Idea: random boost

[Althend]

Hello,
In order to increase the fun of the map and the possibilities, I suggest adding a special mode "event and boost.
I dont know if we should put it in the normal mode but I think that it would someway increase the fun.

My idea is too add random period "weather" providing boost or weakness during a period of time.
I know that it is not pure original idea, there some map with that kind of stuff on Bnet but i think it would suit Btanks.

For example as probabilities each 5 minutes:

50% normal time: all seems normal
5% Tempest: all air tank get 10-20% slower for 1-3 minutes, all weapon with range higher than 850 do 10-20% less damage
5% Sandstorm: all ground get 10-20% slower for 1-2 minutes, all weapon with range higher than 800 do 10-20 less damage
5% Dimensional trouble: teleport has 50% chance to teleport randomly during 2-4 minutes
5% High assault: Force produce double/triple ammount of creep during 1-3 minutes
5% Mortar assault : each side cp produce one mortar during 1-2 minutes
5% Fog: Fog is switch on during 1-3 minutes
5% Bounty time: Each tank kill give 30% more gold during 3 min
5% Creep time: Each creep kill gives 20% more gold during 2 min
5% Miasm: When tanks are outside road, they get -1%/sec damage, during 1-3 minutes
5% Unactive cp: Cp don't provide healing aura during 1-2 minutes.

What do you think about it?

Sounds fun
except sandstorm and tempest damage reduction is a big job.. others are ok..

yes i like it too
sounds fun, but plz do not implentent into normal mode (maybe replace it with hb )

Those weapon damage reductions sound impossible....

Probably ^__^

If you have other idea, effect; tell it.

With -w now being disabled from start, why would this ever be added? -W was only a small aesthetic feature and it got removed. This one can affect gameplay.

I have nothing against adding extra options that are not present in a normal game.
Depends if exo wants to go through all the effort.

I would rather he focuses on the normal game - but w/e

I can only agree to that - personally I wouldn't use that option simply because it's another random factor that screws up the balance...

Why would it screw the balance?

balance is all theoretical

Randomness is unbalanced - e.g. with these effects and the funky WC3 randomizing, the anti-air effect could occur multiple times in a row while not a single anti-ground effect occurs, effectively weakening air tanks and altering the balance of the game.

It's pretty much like old DotA's supercreeps - they were removed for exactly the same reason.
