed for - nice to have but definitely shouldn't stop people playing).


PS: Gentlemen, can we please keep the flaming/rage/hatred for the battlefield, as it does no good here

star level based (or a better rating system) match-making is the only lacking feature i can think of

how does it have anything to do with competetive?

There is a difference between a competitive scene, look at CS, HoN or StarCraft and being a competitive player. Every hillbilly and his redneck cousins can be competitive players, if you establish a team of 3-6 and play a match versus another team, you are competitive. Actually, even public games are competitive, I think you need to look up the word.

Monday Night Combat can be highly competitive, but it cannot establish a competitive scene due to the lack of players and mostly due to the lack of any features to help build the scene & community required.

Don't get me wrong, but I would love to see a competitive community/scene for MNC, but it isn't here at the moment and it will never happen.

I'd love to join these "Skill Plays" but I haven't had the time recently when you've asked me, thanks for doing so by the way. I'm sure it's great fun playing on a higher level with teamwork and all, and as soon as I see the time fit for it i'll definately /msg about it.
