Why do you play High Bounty?

psycho_dmr Wrote:so if we not remove HB mode and HB is to make games faster, then imho we have to add -cv mode to it, then games are definitely faster, because i think 15 min after all cps are captured the game is over. (and you cant camp in your own base then), THEN you have fast games for sure and the imbalances of HB arent such a big problem (ok then you still can buy troopcommand and get imba through creepfarming on sidelane, but hey, its only a funmode Oo)

You could, but part of the appeal to HB isn't just the fact the game is quicker, but also the fact that the progress of the game is also faster (you generally end the game with end-game equipment/tanks instead of ending with tier 2/3 tanks)...

Because it is hb.
Balancing is not done for hb

thats not all, balancing is not just "not done for HB", it is impossible for HB. see, exo and bob have developed BT over more then 4 years(!), changing some minor things on creeps, tanks, weapons, gold and so on, then somebody has the so damn stupid idea to add a funmode with double income. so all balancing development over the last years dont work in this mode.

if we want to balance hb we have one simple possibility: double EVERY gold and manaamount in the WHOLE game, THEN, and only then, we have a balanced "high bounty" mode (same for weak creeps, there we have to cut down EVERY amount by X). BT is balanced in really small steps in the last years, if we want to balance hb we will have the above szenario, a normal mode where every amount is doubled.

atm like bennie said, the whole team just waits into the own base until the other team is right before it, then "farm" maybe 30mins and then rush over the enemies base... that really sucks.



Is it Impossible to balance the HB mode? No, not if the appropriate time was spent to balance its dynamics (as you said it took four years to slowly tweak Normal). Seeing as we know the most blatant problems with HB, it is possible to start fixing a few of the bigger problems, such as the turtle problem, by tweaking with the bounty system (specifically for HB) and the way troops spawn/upgrade... But the way I see things, your viewpoint agrees with TKF:
TKF Wrote:I'm not against complete removal of hb mode which was my idea from the very beginning, even if we could lose 75% of the players I don't care. IT'S WORTH IT!
Considering the current majority of the board has the mindset of fixing HB is "not worth it because I don't want to see time spent having the game going in that direction - even if the majority want it to go that way," there's really nothing left to be said. Part of me agrees, but it does mean a part of the community will drift away. Whether that means anything or if it's worth the time trying to balance IMBA-mode to keep them is Paladon's call.
