Did koth change? (Discussion on changes Main thread)

Naw no one ever says that,…they’re better off staying at a distance and getting easy points from marking/crossing than risking getting killed for a measly 30/10 points… What TC did… was make KOTH a glorified TDM, and so now rounds go on 10+ min each because there’s no incentive to break or cap… The fact you cant see that shows you have no idea how to play the game mode.

Can we agree that majority want this changed ASAP? Can we get some word on TC to change this back or to something more reasonable like 200 a cap? I’d rather them just change it back to 300. Literally zero reason to mess with koth points. I play this game and follow it quite a lot and not once have I ever heard anyone complain about this stuff.

That’s what we want, for people to play to win and think twice.

People don’t say that? I mean, they do it all the time!

I highly doubt anyone in the entire community has played more koth than me and has more wins and more mvps than I do.

There are moments to cap, push, break, hold, lancer, gnasher, etc. Lots of people die die die for points.

This IS the point of it. People need to stop dying for nothing.

30/10 is too low, way too low. I’ll give you that.

I see everyone playing the same. Maybe people are noticing something of a placebo effect.

Only the top players have brought this up to my knowledge but no one ever said 30/10 would be good. A reduction was necessary but this is overdone in typical TC manner.

I disagree fully with your idea that it was necessary at all and the argument for it being changed fails on every point delivered.

To make people think twice before throwing their lives away.

I’ve already seen people play better and start ranking up because of it!

Play better at what? Getting kills? Certainly not at playing the objective. Which is what the game mode is about. The rank in koth obviously means nothing if it isn’t mostly based upon capturing the hill. It’s the game mode. Your logic is flawed.

Holding position and crossing to defend the hill and win the game.

Pushing together to take over the hill instead of breaking it only for the opp to recapture immediately.

Play as a team and not be selfish for points.

Yes, people can also only play for kills and their K/D which is frowned up on by me and that is not what I’m advocating.

From reading all the comments from this post I agree both sides of it. I only play KOTH (apart from Horde) and this is a bit of a deterrent, more because I use KOTH to advance my game score, not my rank. If I was to put a positive spin on this… Why not break it up into two groups? The hardcore ranked group which is heavily skilled based and another for “social” play? Increase the points for ranked as an incentive to play ranked to begin with and reduced points for social play to build up your skills without being slaughtered lol.

I do not like the change. Absolute crazy to drop below 100/50. If you want to make your game make a new ip and stop screwing up gears

I agree thats why i m calling tdmkoth players never come to ring… oh yes they come when no enemy teams around…when i have 35 caps he/she has 10
I m the person who effort to win the game but if we lose because who are not coming to the ring… it must effect his ranked level more upside down then us but hold on
Because he/she did not come to ring he/she a camper ?
A Sniper person ? Or a Gl gun person somewhere far away from ring to wait enemy respond area coming to him/ her and try to hunting them… less die then every one… he /she ranks up if you win or lose a game…
So whats the point ?

You do have a point but those are low level low IQ koth players. The style you said you exhibited is how koth should be played. however even playing with the appropriate style you have to agree that the cap in koth should point wise be at minimum equal to the points of a kill.

300p divided by the number of people in the ring w a minimum of 75 will be perfect. With current approach I’ve stopped playing since it is now just people camping and killing. Nobody fighting for the ring as before. I’ve done 25 captures vs 8-9 captures max in the rest of the room and i am not MVP because of #kills.

Frustrating

Please, change it to something reasonable. Now is really frustrating for those we wan t to get the hill

They ruined it, I just played a ranked KOTH and this is the result? how can someone who only gets 3 caps next to my 11, and no breaks be that close? Someone on here said it right, it’s just TDM now, no one cares about the objective because there’s no reward for it. Let one person play for the hill and just go hunting. I really hope they revert this change because it’s sad

That would make too much sense. TC don’t like that. :roll_eyes:

Delayed yes, but if the opponents spawn closer because of map placement, then it’s a problem.
