Return of Reckoning

is have the scenario announce that "reinforcements are incoming" this way you know you can try to push and fight after reinforcements have arrived.

At the end this will create more fighting for both sides, I bet that both sides prefer fighting than afk.

Also imagine how many solos are just waiting hours end to get into a sc, well this solution will help with that too , we won't have wasted scenarios ( afk people)

I especially liked the part where it relies less on the skills of the player involved and more on the zerg aspect. Just what scenarios need to be honest.

Thanks, it was the kind of a brilliant idea I knew people will really appreciate the moment they hear it- when it hit me, I simply knew that this is exactly what the scenarios were missing all along.

For whoever replied here, RoR is currently balanced about pug, since it is the majority of players on server. Pug vs pug or premade vs premade this won't be triggered, premade stomping pug for a full duration won't be back- devs were clear about that. This from other hand will give pug a reason to keep playing the sc when facing a premade, and will give premade some actual challenge when facing pug (and if you were in premade for farming pug for renown, see the "devs said no" part).

Just consider it protoss vs zerg sc mod.

You want pug vs pug? Queue the pug SC.
You want to be able to stand a chance against the people who took the initiative and queued up as a group? Make your own group to fight them.
You want to mindlessly zerg down smaller groups with larger numbers? Play RvR.

The current state of scenarios is a mess, it feels like ninety percent of scenarios end prematurely from domination and it is spoiling potentially good games where a comeback may have happened. This is on top of the other issues such as long queue times and solo 2h tanks being counted as DPS but these are beside the point.

I didn’t think we could have a worse implementation for domination, but you really raised the bar here. Consider never posting again.

Edit: A small side note; scenarios are supposed to end early when there is a numbers imbalance. I thought you might have considered that before putting pen to paper with this hot topic. But when you have someone who thinks that 12vs48 is a good alternative to domination, I suppose we can’t expect too much “deep thinking”.

I would have thought anyone who has ever played any scenario could tell you why having imbalanced team numbers is a bad idea, but apparently it is lost on you.
