I'm one of those people that has played this map for a very long time, hard to remember since when tbh, and never went to forums about it. Anyways I've played tft before wow great fan of linewars and after wow came out I always played that and ocasionally went and stil go back to Tft because of a btank addiction I still play both cause the map is great! Yet I'm also new to this forum because the map always seemed fine sorta and I never needed a place to QQ about anything... you know there's always new ways to play or tactics to change if people try and use "one" winning strat imo, but the anouncement of removing hb inspired me to check it out, yes I specially registered for this! lol
Now there's a couple reasons why I now play HB and actually dont mind it that much, let me sum them up...
1. Its not entirely faster but it feels faster since you have the chance to start from copter to heavy to frost to titan with imba guns, so OVERALL the "game experience" is faster because you play every "stage" of it in a shorter or same amount of time.
2. There's many things you can buy lots of tanks weapons etc etc. its fun to actually acquire those in a game (not necessarily every game but "often" is nice).
3. After playing 1.45 hours or longer in a normal mode and finally have saved for that great infernal with a frost or whichever, it sucks balls to start out with that helicopter that has to run off asap when a big group of creeps come's up. Ofcourse for this Liga game's were invented so your hard earned progress (read: win) wouldn't be lost.
4. If in HB you accidentally buy something wrong you can, if you play a least a little smart, fix that with some creep farming, or good play, in normal the gold come's in so slow which make's a mistake way less forgiveable, o and it don't always have to be mistakes factors ingame can change so that some things are not "that" usefull anymore like lets say a hero only gun when suddenly 2-3 people from the other team dc', esspecially interesting to new players imo.
5. And the current new reason is that most of the time (pretty much always) normal game's don't fill up on live b-net, at least not anymore, but I guess thats why hb is an issue atm.
There's more I think, but its late for me atm 2'o and this is what I can think about for now. Overall I don't think removing HB will be a good choice. Its just somewhat of a fact that people play this game to relax and logging in playing a game that feels like an entire game in 1hour or so is exactly what that does, and yeah I know (and know the difference) cause I've experienced all stage's from playing this "hardcore" to a casual gamer to none for a while and back to "hardcore" again etc. it just depended on how quickly wow burned me out again... and well that grindfest can do that quite fast!
p.s. its a long story but I guess people asked for it: Why do you play High Bounty? Well!!! leme tell you blabla long post crits you for over NINETHOUSAND! Sorry!
