[Rules] Clock Reset After Opponent is Eliminated

by **JamesKer1** on Sun Jan 04, 2015 11:13 pm

Concise description:

Whenever an opponent is eliminated from a game, the clock should be reset to the original round limit time

Specifics/Details:

Especially in games with low time limits or large amounts of them, or both, it is very hard to sweep the map and can determine the difference in a win or a loss.
This applies for all game types- Sequential, Freestyle, and Casual (1 hour) to avoid coding issues and maximum optimization
Abuse is obsolete, no one is going to take the full time on purpose if they have a chance to win in a speeder. If it's in a casual, who cares about another hour?

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Takes out some "need for speed" and becomes more based on skill

For context, can you remind us what the current time bonus is when you eliminate someone?

I believe right now for speeders you get an addition of half the time of the round, so for a 2 min game you would get an additional minute.

I don't like this change. If I eliminate someone 30 seconds into a 2 min round, I would have 2 min 30 sec left under the current rules. Under this proposal, I would only have 2 minutes left. I don't believe this rule is in need of changing.

Times for the battle royale speed games were not being added to- maybe it was just a special setting then.

What if it was reset to the original length or the current time plus half, whichever is bigger? So you'd always have at least the 2 minutes?

Im agreeable to that suggestion. I don't play a ton of speeders (I would guess that in 6 months or so I wont be playing at all) but that seems like a good solution.

That would make sense, if you got extra time for BR eliminations your turn could potentially last a very, very long time.

Oh, at first, I thought the OP was about the Round Limit being reset after someone is eliminated. That sounds like a new intriguing feature, but I'll leave it to anyone else to tackle.
